    Abstract Aims: A common feature of various forms of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is progressive decline of pulmonary arterial compliance (C
    Methods and results: Eight patients with PH-LHD and 10 patients with PH-CLD were included in this study. The device was placed in the main pulmonary artery via the right femoral vein and was connected by a catheter to a gas-filled reservoir outside the body. During systole, gas shifts from the balloon to the reservoir, leading to deflation of the balloon. In diastole, the gas returns from the reservoir to the balloon, leading to balloon inflation and enhancing diastolic blood flow to the distal pulmonary capillary bed. Haemodynamics were assessed at baseline, and again with device off, device on and device off. The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of serious adverse events through 30 days after the procedure. No complications or investigational device-related serious adverse events occurred. Device activation in PH-LHD and PH-CLD patients decreased pulmonary arterial pulse pressure by 5.6 ± 4.2 mmHg (-12%; p = 0.003) and 4.2 ± 2.2 mmHg (-11%; p < 0.001), increased C
    Conclusions: Temporary implantation of the Aria endovascular device was feasible and safe. Device activation resulted in acute improvement of C

    Abstract The severity of coronavirus 2019 infection (COVID-19) is determined by the presence of pneumonia, severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (SARS-CoV-2), myocarditis, microvascular thrombosis and/or cytokine storms, all of which involve underlying inflammation. A principal defence against uncontrolled inflammation, and against viral infection in general, is provided by T regulatory lymphocytes (Tregs). Treg levels have been reported to be low in many COVID-19 patients and can be increased by vitamin D supplementation. Low vitamin D levels have been associated with an increase in inflammatory cytokines and a significantly increased risk of pneumonia and viral upper respiratory tract infections. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increase in thrombotic episodes, which are frequently observed in COVID-19. Vitamin D deficiency has been found to occur more frequently in patients with obesity and diabetes. These conditions are reported to carry a higher mortality in COVID-19. If vitamin D does in fact reduce the severity of COVID-19 in regard to pneumonia/ARDS, inflammation, inflammatory cytokines and thrombosis, it is our opinion that supplements would offer a relatively easy option to decrease the impact of the pandemic.
