Does cavopulmonary anastomosis improve left ventricular assist device support in acute biventricular failure?
The concomitant use of cavopulmonary anastomosis during LVAD support in a model of severe biventricular failure limited right ventricular overloading and resulted in better hemodynamic performance.
Home-based HFE decreased circulating VEGF in patients with stable CAD, suggesting a reduced ischaemic burden. HFE does not increase markers of cardiac dysfunction, suggesting that it is a safe therapeutic intervention in these patients.
