Indications for surgical management of active right-sided endocarditis are under debate. In the presence of vegetation without valvular or surrounding tissue involvement, the mass may be removed with a suction device introduced via a transcatheter path. Herein, we report the successful removal of right-sided vegetation using the AngioVac Cannula, a percutaneous mechanical suction device, in three patients who presented with active endocarditis. The excellent midterm follow-up results highlight the effectiveness of such aspiration catheter systems.

Abstract An analysis is made of the suction holding power of a device in which a fluid flows radially outward from a central hole between two parallel circular plates. The holding power and the fluid flow rate are determined as functions of the plate separation. The effect of changing the proportions of the device is investigated. Experiments were made to check the analysis.

To the Editor.— The current recommended therapy for patients with meconium aspiration consists of extensive suctioning of the oropharynx and nasopharynx after delivery of the head, with subsequent endotracheal intubation and deep suction with the endotracheal tube as the suction catheter. The upper airway is commonly cleared with a bulb syringe and/or a Delee suction device. With both the Delee and the currently recommended endotracheal suction methods, the physician's mouth is the source of negative pressure.
