Abstract
AIMS Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is associated with a substantial rate of adverse events. We sought to design a machine learning (ML)-based model to predict the risk of in-hospital death and to perform a clustering of TTS patients to identify different risk profiles. METHODS AND RESULTS A ridge logistic regression-based ML model for predicting in-hospital death was developed on 3482 TTS patients from the International Takotsubo (InterTAK) Registry, randomly split in a train and an internal validation cohort (75% and 25% of the sample size, respectively) and evaluated in an external validation cohort (1037 patients). Thirty-one clinically relevant variables were included in the prediction model. Model performance represented the primary endpoint and was assessed according to area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity. As secondary endpoint, a K-medoids clustering algorithm was designed to stratify patients into phenotypic groups based on the 10 most relevant features emerging from the main model. The overall incidence of in-hospital death was 5.2%. The InterTAK-ML model showed an AUC of 0.89 (0.85-0.92), a sensitivity of 0.85 (0.78-0.95) and a specificity of 0.76 (0.74-0.79) in the internal validation cohort and an AUC of 0.82 (0.73-0.91), a sensitivity of 0.74 (0.61-0.87) and a specificity of 0.79 (0.77-0.81) in the external cohort for in-hospital death prediction. By exploiting the 10 variables showing the highest feature importance, TTS patients were clustered into six groups associated with different risks of in-hospital death (28.8% vs. 15.5% vs. 5.4% vs. 1.0.8% vs. 0.5%) which were consistent also in the external cohort. CONCLUSION A ML-based approach for the identification of TTS patients at risk of adverse short-term prognosis is feasible and effective. The InterTAK-ML model showed unprecedented discriminative capability for the prediction of in-hospital death.

Abstract
Clinical and economic burdens exist within the coronary artery disease (CAD) care pathway despite advances in diagnosis and treatment and the increasing utilization of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, research presenting a comprehensive assessment of the challenges across this pathway is scarce. This contemporary review identifies relevant studies related to inefficiencies in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of CAD, including clinician, patient, and economic burdens. Studies demonstrating the benefits of integration and automation within the catheterization laboratory and across the CAD care pathway were also included. Most studies were published in the last 5-10 years and focused on North America and Europe. The review demonstrated multiple potentially avoidable inefficiencies, with a focus on access, appropriate use, conduct, and follow-up related to PCI. Inefficiencies included misdiagnosis, delays in emergency care, suboptimal testing, longer procedure times, risk of recurrent cardiac events, incomplete treatment, and challenges accessing and adhering to post-acute care. Across the CAD pathway, this review revealed that high clinician burnout, complex technologies, radiation, and contrast media exposure, amongst others, negatively impact workflow and patient care. Potential solutions include greater integration and interoperability between technologies and systems, improved standardization, and increased automation to reduce burdens in CAD and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS While obesity has been linked to better ouctomes (the obesity paradox), cachexia is associated with higher mortality in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). As opposed to overt cachexia, little is known about the prognostic impact of gradual, long-term weight changes in stable HFrEF. METHODS AND RESULTS We included ambulatory patients with clinically stable chronic HFrEF on individually optimized treatment. Next to other clinical and functional parameters, changes in body weight over the past one (n = 733, group 1) or two (n = 636, group 2) years were recorded. Four-year mortality was analysed with respect to baseline BMI and changes in body weight or BMI using fractional polynomials. In addition, outcome was stratified by BMI categories (18.5-25 kg/m2: normal weight, >25-30 kg/m2: overweight, >30 kg/m2: obesity). An obesity paradox was present in both groups, with overweight and obese patients having the best prognosis. In both groups, a gradual weight gain of 5% was associated with the lowest mortality, whereas mortality steadily increases with increasing weight loss. Excessive weight gain >10% was also related to higher mortality. Stratification by baseline BMI categories revealed that weight loss was most detrimental in normal weight patients, whereas the prognostic impact of weight change was weaker in obese patients. CONCLUSION In patients with chronic HFrEF, gradual weight loss is associated with steadily increasing mortality, whereas a weight gain of 5% is related to the best prognosis. Prevention of any inappropriate weight loss might be a therapeutic goal in HFrEF patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is recommended to treat paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). This analysis aimed to assess the hospital efficiency of single-shot cryoballoon ablation (CBA) and point-by-point radiofrequency ablation (RFA). METHODS The discrete event simulation used PVI procedure times from the FREEZE Cohort study to establish the electrophysiology (EP) lab occupancy time. 1000 EP lab days were simulated according to an illustrative German hospital, including 3 PVI cases per day using CBA at one site and RFA at the other. RESULTS The analysis included 1560 CBA patients and 1344 RFA patients from the FREEZE Cohort. Some baseline patients' characteristics were different between groups (age, AF type, and some concomitant diseases), without being statistically associated to ablation procedure time. Mean procedure time was 122.2 ± 39.4 min for CBA and 160.3 ± 53.5 min for RFA (p < 0.0001). RFA was associated with a more than five-fold increase of cumulative overtime compared to CBA over the simulated period (1285 h with RFA and 253 h with CBA). 70.7% of RFA lab days included overtime versus 25.7% for CBA. CBA was associated with more days with an additional hour at the end of the EP lab shift compared to RFA (47.8% vs 11.5% days with one hour left, respectively). CONCLUSION CBA is faster and more predictable than point-by-point RFA, and enables improvements in EP lab efficiency, including: fewer cumulative overtime hours, more days where overtime is avoided and more days with remaining time for the staff or for any EP lab usage. Clinical trial registration NCT01360008 (first registration 25/05/2011).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The orthopedic community is divided on the question of whether modern technologies in arthroplasty improve outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this initiative of the working group on intraoperative imaging and technology integration (Arbeitsgemeinschaft intraoperative Bildgebung und Technologieintegration, AGiTEC) is to initiate the collection of additional data for the scientific evaluation of modern technologies. QUESTION To what extent are modern technologies currently used and which implementations are planned? Do the members of the German Society for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery (DGOU) consider the acquisition of additional data for scientific assessment necessary? METHODS Members of the DGOU were asked via an e‑mail survey about the distribution and projected introduction of modern technologies in arthroplasty. They were also asked whether sufficient data were collected for scientific evaluation and whether acquisition of additional data in studies or arthroplasty registries were considered necessary. RESULTS Of the 7923 probands surveyed, 428 completed the questionnaire in full (5.4%). It was found that individual implants and navigation are currently the most frequently used (31% and 29%, respectively). The largest increases in the next 2 years are projected for virtual reality and robotics (+30% and +23%, respectively), 85% of respondents indicated that insufficient data were collected for scientific evaluation, and 89% each requested initiation of multicenter studies and inclusion of technologies in the arthroplasty registry. CONCLUSION The results of this study should motivate the scientific community, industry, and those responsible for the arthroplasty registries to collect and analyze data for the scientific assessment of modern technologies.

