TL;DR: In this article, the results of 30-day and 3-, 6-, and 12-month clinical follow-up after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) plus transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) were reported.

TL;DR: The total artificial heart (TAH) is a form of mechanical circulatory support in which the patient's native ventricles and valves are explanted and replaced by a pneumatically powered artificial heart.

TL;DR: Cutaneous fungal infections in solid‐organ transplant patients present in a variety of nonspecific ways, requiring a high index of suspicion to diagnose correctly and optimize the likelihood of a cure in a transplant population.

TL;DR: Vascular access-site complications remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality with cardiac catheterization and percutaneous intervention using the femoral approach, and alternate access sites, the use of fluoroscopic guidance, focus on anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy, and arterial closure devices are all methods being investigated to prevent and reduce complications.

TL;DR: Patients with NSTEMI and occlusion have a lower mortality risk than those with STEMI, possibly because of factors such as the amount of myocardium involved, the lesion location along the vessel, and/or a dual blood supply.
