Three of the most popular cardiovascular technologies to make the top news in June 2020. Top is the Impella Expandable Cardiac Pump (ECP) that is about to enter U.S. feasibility trials.Bottom left, the Foldax heart valve uses a flexible man-made material for valve leaflets rather than animal pericardium tissue. The hope is this new type of surgical and transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR) device will enhance longevity of the valve leaflets. Bottom right, the SMT Hydra TAVR valve is the first Indian-made structural heart devices to gain European CE mark approval.

Thoracic findings in a 15-year-old girl with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). (a) Chest radiograph on admission shows mild perihilar bronchial wall cuffing. (b) Chest radiograph on the third day of admission demonstrates extensive airspace opacification with a mid and lower zone predominance. (c, d) Contrast-enhanced axial CT chest of the thorax at day 3 shows areas of ground-glass opacification (GGO) and dense airspace consolidation with air bronchograms. (c) This conformed to a mosaic pattern with a bronchocentric distribution to the GGO (white arrow, d) involving both central and peripheral lung parenchyma with pleural effusions (black small arrow, d). image courtesy of Radiological Society of North America