Abstract
Aniridia is a condition characterized by defects or absence of the iris. Since the eyes are a central point of attention in the human face, these deformities are often covered with cosmetic implants. However, patients suffer from the static pupil diameter of these implants, resulting in high light sensitivity or inadequate night vision. Therefore, we present a functional iris implant based on dielectric elastomer actuators. These electric drives are characterized by a silent and continuous adaptation as well as a small construction volume and a low heat emission. Since they normally exhibit in-plane uniaxial motion, this displacement must be focused to operate similarly to the iris sphincter. Therefore, we investigated possible mechanical modifications of the setups to generate a directional motion. The results of the study are presented and discussed.Clinical Relevance- The proposed system design enables the functional treatment of aniridia and other accidental iris defects. In addition, the system serves as a basis for later developments of e.g. functional lenses that allow focus adjustment.

Abstract
Active urologic implants, such as bladder stimulators or artificial sphincters, are a widely-used approach for therapy of urinary incontinence. At present these devices are powered by primary batteries or conventional wireless power transferring techniques. As these methods are associated with several limitations, human body energy harvesting can be a promising alternative or complement for power supply. This paper introduces an approach to harvest energy from the urine flow inside the urethra with a mechatronic harvesting system based on a hubless flow turbine. Using a test bench approximating the flow conditions of the lower urinary tract, the feasibility of the harvesting principle is shown in-vitro.

Abstract
To engage in socio-emotional interactions, children with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) need support to understand and convey emotions. In our approach, a humanoid robot (Pepper, Softbanks Robotics) acts as a tutor for the child within autism care. The robot, equipped with multimodal sensor technology to acquire the emotional feedback of the child, stimulates the child to perform tasks, adapted to its current arousal state. By in-, or decreasing the difficulties of implemented training modules, the child can be given the appropriate task according to its emotional state. The child’s arousal is measured with different techniques implemented in and on the robot: emotion detection based on audio recordings of the speech signal and camera detected facial expressions, or heart rate. To this end, the remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) signal from camera recordings of the subjects’ face is acquired. While its unintrusive measurement is an advantage, a major drawback for rPPG is its proneness to motion and light artefacts requiring de-noising steps. A wavelet transform based on log-Gabor wavelets and a filter bank with 32 filters was implemented. The signal was filtered with a prior filter and afterwards with a Markov chain in order to extract the underlying pulse rate. Within an initial study, five children were observed watching videos with different co-notated emotions. As reference for the heart rate (HR), a wristband (empatica E4) was used. The captured emotions of all subjects were annotated to identify low and high arousal parts and positive and negative emotions. Extracted HR from rPPG-data indicated a correlation with the annotated emotions.

Abstract
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for mortality. The prevalence, clinical correlates, and prognostic impact of AF in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) have not yet been investigated in a large patient cohort. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, clinical correlates, and prognostic impact of AF in patients with TTS. Methods and Results Patients with TTS were enrolled from the International Takotsubo Registry, which is a multinational network with 26 participating centers in Europe and the United States. Patients were dichotomized according to the presence or absence of AF at the time of admission. Of 1584 patients with TTS, 112 (7.1%) had AF. The mean age was higher (P<0.001), and there were fewer women (P=0.046) in the AF than in the non‐AF group. Left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly lower (P=0.001), and cardiogenic shock was more often observed (P<0.001) in the AF group. Both in‐hospital (P<0.001) and long‐term mortality (P<0.001) were higher in the AF group. Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that AF was independently associated with higher long‐term mortality (hazard ratio, 2.31; 95% CI, 1.50–3.55; P<0.001). Among patients with AF on admission, 42% had no known history of AF before the acute TTS event, and such patients had comparable in‐hospital and long‐term outcomes compared with those with a history of AF. Conclusions In patients presenting with TTS, AF on admission is significantly associated with increased in‐hospital and long‐term mortality rates. Whether antiarrhythmics and/or cardioversion are beneficial in TTS with AF should thus be tested in a future trial. Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT01947621.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have led to a paradigm change in the management of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Prospective trials have focused on ICI treatment in the first or second line. The aim of this analysis is to evaluate the benefit of ICI across different treatment lines. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a single-center retrospective study that included mRCC patients who received ICIs in various treatment lines. Objective response rates (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. RESULTS Ninety-four patients were eligible for full evaluation. Patients were classified as International mRCC Database Consortium (IMDC) risk group categorization as good, intermediate and poor risk in 26.8%, 61.6% and 14.8% of cases, respectively. They were treated with ICI monotherapy, dual ICI therapy and ICI + tyrosine kinase inhibitor in 59%, 20% and 21% of cases, respectively. ORR, median PFS and OS for the entire cohort was 39.4%, 9.67 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 6.9-12.4 months] and 23.6 months (95% CI 13.3-33.9 months), respectively. The ORR by treatment line was 33% in first, 40.4% in the second, 35% in the third and 43.5% in the fourth line and beyond. Median PFS by treatment line was 8.6, 10.3, 7.9 and 7.23 months, respectively. The median OS was not reached in first-line treatment and was 26.2, 18.1 and 20.7 months in the second, third and fourth line and beyond, respectively. CONCLUSIONS ICIs or ICI combinations are active in all treatment lines and should also be offered in heavily pretreated patients. Patient selection based on tumor and patient factors allows for maximal benefit from ICI-based therapies.

