Background: The Magenta Elevate is a 9-F, self-expanding, catheter-mounted pump delivered sheathed through a commercially available 10-F femoral introducer over the wire to the left ventricle (LV), providing temporary hemodynamic support up to an equivalent of normal cardiac output.

Objectives: The authors sought to assess the feasibility and outcomes of Elevate-supported high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HR-PCI) in a first-in-human study and study the hemodynamic impact of high-output support during prolonged interventional left main coronary artery (LM) occlusions.

Methods: In this study, 14 patients underwent Elevate-supported HR-PCI, with 8 patients undergoing 20 prolonged (39 ± 16 seconds) balloon occlusions of an unprotected LM.

Ventriculo-arterial uncoupling with an impella assisted HVAD: The p-D LVAD.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv

Department of Advanced Cardiopulmonary Therapies and Transplantation, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, Texas, USA.

This paper presents the novel use of a temporary percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD) in a 51-year-old man with an implanted durable left ventricular assist device (d-LVAD). The pre-existing left ventricular assist device was unable to successfully unload the left ventricle, and the addition of the temporary pVAD achieved successful unloading as well as a decrease in pulmonary artery pressures without compromising the function of the right ventricle allowing safe UNOS listing for orthotopic heart transplantation.

Increasing Levels of Positive End-expiratory Pressure Cause Stepwise Biventricular Stroke Work Reduction in a Porcine Model.

Anesthesiology

Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark; Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark.

Background: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is commonly applied to avoid atelectasis and improve oxygenation in patients during general anesthesia but affects cardiac pressures, volumes, and loading conditions through cardiorespiratory interactions. PEEP may therefore alter stroke work, which is the area enclosed by the pressure-volume loop and corresponds to the external work performed by the ventricles to eject blood. The low-pressure right ventricle may be even more susceptible to PEEP than the left ventricle.

Introduction: As a key determinant of cardiovascular performance, vascular-arterial coupling (VAC) has been reported to be a predictor of clinical outcomes in various clinical scenarios. However, few studies have explored how acute fluid removal during hemodialysis (HD) impacts the interaction between cardiac function and the arterial system.

Methods: We recruited 317 HD patients from an established renal dialysis unit for this cross-sectional study and a total of 285 were included in the final analyses.
