Investigation of the Effect of Pulsatile and Nonpulsatile Flow on Kidney in Coronary Surgery With NIRS

Health Technology Assessment for Cardiovascular Digital Health Technologies and Artificial Intelligence: Why is it Different?

In this review, we compare digital health technologies and artificial intelligence with traditional healthcare technologies, review existing health technology assessment frameworks, and discuss challenges and opportunities related to cardiovascular digital health technologies and artificial intelligence health technology assessment. Specifically, we argue that health technology assessments for digital health technologies and artificial intelligence applications must allow for a much shorter device life cycle, given the rapid and even potentially continuously iterative nature of this technology, and thus an evidence base that maybe less mature, compared to traditional health technologies and intervention

Magnetic Levitation Pump Versus Constrained Vortex Pump: A Pilot Study on the Hemolysis Effect During Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Circulation

Our pilot study suggests that the use of magnetically levitated centrifugal pumps for extracorporeal circulation support is associated with a lower risk of hemolysis, though larger studies are warranted to confirm our results.