Abstract
AIMS Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute heart failure syndrome, which shares many features with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although TTS was initially described with angiographically normal coronary arteries, smaller studies recently indicated a potential coexistence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in TTS patients. This study aimed to determine the coexistence, features, and prognostic role of CAD in a large cohort of patients with TTS. METHODS AND RESULTS Coronary anatomy and CAD were studied in patients diagnosed with TTS. Inclusion criteria were compliance with the International Takotsubo Diagnostic Criteria for TTS, and availability of original coronary angiographies with ventriculography performed during the acute phase. Exclusion criteria were missing views, poor quality of angiography loops, and angiography without ventriculography. A total of 1016 TTS patients were studied. Of those, 23.0% had obstructive CAD, 41.2% had non-obstructive CAD, and 35.7% had angiographically normal coronary arteries. A total of 47 patients (4.6%) underwent percutaneous coronary intervention, and 3 patients had acute and 8 had chronic coronary artery occlusion concomitant with TTS, respectively. The presence of CAD was associated with increased incidence of shock, ventilation, and death from any cause. After adjusting for confounders, the presence of obstructive CAD was associated with mortality at 30 days. Takotsubo syndrome patients with obstructive CAD were at comparable risk for shock and death and nearly at twice the risk for ventilation compared to an age- and sex-matched ACS cohort. CONCLUSIONS Coronary artery disease frequently coexists in TTS patients, presents with the whole spectrum of coronary pathology including acute coronary occlusion, and is associated with adverse outcome. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT01947621.

Abstract
Many biomarkers that could be used to assess ejection fraction, heart failure, or myocardial infarction fail to translate into clinical practice because they lack essential performance characteristics or fail to meet regulatory standards for approval. Despite their potential, new technologies have added to the complexities of successful translation into clinical practice. Biomarker discovery and implementation require a standardized approach that includes: identification of a clinical need; identification of a valid surrogate biomarker; stepwise assay refinement, demonstration of superiority over current standard-of-care; development and understanding of a clinical pathway; and demonstration of real-world performance. Successful biomarkers should improve efficacy or safety of treatment, while being practical at a realistic cost. Everyone involved in cardiovascular healthcare, including researchers, clinicians, and industry partners, are important stakeholders in facilitating the development and implementation of biomarkers. This article provides suggestions for a development pathway for new biomarkers, discusses regulatory issues and challenges, and suggestions for accelerating the pathway to improve patient outcomes. Real-life examples of successful biomarkers-high-sensitivity cardiac troponin, T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, and echocardiography-are used to illustrate the value of a standardized development pathway in the translation of concepts into routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism is prevalent in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Through systematic review and meta-analysis, we have investigated the differences in clinical characteristics and outcome of hospitalized COVID-19 patients with (+) and without (-) venous thromboembolism (VTE). 45 studies with a total of 8859 patients were included in the qualitative synthesis. Subsequently, 38 studies with a total of 7847 patients, were quantitatively analyzed. There was no mortality difference between the VTE (-) and VTE (+) hospitalized COVID-19 patients (RR1.32 (0.97, 1.79); 0.07; I2 64%, p < 0.001). Patients with VTE (+) were more likely to get admitted to the intensive care unit (RR1.77 (1.26, 2.50); p < 0.001; I2 63%, p = 0.03) and mechanically ventilated (RR 2.35 (1.22, 4.53); p = 0.01; I2 88%, p < 0.001). Moreover, male gender (RR 1.19 (1.14,1.24), p < 0.001; I2 0%, p = 0.68), increased the risk of VTE. Regarding patients lab values', VTE (+) was significantly associated with higher white blood cell, neutrophil count, D-Dimer, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and C-reactive protein (CRP), along with prolonged prothrombin time. On the contrary, VTE (+) was associated with lower albumin and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). This findings provide the initial framework for risk stratification of hospitalized COVID-19 patients with VTE.

