Three-Dimensional Echocardiographic Approach to Mitral Valve After Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair

Authors: Kumar R et al. Source: Anesthesia & Analgesia, 142(1):85–92, January 2026, This retrospective study evaluates a three-dimensional echocardiographic method for assessing mitral valve area (MVA) after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), addressing a persistent challenge in intraprocedural imaging. Iatrogenic mitral stenosis is a recognized risk following TEER, particularly when multiple clips are required, but accurately […]

Presynaptic Neurotransmission: A Bottleneck to Recovery From General Anesthesia?

Authors: Qiu G et al. Anesthesiology, January 26, 2026, 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005953 SummaryThis mechanistic review and experimental synthesis explores whether impaired presynaptic neurotransmission represents a critical bottleneck to recovery from general anesthesia (GA), particularly with agents such as propofol and dexmedetomidine. While much of anesthetic pharmacology has historically focused on postsynaptic receptor modulation, growing evidence suggests that […]

Impact of implementing a thromboelastometry-guided transfusion strategy on fibrinogen supplementation and transfusion in women with postpartum hemorrhage

Authors: Zheng A et al. Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, 2025 SummaryThis retrospective study examined whether implementing a thromboelastometry-guided coagulopathy management protocol altered fibrinogen supplementation and blood product transfusion practices in women with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Given that coagulopathy is a major driver of maternal morbidity in PPH, the authors focused on whether point-of-care viscoelastic testing […]
