Intervention rates and outcomes in medically managed uncomplicated descending thoracic aortic dissections

Maximilian Kreibich, Matthias Siepe, Tim Berger, Friedhelm Beyersdorf, Martin Soschynski, Christopher L. Schlett, Martin Czerny, Bartosz Rylski

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term incidence and outcome of aortic interventions for medically managed uncomplicated thoracic aortic dissections. Among the patients discharged home with uncomplicated aortic dissections, 33% of them required aortic interventions. A descending thoracic aortic diameter exceeding 45 mm was a predictive factor for aortic intervention. The risk for aortic intervention after 1 and 3 years was 27% and 36%, respectively.

Geirsson, E. Bagiella, J. Hung, A. C. Gelijns, P. T. O'Gara, G. Ailawadi

Summary: Patients undergoing mitral-valve surgery with tricuspid annuloplasty had lower incidence of primary-end-point events and progression of tricuspid regurgitation, but higher rate of permanent pacemaker implantation compared to those undergoing mitral-valve surgery alone. Long-term clinical benefits of reduced tricuspid regurgitation progression need further investigation.

Summary: The choice of plasma expander in the CARL priming solution plays a significant role in the success of CARL therapy, but it does not seem to have a clear impact on the seven-day survival rate and neurological deficit scoring.

Clinical Outcomes after Mitral Valve Surgery in Failed MitraClip Procedures

Clarence Pingpoh, Maximillian Kreibich, Tim Berger, Martin Thoma, Friedhelm Beyersdorf, Thomas Comberg, Albi Fagu, Matthias Siepe, Martin Czerny

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the in-hospital and overall outcome of patients who underwent mitral valve replacement (MVR) after a failed MitraClip procedure. The study found that the need for MVR after failed MitraClip repair is low and the results are acceptable. However, the options for reconstruction are often limited and MVR is frequently required.

Inferior mesenteric artery diameter and number of patent lumbar arteries as factors associated with significant type 2 endoleak after infrarenal endovascular aneurysm repair

Stoyan Kondov, Aleksandar Dimov, Friedhelm Beyersdorf, Lars Maruschke, Jan-Steffen Pooth, Maximilian Kreibich, Klaus Kaier, Matthias Siepe, Martin Czerny, Bartosz Rylski

Summary: After infrarenal endovascular aneurysm repair, patients with a diameter of the inferior mesenteric artery ≥3mm and with ≥3 patent lumbar arteries are at higher risk of developing significant type 2 endoleak.

Argon preconditioning protects neuronal cells with a Toll-like receptor-mediated effect

Stefanie Scheid, Adrien Lejarre, Jakob Wollborn, Hartmut Buerkle, Ulrich Goebel, Felix Ulbrich

Summary: Argon preconditioning protects neuronal cells from cell death by reducing apoptosis, decreasing the expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), enhancing phosphorylation of ERK1/2, and suppressing NF-kappa B and Akt expression. It also inhibits the expression of caspase-3, Bcl-2, interleukin-8, and heat shock proteins. Argon preconditioning may be a promising therapeutic alternative for conditions like stroke.

The association of prior paracetamol intake with outcome of very old intensive care patients with COVID-19: results from an international prospective multicentre trial

Summary: This study demonstrates that prior intake of paracetamol before ICU admission is not associated with short-term and long-term mortality in old, critically ill patients with COVID-19.

Diabetes mellitus is associated with 90-day mortality in old critically ill COVID-19 patients: a multicenter prospective observational cohort study

Timo Mayerhoefer, Sebastian Klein, Bernhard Wernly, Hans Flaatten, Bertrand Guidet, Dylan W. De Lange, Jesper Fjolner, Susannah Leaver, Michael Beil, Sigal Sviri, Raphael Romano Bruno, Antonio Artigas, Peter Vernon van Heerden, Bernardo Bollen Pinto, Joerg C. Schefold, Rui Moreno, Maurizio Cecconi, Wojciech Szczeklik, Christian Jung, Michael Joannidis

Summary: This study investigated the impact of diabetes mellitus on 90-day mortality in a high-risk cohort of critically ill patients over 70 years of age. The study found that patients with diabetes had a significantly higher 90-day mortality rate compared to those without diabetes. This suggests that diabetes is a relevant risk factor for COVID-19 in old critically ill patients.

Biomarker-guided intervention to prevent acute kidney injury after major surgery (BigpAK-2 trial): study protocol for an international, prospective, randomised controlled multicentre trial

Summary: The BigpAK-2 trial aims to verify the effectiveness of the KDIGO guideline-based bundle in reducing the incidence and severity of AKI after surgery. It will recruit 1302 high-risk patients undergoing major surgery and randomize them into either a standard of care or the KDIGO-based AKI care bundle. The primary endpoint is the incidence of moderate or severe AKI within 72 hours after surgery.

Asli Demir, Vincent Legros, Peter Rosenberger, Patricia Galan Menendez, Mercedes Garcia Alvarez, Ke Peng, Maxime Leger, Wegdan Khalel, Mukadder Orhan-Sungur, Melanie Meersch

Summary: This international study shows that approximately one in five surgical patients worldwide develop postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI). Risk factors for PO-AKI include age, comorbidities, surgery type, and urgency. Surgery-associated PO-AKI leads to poor outcomes and represents a significant burden for global healthcare systems.

Development of an in-vitro model for extracorporeal blood pumps to study the effects of artificial pulsatility on human blood

Barbara Zieger, Denise Schneider, Sam Joe Brixius, Christian Scherer, Armin Buchwald, Georg Trummer, Martin Czerny, Friedhelm Beyersdorf, Hans-Joerg Busch, Christoph Benk, Jan-Steffen Pooth

Summary: This study investigated the effects of pulsatile blood flow in an ex-vivo setting. After 6 hours of circulation, increased levels of interleukin 8 (IL-8) were observed in both non-pulsatile and pulsatile pump settings. Pulsatile pump flow resulted in significantly increased hemolysis after 6 hours of circulation. The study suggests that caution should be exercised when using prolonged durations of pulsatile pump flow in clinical practice.

Role of ECLS in Managing Post-Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture

Rodrigo Sandoval Boburg, Stoyan Kondov, Mladen Karamitev, Christian Schlensak, Rafal Berger, Helene Haeberle, Walter Jost, Albi Fagu, Friedhelm Beyersdorf, Maximilian Kreibich, Martin Czerny, Matthias Siepe

Summary: This study analyzed outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for ventricular septal rupture (VSR) after myocardial infarction (MI) and the preoperative use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS). The results showed that ECLS could be an effective procedure as a bridge to surgery in patients with VSR and cardiogenic shock, but there was no statistical difference in in-hospital and long-term mortality compared to those without ECLS.

The Impact of Head Position on Neurological and Histopathological Outcome Following Controlled Automated Reperfusion of the Whole Body (CARL) in a Pig Model

Summary: Head elevation after cardiac arrest can improve survival and neurological recovery. Head positioning is an independent factor in neurologically favorable survival. Head elevation did not result in significant differences in neurohistopathology, but transient neurological deficits were observed in clinical follow-up, potentially related to functions localized in the posterior perfusion area.
