Mashup Score: 2Do Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams in Acute Pulmonary Embolism Improve Outcomes? Insights from a Meta-analysis - 6 day(s) ago
Pulmonary embolism response teams (PERTs) are being increasingly used for the management of patients admitted with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and are endorsed by societal guidelines. Whether PERT improves outcomes remains unknown. The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the outcomes of patients with acute PE treated by a PERT versus no PERT.A systematic review and study level meta-analysis was conducted by searching PubMed and EMBASE databases from inception until November 10, 2024 and included studies evaluating efficacy of PERT vs no PERT in patients admitted for acute PE.

Mashup Score: 10Clinical Outcomes for Post-Infarct Ventricular Septal Defect Repair in a Large State-wide Surgical Registry - 4 month(s) ago
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a rare but severe complication with a high mortality.1 The incidence of post-AMI VSD has significantly declined in the U.S., from 3% to 0.3%, largely due to the widespread adoption of systems of AMI care. Key risk factors include female sex, advanced age, and delayed reperfusion.2 Medical therapy offers limited efficacy in patients with large VSD or those with hemodynamic instability. In patients with cardiogenic shock (CS), emergency VSD repair remains the standard of care, but the optimal timing of intervention remains controversial.

Mashup Score: 14National Costs for Cardiovascular-related Hospitalizations and Inpatient Procedures in the United States, 2016-2021 - 6 month(s) ago
The current economic burden of cardiovascular-related hospitalizations grouped by diagnoses and procedures in the U.S. has not been well characterized. The objective was to identify current trends in cardiovascular-related hospitalizations, procedural utilization, and health care costs, using the most recent 6 years of hospitalization data. A retrospective analysis of discharge data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was conducted to determine trends in cardiovascular-related hospitalizations, costs, and procedures for each year from 2016 to the most recent available dataset, 2021.

Mashup Score: 137Equipment for Chronic Total Occlusions Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Present and Future - 6 month(s) ago
Chronic total occlusions percutaneous coronary intervention (CTO-PCI) require dedicated equipment with properties that enable special functions. Industry efforts have been focused on developing novel devices to facilitate all aspects of CTO-PCI and complex procedures as a whole. These specialty devices may improve procedural success and reduce periprocedural complications. Many variations are available within device categories with distinct applications and advantages. The invention of new techniques drives device innovation, and failing strategies generate the need for new devices.

Mashup Score: 12Preprocedural Planning for Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention - 6 month(s) ago
Chronic total occlusions (CTO) are frequently encountered in clinical practice. Although the success rates and safety of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have significantly improved with the development of newer equipment, use of an algorithmic approach, and advancement in procedural techniques, CTO PCI has a higher rate of complication than does non-CTO PCI. Therefore, meticulous preprocedural planning before CTO PCI is paramount to improve success and reduce the risk of complications.

Mashup Score: 92
Chronic total occlusions (CTO) of the coronary arteries are common among patients presenting to the cardiac catheterization laboratory, and data suggests a worse overall prognosis in patients with CTOs. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of CTOs has been shown to improve anginal symptoms in observational studies and in a limited number of randomized trials. However, CTO PCI has not been shown to lead to a reduction in other important end points such as myocardial infarction or death. Furthermore, despite recent advances in the field, CTO PCI still carries higher risks and a lower likelihood of success compared with non-CTO PCI.
