acute massive pulmonary embolism :: Article Creator PEERLESS: FlowTriever Tops Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis For Acute PE WASHINGTON, DC—In PEERLESS, the first randomized controlled trial pitting two different interventional strategies against each other in pulmonary embolism (PE), patients with acute intermediate-risk PE fared better over the short term if they received large-bore mechanical thrombectomy with the FlowTriever system (Inari Medical) rather than catheter-directed thrombolysis. As Wissam Jaber, MD (Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, GA), showed here at TCT 2024, a hierarchical primary endpoint measured early after the procedure favored thrombectomy, with a win ratio of 5.01 (95% CI 3.68-6.97).

pre heart failure :: Article Creator The Smartwatches That Can Predict Parkinson's Disease It's hoped that the data collected by smartwatches could soon help to reduce the risk of complications during surgery (Credit: Getty Images) Smartwatches gather vast amounts of data about our physiology. Now their technology is being harnessed like never before. As the chief anaesthesiologist at CHUV University Hospital, Patrick Schoettker is all too aware of the complications which can follow a lengthy operation under general anaesthetic. Rapid blood loss from the surgical site can send the patient into shock, triggering sudden and dangerous dips in blood flow through the body. But patients can also develop severe lung problems after many hours of deep sedation, a complication which accounts for a quarter of all deaths within the first six days of surgery. Such tragedies sometimes occur due to underlying frailties in the pati...
