    Abstract We describe a patient who presented with respiratory failure, chest pain, and fever. In the COVID-19 pandemic era, the focus was diverted to the coronavirus infection, and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was missed. Although we need to be vigilant in the diagnosis of COVID-19, we should not forget about the common disorders. (

    Abstract The preCARDIA system is a device combining a balloon-mounted catheter and an extracorporeal system designed for intermittent occlusion of the superior vena cava. Studies have established safety and efficacy in acute decompensated heart failure. We present a single-center experience detailing 90 days outcomes and procedural insights. A 24 hours therapy session demonstrated reduced pulmonary wedge pressures and increased urine output, with cardiac output remaining unchanged. There was one readmission and no heart failure-related readmissions at 90 days. The preCARDIA device appears to be a safe mechanical diuretic strategy to manage patients with acute decompensated heart failure beyond current therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Background: Desensitization is one of the strategies to reduce antibodies and facilitate heart transplantation in highly sensitized patients. We describe our center's desensitization experience with combination of plasma cell (PC) depletion therapy (with proteasome inhibitor or daratumumab) and costimulation blockade (with belatacept).
    Methods: We reviewed five highly sensitized patients who underwent desensitization therapy with plasma cell depletion and costimulation blockade. We evaluated the response to therapy by measuring the changes in cPRA, average MFI, and number of positive beads > 5000MFI.
    Results: Five patients, mean age of 56 (37-66) years with average cPRA of 98% at 5000 MFI underwent desensitization therapy. After desensitization, mean cPRA decreased from 98% to 70% (p = .09), average number of beads > 5000 MFI decreased from 59 to 37 (p = .15), and average MFI of beads > 5000 MFI decreased from 16713 to 13074 (p = .26).
    Conclusion: Combined PC depletion and CoB could be a reasonable strategy for sustained reduction in antibodies in highly sensitized patients being listed for heart transplantation.

    Abstract Infections from prolonged use of axillary intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABPs) have not been well studied. Bloodstream infection (BSI) occurred in 13% of our patients; however, no difference in outcome was noted between those with BSI and those without. Further studies regarding protocol developments that minimize BSI risk are needed.
