Morphologic Types of Tricuspid Regurgitation: Characteristics and Prognostic Implications.
Prihadi EA, Delgado V, Leon MB, Enriquez-Sarano M, Topilsky Y, Bax JJ
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is classified according to different morphologic types based on the underlying mechanisms: primary, secondary, and isolated TR. Primary TR is caused by an anatomical abnormality of the tricuspid valve apparatus. Secondary TR is caused by dilation of the tricuspid valve annulus, related to right ventricular (RV), or right atrial remodeling and increased RV pressures (often secondary to left-sided heart disease). Isolated TR can exist in patients without increased RV p...

The APOE<sup>∗</sup>3-Leiden Heterozygous Glucokinase Knockout Mouse as Novel Translational Disease Model for Type 2 Diabetes, Dyslipidemia, and Diabetic Atherosclerosis.
Pouwer MG, Heinonen SE, Behrendt M, Andréasson AC, van Koppen A, Menke AL, Pieterman EJ, van den Hoek AM, Jukema JW, Leighton B, Jönsson-Rylander AC, Princen HMG
Background: There is a lack of predictive preclinical animal models combining atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes. APOE∗3-Leiden (E3L) mice are a well-established model for diet-induced hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis, and glucokinase+/- (GK+/-) mice are a translatable disease model for glucose control in type 2 diabetes. The respective mice respond similarly to lipid-lowering and antidiabetic drugs as humans. The objective of this study was to evaluate/characterize the APOE∗3-Leiden.glucokin...

Percutaneous Decannulation of Femoral Venoarterial ECMO Cannulas Using MANTA Vascular Closure Device.
Montero-Cabezas JM, van der Meer RW, van der Kley F, Elzo Kraemer CV, López Matta JE, Schalij MJ, de Weger A
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly used in the treatment of refractory cardiac arrest and postarrest cardiogenic shock. We propose a technique for percutaneous decannulation of femoral venoarterial ECMO cannulas by using the MANTA vascular closure device, designed to close large-bore arteriotomies. This technique significantly simplifies the decannulation and might diminish the potential complications caused by the standard surgical removal.
