Abstract:

Objective: One of the most common side effects of spinal anesthesia (SA) is hypotension. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacay of inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter measurements, perfusion index (PI) and pleth variability index (PVI) values in determining the risk of developing hypotension after SA. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 81 patients who underwent transurethral prostatectomy. Before administration of SA, PI and PVI values, IVC diameters (IVCmin: during inspiration and IVCmax: during expiration) and IVC collapsibility index (IVCCI) values and non-invasive

Abstract:

Background: In critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), early aggressive fluid replacement is the cornerstone of resuscitation. Traditionally employed static measures of fluid responsiveness have a poor predictive value. It is therefore imperative to employ dynamic measures of fluid responsiveness that take into account the heart lung interactions in the mechanically ventilated patients. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the reliability of one such non-invasive dynamic index: Plethysmographic variability index (PVI) compared to the widely employed Inferior vena

Abstract:

Next to anticoagulation, pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the most important interventional procedure in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Despite widespread clinical application of this therapy, patients often require multiple procedures to reach clinical success. In contrast to conventional imaging modalities, MRI allows direct visualisation of the ablation lesion. Therefore, the use of real-time MRI to guide cardiac electrophysiology procedures may increase clinical effectiveness. An essential aspect, from a decision-making point of view, is the effect on costs and the potential c

The cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), which can be achieved in more than 95% of patients at the end of the procedure.

The aim of this study is to review the available literature addressing the role of adenosine testing and determine the impact of ablation at sites of PV reconnection on freedom from AF.

The purpose of this study was to establish thresholds for (1) ESR and (2) CRP to diagnose PJI in rHHA.

Abstract:

Introduction: Electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) using percutaneous epicardial ligation may improve catheter ablation outcomes for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Little is known regarding the cost effectiveness of this procedure. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that cost-effectiveness between pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) + LAA epicardial ligation using a percutaneous LARIAT ® Suture Delivery Device would be cost effective (CE) compared to PVI alone over 5 years. Methods: A Markov model simulated outcomes for a population with annual stroke risk of 4.6% (CH

Abstract:

AbstractIdentifying patients who would benefit from extensive catheter ablation along with pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) among those with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) has been a subject of controversy. The objective of this study was to apply uplift modeling, a machine learning method for analyzing individual causal effect, to identify such patients in the EARNEST-PVI trial, a randomized trial in patients with persistent AF. We developed 16 uplift models using different machine learning algorithms, and determined that the best performing model was adaptive boosting using Qini coefficie

Abstract:

Objective Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a debilitating condition affecting a quarter of premenopausal women and has been associated with pelvic vein incompetence (PVI). Catheter venography (CV) is the standard investigation, although transvaginal duplex (TVDU) ultrasound has emerged as a promising alternative. The accuracy of TVDU compared to CV is undefined and the optimal reflux time measured by TVDU to diagnose PVI is unknown. This study aimed to establish the diagnostic accuracy of TVDU in those with suspected PVI. Methods This cohort study included women enrolled into a randomised controll

However, this approach has not been widely established, in part owed to the lack of standardization of the LGE quantification method.