Abstract
AIMS Acute pulmonary disorders are known physical triggers of takotsubo syndrome (TTS). This study aimed to investigate prevalence of acute pulmonary triggers in patients with TTS and their impact on outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with TTS were enrolled from the International Takotsubo Registry and screened for triggering factors and comorbidities. Patients were categorized into three groups (acute pulmonary trigger, chronic lung disease, and no lung disease) to compare clinical characteristics and outcomes. Of the 1670 included patients with TTS, 123 (7%) were identified with an acute pulmonary trigger, and 194 (12%) had a known history of chronic lung disease. The incidence of cardiogenic shock was highest in patients with an acute pulmonary trigger compared with those with chronic lung disease or without lung disease (17% vs. 10% vs. 9%, P = 0.017). In-hospital mortality was also higher in patients with an acute pulmonary trigger than in the other two groups, although not significantly (5.7% vs. 1.5% vs. 4.2%, P = 0.13). Survival analysis demonstrated that patients with an acute pulmonary trigger had the worst long-term outcome (P = 0.002). The presence of an acute pulmonary trigger was independently associated with worse long-term mortality (hazard ratio 2.12, 95% confidence interval 1.33-3.38; P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrates that TTS is related to acute pulmonary triggers in 7% of all TTS patients, which accounts for 21% of patients with physical triggers. The presence of acute pulmonary trigger is associated with a severe in-hospital course and a worse long-term outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) occurs predominantly in post-menopausal women but is also found in younger patients. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate age-related differences in TTS. METHODS Patients diagnosed with TTS and enrolled in the International Takotsubo Registry between January 2011 and February 2017 were included in this analysis and were stratified by age (younger: ≤50 years, middle-age: 51 to 74 years, elderly: ≥75 years). Baseline characteristics, hospital course, as well as short- and long-term mortality were compared among groups. RESULTS Of 2,098 TTS patients, 242 (11.5%) patients were ≤50 years of age, 1,194 (56.9%) were 51 to 74 years of age, and 662 (31.6%) were ≥75 years of age. Younger patients were more often men (12.4% vs. 10.9% vs. 6.3%; p = 0.002) and had an increased prevalence of acute neurological (16.3% vs. 8.4% vs. 8.8%; p = 0.001) or psychiatric disorders (14.1% vs. 10.3% vs. 5.6%; p < 0.001) compared with middle-aged and elderly TTS patients. Furthermore, younger patients had more often cardiogenic shock (15.3% vs. 9.1% vs. 8.1%; p = 0.004) and had a numerically higher in-hospital mortality (6.6% vs. 3.6% vs. 5.1%; p = 0.07). At multivariable analysis, younger (odds ratio: 1.60; 95% confidence interval: 0.86 to 3.01; p = 0.14) and older age (odds ratio: 1.09; 95% confidence interval: 0.66 to 1.80; p = 0.75) were not independently associated with in-hospital mortality using the middle-aged group as a reference. There were no differences in 60-day mortality rates among groups. CONCLUSIONS A substantial proportion of TTS patients are younger than 50 years of age. TTS is associated with severe complications requiring intensive care, particularly in younger patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Several left atrial appendage (LAA) closure systems are available and due to differences in device design safety and efficacy of specific occluders derived from trials cannot be simply generalized to all devices.
Purpose
The present analysis sought to assess two contemporary LAA closure devices in clinical practice.
Methods
The present work represents a non-randomized sub-analysis of the prospective, multicenter, Left-Atrium-Appendage Occluder Register - GErmany (LAARGE) registry. The WATCHMAN (group 1) and the Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (ACP) or Amulet occluder (group 2) were assessed regarding technical success and procedural safety.
Results
A total of 641 patients at 38 centers were enrolled. Of them, 278 (43%) and 340 (53%) patients received the WATCHMAN and ACP/Amulet occluder, respectively. High technical success was achieved with a slight difference between the groups (96% in group 1 vs. 99% in group 2; p=0.007). Procedural safety did not differ (98% in group 1 vs. 97% in group 2; p=0.55). Chicken wing morphology of the LAA seemed to trigger the use of the ACP/Amulet (chicken wing in 36% of the cases in group 1 vs. 55% in group 2; p<0.001). The Kaplan Meier estimated 1-year composite of death or stroke was 12.0% and 12.9%, respectively (Figure 1A). The respective rates for the composite endpoint of death, stroke or systemic embolism were 12.0% and 13.2% (Figure 1B).
Conclusions
Both the WATCHMAN and the ACP/Amulet occluder provide excellent procedural results with comparable implantation success and no differences regarding procedural safety and long-term effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous processes are involved in the orthopedic and trauma surgery operating room (OR). Technical progress, particularly in the area of digitalization, is increasingly changing routine surgical procedures. OBJECTIVE This article highlights the possibilities and also limitations regarding this matter. MATERIAL AND METHODS Based on the current literature this article provides insights into innovations in the areas of digitalization of surgical devices, hybrid OR, machine-2-machine networking, management systems for perioperative efficiency improvement, 3D printing technology and robotics. RESULTS The technical possibilities for the use of digital applications in the surgical environment are rapidly increasing. Close cooperation with industrial partners is important in this context. Technologies from the automotive, gaming and mobile phone industries are being adopted. CONCLUSION Digital technology in the OR can improve treatment quality, patient and staff safety and cost efficiency; however, the networking of devices, implementation of innovations in existing structures and the sometimes high acquisition costs are still limiting factors.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to evaluate the frequency, clinical features, and prognostic implications of cardiac arrest (CA) in takotsubo syndrome (TTS). METHODS AND RESULTS We reviewed the records of patients with CA and known heart rhythm from the International Takotsubo Registry. The main outcomes were 60-day and 5-year mortality. In addition, predictors of mortality and predictors of CA during the acute TTS phase were assessed. Of 2098 patients, 103 patients with CA and known heart rhythm during CA were included. Compared with patients without CA, CA patients were more likely to be younger, male, and have apical TTS, atrial fibrillation (AF), neurologic comorbidities, physical triggers, and longer corrected QT-interval and lower left ventricular ejection fraction on admission. In all, 57.1% of patients with CA at admission had ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia, while 73.7% of patients with CA in the acute phase had asystole/pulseless electrical activity. Patients with CA showed higher 60-day (40.3% vs. 4.0%, P < 0.001) and 5-year mortality (68.9% vs. 16.7%, P < 0.001) than patients without CA. T-wave inversion and intracranial haemorrhage were independently associated with higher 60-day mortality after CA, whereas female gender was associated with lower 60-day mortality. In the acute phase, CA occurred less frequently in females and more frequently in patients with AF, ST-segment elevation, and higher C-reactive protein on admission. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac arrest is relatively frequent in TTS and is associated with higher short- and long-term mortality. Clinical and electrocardiographic parameters independently predicted mortality after CA.

