Test Bench for Right Ventricular Failure Reversibility: The Hybrid BiVAD Concept

Patients with biventricular cardiogenic shock, ineligible for heart transplantation, may benefit from a micro-invasive hybrid BiVAD approach, combining the ProtekDuo cannula and the Impella 5.5 trans-aortic pump. This strategy, beyond ECMO, allows for physiological circulation, biventricular unloading, and accurate evaluation of right ventricular function, leading to the possibility of transitioning to less invasive, durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.

Supervised Machine Learning Model to Predict Mortality in Patients Undergoing Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation from a Nationwide Multicentre Registry

Machine learning models, specifically extreme gradient boosting and light gradient boosting, demonstrated higher accuracy than conventional models in predicting 90-day mortality for patients undergoing venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). These advanced models, outperforming existing methods like RESP and PRESERVE, show potential for improving patient selection by identifying those less likely to benefit from VV-ECMO therapy.
