The Magenta Elevate (Magenta Medical Ltd.) pump-a novel transvalvular percutaneous ventricular assist device-was tested in the first-in-human study at the Israeli-Georgian Medical Research Clinic 'Helsicore' in Tbilisi, Georgia. Results on 14 patients undergoing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention suggested a promising safety and efficacy profile.

Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be used to evaluate procedural success and to guide stent optimization. Several studies have demonstrated that lower FFR after stent implantation is associated with increased adverse event rates up to 2 years. However, the impact of post-PCI FFR on very long-term clinical outcome remains unknown.

Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is a common and severe condition that requires rapid and accurate risk assessment and treatment. The Naples prognostic score (NPS) is a novel risk score that integrates nutritional and inflammatory parameters. The aim of this study was to investigate the NPS as a predictor of one-year mortality in NSTEMI patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Invasive coronary angiography is the gold standard for assessing in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients with coronary artery disease. However, the predictive value of non-invasive Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) to evaluate patients with ISR has not been studied extensively. A total of 41 patients (19 with acute myocardial infarction and 22 with stable angina pectoris) who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled in the study.

Introduction: The maximum residual tumour size after surgery is the most important prognostic factor related to survival in advanced ovarian cancer. This parameter can be subjectively determined by the surgeon at the end of the operation and by a radiologist with a postoperative CT scan. CT scans after optimal cytoreduction can reveal residual/progressive disease in a significant percentage of patients, ranging from 21% to 49%.
