Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become an established treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) in an ever-growing patient population. It is not uncommon for patients who are undergoing TAVI to have technically difficult anatomy, simultaneous severe left ventricular (LV) impairment and/or extensive coronary artery disease. In this case series we present examples where the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) facilitated a safe aortic and coronary intervention in extremely complex patients who would have otherwise carried prohibitive procedural risk.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in severe mitral regurgitation following acute myocardial infarction - aetiology-based analysis.
Eur J Heart Fail

Jesselson Integrated Heart Centre, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.
Aims: To evaluate the association between transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and outcomes in patients with significant mitral regurgitation (MR) following acute myocardial infarction (MI), focusing on the aetiology of acute post-MI MR in high-risk surgical patients.
Methods And Results: The International Registry of MitraClip in Acute Mitral Regurgitation following Acute Myocardial Infarction (IREMMI) includes 187 patients with severe MR post-MI managed with TEER. Of these, 176 were included in the analysis, 23 (13%) patients had acute papillary muscle rupture (PMR) and 153 (87%) acute secondary MR.
Procedural sedative effect of remimazolam in ICU patients on invasive mechanical ventilation: a randomised, prospective study.

Department of Intensive Care Unit, Yanbian University Hospital, No. 1327, Juzi Street, Xinxing Street, Yanji, 136200, Jilin, China.
Background: Invasive procedures and environmental factors in the intensive care unit (ICU) may cause anxiety and discomfort in patients, who often require sedation therapy. The aim of this study was to assess the safety of remimazolam tosilate for procedural sedation in ICU patients receiving mechanical ventilation following endotracheal intubation. Eighty patients from a single centre were randomly assigned to either the propofol group or the remimazolam group.

Owing to recent advances in early reperfusion and pharmacological therapies, the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has considerably improved over the past decades. However, the mortality rate remains high at ~40-50% after AMI when complicated by cardiogenic shock. Although immediate coronary revascularization of the infarct-related artery has been the only evidence-based treatment, temporary mechanical circulatory support with a microaxial flow pump (Impella) has become another therapeutic option supported by randomized trial data in highly selected patients.

Background: ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors are one of the primary immunotherapies for fusion-positive cancers. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors have markedly improved outcomes for advanced cancers previously with poor prognosis. Entrectinib is an example of an ROS1 inhibitor that can be used for lung adenocarcinoma.