Abstract
Aims Heart failure (HF) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), common co‐morbidities, translate into worse patient prognoses and higher direct costs than for either condition alone. Empagliflozin has been shown to markedly reduce cardiovascular (CV) deaths and HF hospitalizations (HHF) in HF patients with T2D. This study evaluated the lifetime cost‐effectiveness of supplementing standard of care (SoC) with empagliflozin, relative to SoC alone, in HF patients with T2D from the UK payer perspective. Methods and results An existing discrete‐event simulation model was adapted for the economic evaluation. Risk equations developed from time‐dependent parametric survival analyses using patient‐level HF subpopulation data from the EMPA‐REG OUTCOME trial were employed to predict CV and renal events. Non‐CV death, utility weights, and costs were drawn from UK sources. Quality‐adjusted life years (QALYs) and costs were discounted at 3.5% per annum. Relative to SoC, empagliflozin with SoC yielded fewer first HHF, recurrent HHF, CV death, and non‐fatal myocardial infarction but more non‐fatal stroke events. Empagliflozin with SoC vs. SoC alone was associated with increased average life expectancy (10.80 vs. 9.59 LYs) and quality of life (6.27 vs. 5.62 QALYs), though at higher lifetime cost (£18 197 vs. £16 829) per person, resulting in an incremental cost‐effectiveness ratio of £2093 per QALY. The probability of empagliflozin being cost‐effective in the HF subpopulation at a £20 000 per QALY willingness‐to‐pay threshold was 91%. Conclusions This analysis suggests that adding empagliflozin to SoC in HF patients with T2D constitutes a cost‐effective use of UK healthcare resources and may provide long‐term health benefits to patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Device-related thrombus (DRT) formation and incomplete left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) are the two major complications that can occur after LAAC and can potentially limit the success of such a procedure. This review discusses the incidence, clinical and/or prognostic significance, detection methods, treatment options, and potential strategies to prevent these complications. RECENT FINDINGS It has recently been proven that the presence of a DRT represents an independent predictor for ischemic stroke after LAAC. Continued need for anticoagulation due to incomplete LAAC is clinically relevant to the patient. The appearances of a DRT or an incompletely closed LAA after a LAAC procedure are not rare complications. Due to the clinical and/or prognostic significance of these complications, it is important to detect them in a timely manner during follow-up by using the appropriate diagnostic imaging techniques. Since a DRT is associated with an increased risk of stroke, the therapy should be aggressive. In the case of incomplete LAA closure, an additional closure device may be used to complete occlusion and avoid lifelong anticoagulation therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Underweight and obesity represent classical risk factors for adverse outcome in patients treated for cardiovascular disease. AIMS The current analysis examines the impact of underweight, overweight and obesity on intra-hospital, short and long-term outcomes in patients treated by MitraClip therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS From August 2010 until July 2013, 799 patients (age 75.3 ± 8.6 years, male gender 60.7%, median logistic EuroSCORE 20% [12; 31], functional mitral regurgitation (MR): 69.3%) were prospectively enrolled into the multicenter German Transcatheter Mitral Valve Interventions registry. Patients were stratified according to body mass index (BMI) into 4 groups: BMI <20 kg/m2 (underweight), BMI 20.0 to <25.0 kg/m2 (normal weight, reference group), BMI 25.0 to <30.0 kg/m2 (overweight) and BMI ≥30 kg/m2 (obese). Significant increased rates of procedural failure, transfusion/bleeding, sepsis or multiorgan failure and low cardiac output failure were found for underweight patients only. Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated inferior survival for underweight patients, but comparable outcomes for all other patients (global log rank test, P < .01). Multivariable Cox-regression analysis (adjusted for age, gender, creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dL, diabetes, left ventricular ejection fraction <30% and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) confirmed underweight (as compared to normal weight) as an independent risk factor of death (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.58, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-2.46, P = .044) and overweight as protective against death (HR: 0.71; 95%-CI: 0.55-0.93; P = .011). CONCLUSIONS Compared to other weight groups, underweight patients undergoing MitraClip implantation are exposed to increased rates of procedural failure, bleeding and low cardiac output as well as increased short- and long-term mortality rates and should therefore be carefully discussed in the heart-team.

Abstract
Anatomic reconstruction of articular fractures is one of the critical factors in later achieving good functional outcome. Intraoperative 3D imaging has been shown to offer better evaluation and therefore can significantly improve the results. The purpose of this study was to assess the difference between intraoperative three-dimensional fluoroscopy (3D) and intraoperative computed tomography (iCT) imaging regarding fracture reduction, implant placement and articular impressions in a distal humeral fracture model. AO type 13-B2 fracture pattern were created in upper extremity cadaver specimens. Articular step-offs, intra-articular screw placement and intraarticular impressions of different degrees of severity were created. All specimens had imaging performed. For each articular pattern 3D fluoroscopy in standard (3Ds) and high quality (3Dh) were performed (Arcadis Orbic, Siemens, Germany) as well as an intraoperative CT scan (iCT, Airo, Brainlab, Germany). Three observers evaluated all imaging studies regarding subjective and objective parameters. iCT is more precise than 3D fluoroscopic imaging for detection of articular impressions. Articular step-offs and intraarticular screw placement are similar for iCT and 3D. Subjective imaging quality is the highest for iCT and lowest for 3Ds. Intraoperative CT may be particularly useful in assessing articular impressions and providing a good subjective image quality for the surgeon.

