Journal ArticleDOI

Intraaortic Protection From Embolization in Patients Undergoing Transaortic Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

TL;DR: The EMBOL-X protection device (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) is positioned within the ascending aorta to capture such debris as discussed by the authors, which results in the dislodgement of debris with risk of cerebral lesions or stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pleiotropic, heart rate-independent cardioprotection by ivabradine.

TL;DR: In pigs, ivabradine reduces infarct size even when given only at reperfusion and in the absence of heart rate reduction and the mechanism of this non‐heart rate‐related cardioprotection is unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI

No Evidence for Activated Autophagy in Left Ventricular Myocardium at Early Reperfusion with Protection by Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

TL;DR: Protection through RIPC in patients undergoing CABG surgery does not appear to be associated with enhanced autophagy in LV myocardium at early reperfusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential humoral mediators of remote ischemic preconditioning in patients undergoing surgical coronary revascularization

TL;DR: Arterial plasma concentrations of 25 different cytokines, growth hormones, and other factors which have previously been associated with cardioprotection are determined, before/after ischemic cardioplegic arrest in CABG patients and only interleukin-1α possibly fulfills the criteria which would be expected from a substance to be released in response to RIPC.
