The US4ABL Strategy: A Systematic Ultrasound-Guided Approach for Left Atrial and Ventricular Ablation Procedures.
J Clin Med
December 2024
Division of Cardiology, Pulmonology and Vascular Medicine, Medical Faculty, Heinrich-Heine University, 40225 Düsseldorf, Germany.
: The safety and efficacy of electrophysiological (EP) procedures using ultrasound (US) guidance are being increasingly studied. We investigated if a systematic workflow with ultrasound guidance (the US4ABL), comprising four steps (transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for left atrial thrombus exclusion, US of the groin vessels to guide femoral access, TEE-aided transseptal puncture, and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for exclusion of pericardial tamponade after the procedure), reduces the number of complications and fluoroscopy duration and dose. : A total of 212 consecutive patients underwent left-sided ablations using the US4ABL workflow and were compared to a group of 299 patients who underwent the same type of ablations using post-procedural TTE to exclude tamponade (standard group: venous and/or arterial access by palpation and fluoroscopy, and pressure guided transseptal puncture).

December 2024
Department of Respiratory Medicine, NHO Nagoya Medical Center, Nagoya, Japan.
Background And Objective: Transesophageal endosonography, including endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and endoscopic ultrasound with bronchoscope-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA), has been applied to the diagnosis of benign as well as malignant diseases. This narrative review summarizes the recent use of EUS-(B)-FNA in diagnosing sarcoidosis.
Methods: A comprehensive and systematic online literature search of PubMed was conducted using the keywords ("sarcoidosis"), and ("EUS" OR "EUS-FNA" OR "EUS-B" OR "EUS-B-FNA" OR "endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration" OR "endoscopic ultrasound using the EBUS scope guided fine needle aspiration" OR "endoscopic ultrasound using the EBUS bronchoscope" OR "transesophageal" OR "transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration" OR "transesophageal bronchoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration").
Comparative Analysis of Irrigation Mist and CO vs. Direct CO Blower in On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Anastomosis: Efficacy, Efficiency, and Fibrillation upon De-Clamping and Micro-Embolic Gas Activity Incidence.
Medicina (Kaunas)
December 2024
Department of Cardiac Surgery, Anthea Hospital GVM Care and Research, Via Camillo Rosalba 35/37, 70124 Bari, Italy.
In coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on pump, achieving optimal visualization is critical for surgical precision and safety. The use of blowers to clear the CABG anastomosis poses risks, including the formation of micro-embolic gas bubbles, which can be insidious and increase the risk of cerebral or myocardial complications. This retrospective study compares the effectiveness of the use of irrigation mist and CO versus a direct CO blower without irrigation in terms of visualization, postoperative fibrillation, and micro-embolic gas activity.

December 2024
Department of Clinical Sciences and James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, United States.
Objective: To determine procedural feasibility, safety, and short-term efficacy in dogs with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with a canine-specific device.
Design: Prospective, single-arm (uncontrolled), single-institution clinical feasibility study.
Animals: Fifty client-owned dogs with severe degenerative MR operated over a 28-month period.
Concept, Design, and Preclinical Testing of a Remote-Control Robotic System for Transesophageal Echocardiography.
Struct Heart
November 2024
Marienkrankenhaus Hamburg gGmbH, Department for Cardiology, Angiology, and Intensive Care, Hamburg, Germany.
Background: Interventional echocardiography (IE) plays a critical role in guiding structural heart interventions. IE specialists face challenges including high radiation exposure and unfavorable ergonomics. To address these issues, a novel remote-control robotic (RCR) system for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) control has been developed.