Abstract
Objective:
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by acute left ventricular dysfunction, which can contribute to intraventricular thrombus and embolism. Still, prevalence and clinical impact of thrombus formation and embolic events on outcome of TTS patients remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate clinical features and outcomes of patients with and without intraventricular thrombus or embolism. Additionally, factors associated with thrombus formation or embolism, as well as predictors for mortality, were identified.
Approach and Results:
TTS patients enrolled in the International Takotsubo Registry at 28 centers in Australia, Europe, and the United States were dichotomized according to the occurrence/absence of intraventricular thrombus or embolism. Patients with intraventricular thrombus or embolism were defined as the ThrombEmb group. Of 1676 TTS patients, 56 (3.3%) patients developed intraventricular thrombus and/or embolism following TTS diagnosis (median time interval, 2.0 days [range, 0–38 days]). Patients in the ThrombEmb group had a different clinical profile including lower left ventricular ejection fraction, higher prevalence of the apical type, elevated levels of troponin and inflammatory markers, and higher prevalence of vascular disease. In a Firth bias-reduced penalized-likelihood logistic regression model apical type, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤30%, previous vascular disease, and a white blood cell count on admission >10×10
3
cells/μL emerged as independent predictors for thrombus formation or embolism.
Conclusions:
Intraventricular thrombus or embolism occur in 3.3% of patients in the acute phase of TTS. A simple risk score including clinical parameters associated with intraventricular thrombus formation or embolism identifies patients at increased risk.

Abstract
Background Left ventricular (LV) recovery in takotsubo syndrome (TTS) occurs over a wide‐ranging interval, varying from hours to weeks. We sought to investigate the clinical predictors and prognostic impact of recovery time for TTS patients. Methods and Results TTS patients from the International Takotsubo Registry were included in this study. Cut‐off for early LV recovery was determined to be 10 days after the acute event. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with the absence of early recovery. In‐hospital outcomes and 1‐year mortality were compared for patients with versus without early recovery. We analyzed 406 patients with comprehensive and serial imaging data regarding time to recovery. Of these, 191 (47.0%) had early LV recovery and 215 (53.0%) demonstrated late LV improvement. Patients without early recovery were more often male (12.6% versus 5.2%; P=0.011) and presented more frequently with typical TTS (76.3% versus 67.0%, P=0.040). Cardiac and inflammatory markers were higher in patients without early recovery than in those with early recovery. Patients without early recovery showed unfavorable 1‐year outcome compared with patients with early recovery (P=0.003). On multiple logistic regression, male sex, LV ejection fraction <45%, and acute neurologic disorders were associated with the absence of early recovery. Conclusions TTS patients without early LV recovery have different clinical characteristics and less favorable 1‐year outcome compared with patients with early recovery. The factors associated with the absence of early recovery included male sex, reduced LV ejection fraction, and acute neurologic events. Clinical Trial Registration URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01947621.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Underweight and obesity represent classical risk factors for patients undergoing cardiac surgery or interventional treatment. The multicentre German Transcatheter Mitral Valve Interventions (TRAMI) registry comprises a large and prospectively enrolled real-world cohort of patients treated by MitraClip implantation.
Aims
The current analysis examines the impact of underweight, overweight and obesity on intra-hospital, short and long-term outcomes in patients treated by MitraClip therapy.
Methods and results
From 08/2010 until 07/2013, 799 patients (age 75.3±8.6 years, male gender 60.7%, median logistic EuroSCORE 20% [12; 31], functional mitral regurgitation (MR): 69.3%) were prospectively enrolled into the multicentre, industry-independent German Transcatheter Mitral Valve Interventions registry. Patients were stratified according to body mass index (BMI) into four groups: BMI<20 kg/m2 (underweight, n=49), BMI 20.0 to <25.0 kg/m2 (normal weight, n=293), BMI 25.0 to <30.0 kg/m2 (overweight, n=296) and BMI≥30 kg/m2 (obese, n=132). Procedure and radiation time were comparable among all groups. Significant increased rates of procedural failure (12.2% vs. 2.1 [normal weight], p<0.001), transfusion/bleeding (20.8% vs. normal weight: 5.6%, obesity: 7.0%, p<0.01), sepsis or multiorgan failure and low cardiac output failure were found for underweight patients only. Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated inferior survival for underweight patients, but comparable outcomes for all other patients (global log rank test, p<0.01). Multivariable Cox-regression analysis (adjusted for age, gender, creatinine≥1.5mg/dl, diabetes, left ventricular ejection fraction<30% and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) confirmed underweight (as compared to normal weight) as an independent risk factor of death (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.58, 95%-confidence interval (CI): 1.01–2.46, p=0.044) and overweight as protective against death (HR: 0.71; 95%-CI: 0.55–0.93; p=0.011).
Conclusion
Underweight patients are exposed to increased rates of procedural failure, bleeding and low cardiac output as well as increased short- and long-term mortality rates when undergoing MitraClip implantation and should therefore be carefully discussed within the heart team.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prognosis of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) remains controversial due to scarcity of available data. Additionally, the effect of the triggering factors remains elusive. OBJECTIVES This study compared prognosis between TTS and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients and investigated short- and long-term outcomes in TTS based on different triggers. METHODS Patients with TTS were enrolled from the International Takotsubo Registry. Long-term mortality of patients with TTS was compared to an age- and sex-matched cohort of patients with ACS. In addition, short- and long-term outcomes were compared between different groups according to triggering conditions. RESULTS Overall, TTS patients had a comparable long-term mortality risk with ACS patients. Of 1,613 TTS patients, an emotional trigger was detected in 485 patients (30%). Of 630 patients (39%) related to physical triggers, 98 patients (6%) had acute neurologic disorders, while in the other 532 patients (33%), physical activities, medical conditions, or procedures were the triggering conditions. The remaining 498 patients (31%) had no identifiable trigger. TTS patients related to physical stress showed higher mortality rates than ACS patients during long-term follow-up, whereas patients related to emotional stress had better outcomes compared with ACS patients. CONCLUSIONS Overall, TTS patients had long-term outcomes comparable to age- and sex-matched ACS patients. Also, we demonstrated that TTS can either be benign or a life-threating condition depending on the inciting stress factor. We propose a new classification based on triggers, which can serve as a clinical tool to predict short- and long-term outcomes of TTS.

