Estimating treatment effects with machine learning.

Health services research
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the performance of methodologies that include machine learning (ML) algorithms to estimate average treatment effects under the assumption of exogeneity (selection on observables).

Experimental validation of robot-assisted cardiovascular catheterization: model-based versus model-free control.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: In cardiac electrophysiology, a long and flexible catheter is delivered to a cardiac chamber for the treatment of arrhythmias. Although several robot-assisted platforms have been commercialized, the disorientation in tele-operation is still ...

Current status of endovascular catheter robotics.

The Journal of cardiovascular surgery
In this review, we will detail the evolution of endovascular therapy as the basis for the development of catheter-based robotics. In parallel, we will outline the evolution of robotics in the surgical space and how the convergence of technology and t...

Subclinical Hypothyroidism Is Associated With Adverse Prognosis in Heart Failure Patients.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: It is widely recognized that overt hyper- as well as hypothyroidism are potential causes of heart failure (HF). Additionally it has been recently reported that subclinical hypothyroidism (sub-hypo) is associated with atherosclerosis, deve...

Robotic Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement Using the Sapien XT in the Setting of Severe Mitral Annular Calcification.

Journal of cardiac surgery
We describe the use of the Sapien XT, placed in the mitral position using a totally endoscopic robotic approach in a 76-year-old man with extensive circumferential mitral calcifications and severe stenosis. The patient was at high risk for traditiona...

Predictive Value of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin for Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Catheterization: A Meta-analysis.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) accumulates in cortical tubules in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, with its levels associated with serum creatinine. However, the predictive value of NGAL level for contrast-induced ac...
