Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography in Septic Patients
Myocardial microcirculatory alterations may be involved in the pathogenesis of acute cardiac dysfunction or septic cardiomyopathy in septic patients. The investigators study the cardiac function (systolic and diastolic) with two-dimensional echocardiography (TTE), and the myocardial microcirculation with contrast echocardiography (MCE) and sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles Sonovue injection in ICU septic patients.

Full Metall Jacket Multilevel Segment
Hypothesis: "Total" endovascular revascularization of a multistory lesion of the iliac-femoral-popliteal segment is safer and a better quality of life is achieved in comparison with hybrid intervention. The lack of damage to the skin avoids complications in the postoperative and remote periods of observation, thereby improving the quality of life

Assessment of Paravalvular Leak After TAVI by Hemodynamic Measurements and Cardiac MRI
Rationale: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard therapy for elderly patients with high surgical risks. Paravalvular leakage after TAVI is relatively common and there is conflicting evidence regarding the clinical impact of mild paravalvular leakage in self-expanding devices. Prospective data for self-expanding devices are required to compare …

Brain Ultrasound With Contrast Microbubbles Injection in Shock Status
Alterations in the brain microcirculation may be involved in patients with shock. For a three-day period, we investigate the brain microcirculation using contrast-enhanced ultrasound with microbubble injection in patients with septic and non-septic shock.Ultrasound examination is performed daily to estimate global cerebral blood flow, and to evaluate the brain microcirculation, …