Abstract
Background Clinical characteristics and outcomes of takotsubo syndrome (TTS) patients with malignancy have not been fully elucidated. This study sought to explore differences in clinical characteristics and to investigate short- and long-term outcomes in TTS patients with or without malignancy. Methods and Results TTS patients were enrolled from the International Takotsubo Registry. The TTS cohort was divided into patients with and without malignancy to investigate differences in clinical characteristics and to assess short- and long-term mortality. A subanalysis was performed comparing long-term mortality between a subset of TTS patients with or without malignancy and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with or without malignancy. Malignancy was observed in 16.6% of 1604 TTS patients. Patients with malignancy were older and more likely to have physical triggers, but less likely to have emotional triggers compared with those without malignancy. Long-term mortality was higher in patients with malignancy (P<0.001), while short-term outcome was comparable (P=0.17). In a subanalysis, long-term mortality was comparable between TTS patients with malignancies and ACS patients with malignancies (P=0.13). Malignancy emerged as an independent predictor of long-term mortality. Conclusions A substantial number of TTS patients show an association with malignancy. History of malignancy might increase the risk for TTS, and therefore, appropriate screening for malignancy should be considered in these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Stable pronator quadratus repair following volar plate fixation of distal radius fractures with complete plate coverage is difficult. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study compares a modified pronator quadratus repair technique involving the brachioradialis muscle insertion (test group) with a conventional radial incision through the muscle without pronator quadratus repair (standard group). This prospective randomised study included 16 patients in the test group and 12 in the standard group; all were available for clinical, radiographic and ultrasound examination at a mean follow-up of 15 months. RESULTS Pronator quadratus repair was feasible in all test group patients, and complete coverage of the distal plate was achieved in 11. No differences in functional outcome were observed between the groups. CONCLUSION Pronator quadratus repair with a part of the brachioradialis muscle insertion is a reliable technique for coverage of a volar plate by slight distal transposition. In the repair of distal radius fractures, this may better protect the finger flexor tendons against irritation and/or rupture. That likelihood should now be studied.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the basivertebral nerve (BVN) for the treatment of chronic low back pain (CLBP) in a Food and Drug Administration approved Investigational Device Exemption trial. The BVN has been shown to innervate endplate nociceptors which are thought to be a source of CLBP. METHODS A total of 225 patients diagnosed with CLBP were randomized to either a sham (78 patients) or treatment (147 patients) intervention. The mean age within the study was 47 years (range 25-69) and the mean baseline ODI was 42. All patients had Type I or Type II Modic changes of the treated vertebral bodies. Patients were evaluated preoperatively, and at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. The primary endpoint was the comparative change in ODI from baseline to 3 months. RESULTS At 3 months, the average ODI in the treatment arm decreased 20.5 points, as compared to a 15.2 point decrease in the sham arm (p = 0.019, per-protocol population). A responder analysis based on ODI decrease ≥ 10 points showed that 75.6% of patients in the treatment arm as compared to 55.3% in the sham control arm exhibited a clinically meaningful improvement at 3 months. CONCLUSION Patients treated with RF ablation of the BVN for CLBP exhibited significantly greater improvement in ODI at 3 months and a higher responder rate than sham treated controls. BVN ablation represents a potential minimally invasive treatment for the relief of chronic low back pain. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.

