Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a challenging syndrome, associated with significant morbidity
and mortality. Although pharmacological therapies are successful and can successfully …

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are mechanical supports used in case of heart
failure. Little is known as the height of the anastomosis in aorta might influence the …

Abstract A Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is used to provide haemodynamic support
to patients with critical cardiac failure. As LVADs generate continuous flow to better …

Background and objective A gap still exists in the hemodynamic effect of intra-aortic balloon
pump (IABP), venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), and VA …

Balloon pumps are employed to assist cardiac function in cases of acute myocardial
infarction, ventricular arrhythmias, cardiogenic shock, unstable angina, refractory ventricular …

Patients with heart failure (HF) or undergoing cardiogenic shock and percutaneous coronary
intervention require short-term cardiac support. Short-term cardiac support using a left …

The intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a widely‐used mechanical circulatory support
device that enhances hemodynamics in patients with heart conditions. Although the IABP is …

Coronary arteries are medium-small caliber vessels, in which low shear rate values are
encountered, where non-Newtonian blood effects cannot be neglected. This work aims to …

Intra-arterial selective cooling infusion (IA-SCI) is a promising method for neuroprotection of
patients with acute ischemic stroke. One shortcoming of IA-SCI is the elevated delivery …

Cerebral hypoperfusion that may occur during linear cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is often
responsible for mnemonic problems, loss of neural functions, or coma. Pulsed CPB might …
