We report a case of mechanical prosthetic mitral valve thrombosis in a 52-year-old woman with previous diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy, who was supported with advanced mechanical circulatory support after urgent mechanical mitral valve replacement (MVR) and tricuspid annuloplasty. Difficult weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass needed support with veno-arterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation and Impella (Abiomed Inc, Danvers, MA, USA), so-called ECPELLA. Temporary discontinuation of heparin and massive blood transfusion were necessary due to four times of reoperation for bleeding during ECPELLA support. Poor recovery of cardiac function needed escalation from ECPELLA to extracorporeal biventricular assist device (ex-BiVAD) using two centrifugal pumps on Day 12. After gradual decrease in the left ventricular assist device flow, transesophageal echocardiography and fluoroscopic images revealed the stuck leaflets of the mitral prosthesis. Therefore, the patient underwent re-MVR with a bioprosthesis on Day 18, followed by continued assistance with ex-BiVAD. The patient was finally weaned from ex-BiVAD on Day 28 and was transferred to the referral hospital for rehabilitation. She was alive in good general condition at 2-year follow-up. It is important to balance the effects of anticoagulation on advanced mechanical circulatory support with ECPELLA, against the side effects of bleeding, especially in post-cardiotomy patients with bleeding tendency. < We should recognize the fatal risks of bleeding and thrombosis during advanced mechanical support, including Impella, VA-ECMO, ECPELLA, and ex-BiVAD, especially in the post-cardiotomy setting. We should also understand the choice of mechanical circulatory support, timely escalation to ex-BiVAD to avoid multiorgan failure, the diagnosis of mechanical mitral prosthetic thrombosed valve using echocardiography and fluoroscopy, and mitral valve replacement in the patient supported with ex-BiVAD.>.

Heart Failure Division, Hospital de Messejana Dr Carlos Alberto Studart, Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil.

Data on post-heart transplant (HT) survival of patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy (CC) are scarce. We sought to evaluate post-HT survival in patients with CC as compared with other causes of heart failure across different eras of HT.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, cohort study of 376 adult HT recipients between October 1997 and November 2019. Read More

Computational Modeling of Deep Tissue Heating by an Automatic Thermal Massage Bed: Predicting the Effects on Circulation.

Jacek P Dmochowski Niranjan Khadka Luis Cardoso Edson Meneses Kiwon Lee Sungjin Kim Youngsoo Jin Marom Bikson

Front Med Technol 2022 14;4:925554. Epub 2022 Jun 14.

Department of Biomedical Engineering, City College of New York, New York, NY, United States.

Automatic thermal and mechanical massage beds support self-managed treatment, including reduction of pain and stress, enhanced circulation, and improved mobility. As the devices become more sophisticated (increasing the degrees of freedom), it is essential to identify the settings that best target the desired tissue. To that end, we developed an MRI-derived model of the lower back and simulated the physiological effects of a commercial thermal-mechanical massage bed. Read More

Background: In the MOMENTUM 3 (Multicenter Study of MagLev Technology in Patients Undergoing Mechanical Circulatory Support Therapy with HeartMate 3) pivotal trial, the HeartMate 3 (HM3) fully magnetically levitated left ventricular assist device (LVAD) demonstrated superiority over the axial-flow HeartMate II (HMII) LVAD. The patterns and predictors of hospitalizations with the HM3 LVAD have not been characterized.

Objectives: This study sought to determine causes, predictors, and impact of hospitalizations during LVAD support. Read More

Daniel Oren Robert Zilinyi Dor Lotan Matan Uriel Nir Uriel Gabriel Sayer

Curr Opin Cardiol 2022 Jun 28. Epub 2022 Jun 28.

Division of Cardiology, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, New York, USA.

Purpose Of Review: Temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) has become central in the treatment of refractory cardiogenic shock and can be used to bridge patients to durable MCS, heart transplant or recovery. This review will discuss contemporary data regarding bridging strategies utilizing tMCS.

Recent Findings: There has been significant growth in tMCS use recently, driven by increased familiarity with tMCS devices, and increased experience with both implantation and management. Read More