Abstract
PURPOSE A new software application can be used without fixed reference markers or a registration process in wire placement. The aim was to compare placement of Kirschner wires (K-wires) into the proximal femur with the software application versus the conventional method without guiding. As study hypothesis, we assumed less placement attempts, shorter procedure time and shorter fluoroscopy time using the software. The same precision inside a proximal femur bone model using the software application was premised. METHODS The software detects a K-wire within the 2D fluoroscopic image. By evaluating its direction and tip location, it superimposes a trajectory on the image, visualizing the intended direction of the K-wire. The K-wire was positioned in 20 artificial bones with the use of software by one surgeon; 20 bones served as conventional controls. A brass thumb tack was placed into the femoral head and its tip targeted with the wire. Number of placement attempts, duration of the procedure, duration of fluoroscopy time and distance to the target in a postoperative 3D scan were recorded. RESULTS Compared with the conventional method, use of the application showed fewer attempts for optimal wire placement (p=0.026), shorter duration of surgery (p=0.004), shorter fluoroscopy time (p=0.024) and higher precision (p=0.018). Final wire position was achieved in the first attempt in 17 out of 20 cases with the software and in 9 out of 20 cases with the conventional method. CONCLUSIONS The study hypothesis was confirmed. The new application optimised the process of K-wire placement in the proximal femur in an artificial bone model while also improving precision. Benefits lie especially in the reduction of placement attempts and reduction of fluoroscopy time under the aspect of radiation protection. The software runs on a conventional image intensifier and can therefore be easily integrated into the daily surgical routine.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of the present study was to assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous mitral valve repair using the MitraClip™ device in patients with severely reduced systolic left ventricular (LV) function. METHODS AND RESULTS Among 777 MitraClip™ implantations included in the German mitral valve registry, we identified 256 patients suffering from severely reduced LV function [ejection fraction (EF) <30%] in whom successful percutaneous mitral valve repair was performed. Procedural safety, efficacy, and 1-year outcome was compared with 241 patients with preserved LV function (EF >50%) and 280 patients presenting with an EF 30-50% prior to MitraClip™ therapy. High procedural success rates, low periprocedural complication rates, and low residual mitral regurgitation grades at discharge were achieved throughout all groups. In-hospital mortality was low and comparable in all groups. After 1 year, mortality rates were 24.2% (EF <30%), 17.3% (EF 30-50%), and 18.9% (EF >50%). Major adverse cardiac or cardiovascular event rates were 29.7% (EF <30%), 24.4% (EF 30-50%), and 23.5% (EF >50%). Procedural failure was the main predictor for mortality in EF <30% patients (hazard ratio 10.38; 95% CI 3.71-29.02). Improved clinical symptoms were observed in the majority of patients in all groups. Thus, 69.5% of EF <30% patients improved by one or more New York Heart Association functional class. Compared with patients with preserved LV function, this is a significantly larger proportion (EF >50%: 56.8%; P < 0.05). Moreover, quality of life, being very poor at baseline, improved distinctively in severe heart failure patients. CONCLUSION In patients with severely reduced systolic LV function undergoing MitraClip™ therapy, procedural safety, efficacy, and clinical improvement after 1 year are comparable to patients with preserved LV function.

Abstract
Accidents in which a person is run over are often associated with multiple serious injuries. Immediate bleeding control is crucial. Pressure and shear stress at the borders of subcutaneous tissue to the muscle fascia can cause hypoperfusion and the emergence of blood-filled cavities that are associated with a high risk of infection and necrosis, a so-called Morel-Lavallée lesion. Insufficient therapy can lead to local complications and furthermore to live-threatening sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the operative treatment of Dupuytren's disease, in certain cases proximal interphalangeal joint flexion contracture remains after fasciectomy due to shrinkage, shortening, and/or adhesion of the periarticular structures. OBJECTIVES How can a residual flexion contracture of the proximal interphalangeal joint after partial fasciectomy in Dupuytren's disease be treated surgically and what follow-up results can be expected? METHODS Description of anatomy, indication, surgical technique of arthrolysis of the proximal interphalangeal joint, postoperative treatment, and critical analysis of the results reported in the literature. RESULTS Arthrolysis of the proximal interphalangeal joint is performed in up to six consecutive steps. An improvement of only about 50% compared to preoperative flexion contracture can be expected. CONCLUSIONS Despite alleged unsatisfactory results arthrolysis of the proximal interphalangeal joint can be recommended in surgery of Dupuytren's disease. In certain cases, patient cooperation during lengthy postoperative treatment is necessary.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Digital pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis requires fast, aggressive treatment. Although this infection occurs frequently, treatment consensus is lacking. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2011 and 2015, 22 patients with acute pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis were treated with a single open debridement followed by irrigation; the incision was closed and a 10-day antibiotic course was administered. The average incision-to-suture time was 25 min, and the average hospital stay was 4 days. Recovery was uncomplicated for 20 patients, while two were reoperated, one due to germ resistance and the other due to necrotizing fasciitis. At an average of 30 month postoperatively, 21 of the 22 patients were available for follow-up. The affected finger was inspected, and sensibility, range of motion, and grip force were compared with the opposite side, and the DASH score was determined. Each patient documented pain in the affected finger at rest and during activity, and rated overall satisfaction with the treatment on a visual analogue scale. RESULTS Almost all patients were free of pain at follow-up and very satisfied. Compared to the contralateral side, each of the affected fingers had the same range of motion and sensibility. Grip force was similar on both sides. The average DASH score was 35 points. CONCLUSION A single open debridement with irrigation and primary wound closure followed by 10 days of antibiotic treatment resolved uncomplicated pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis. After 2 and a half years, the treatment yielded high patient satisfaction with neither functional nor subjective impairment of the affected finger.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Arthrodesis of the proximal interphalangeal joint of fingers in a functional and pain-free position. INDICATIONS Primary and secondary osteoarthritis, traumatic joint destruction, posttraumatic malposition, instability, joint destruction due to infection, irreparable extensor and/or flexor tendon lesion, recurrent flexion deformity in Dupuytren's disease, arthritis (e. g., rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis), failed resection arthroplasty, failed prosthesis, congenital disorder (e. g., camptodactyly). CONTRAINDICATIONS Persistent joint infection. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE Resection of the proximal phalanx head and the middle phalanx base, arthrodesis with figure-of-eight tension band wire in a functional position. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT Plaster of Paris cast with arthrodesis position of the affected finger and intrinsic plus position of at least one adjacent finger for 2 weeks, custom-made finger splint for 4 weeks. RESULTS A total of 15 of 16 patients with an arthrodesis of the proximal interphalangeal finger joint of the dominant hand by tension band wire were followed up after an average of 31 months. None was affected by the arthrodesis in everyday live. All patients were very satisfied with the result. Nine of 15 patients were free of pain both at rest and with activity. The average DASH score was 48 points. Grip strength averaged 29 kg, 7 % stronger than the contralateral hand.
