ECMO management for severe pulmonary embolism with concurrent cerebral hemorrhage: a case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundAcute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a common and potentially fatal cardiovascular disease that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest in severe cases. During the treatment, the patient received two sessions of external cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) as supportive care and experienced cerebral hemorrhage.

Current status of ECMO for massive pulmonary embolism

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Massive pulmonary embolism (MPE) carries significant 30-day mortality and is characterized by acute right ventricular failure, hypotension, and hypoxia, leading to cardiovascular collapse and cardiac arrest. Considerable heterogeneity in studies is a significant weakness of the available literature.

Abstract 172: Outcomes and Complications of Stent?Assisted Aneurysm Repair in Acute Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionThe use of detachable coils for endovascular embolization of cerebral aneurysms has become a safe and effective alternative to direct surgical clipping in patients with ruptured aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Abstract 111: Woven Endo Bridge?Coil Embolization of a Middle Cerebral Artery Bifurcation Aneurysm with Secondary Lobule

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) is an ellipsoid embolization device designed to provide intrasaccular flow disruption along the aneurysm neck, which has been proven to be an effective method in treating a wide spectrum of wide‐necked bifurcation aneurysms. Embolization was performed with a WEB SL 6 x 4 mm device (Figure 1: C,D ‐blue arrow).

Abstract 088: Treatment of a Ruptured AVM with Inflow Aneurysms: Mixed approach using coil and liquid embolization

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Cerebral AVMs may manifest with new‐onset seizures or intraparenchymal (IPH) or subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH). The inflow aneurysms were accessed and embolized with coils using a second microcatheter prior to AVM embolization. Embolization of three posterior feeding pedicles was subsequently performed utilizing dilute NBCA.

Abstract 101: Ophthalmic Artery Aneurysm Embolization Resulting in Resolution of Headaches and Visual Symptoms

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Rarely, thrombus formation within an aneurysm can lead to symptoms via distal embolization and infarction. Brain and orbits MRI with contrast showed no acute abnormalities, including no evidence of infarction or intracranial hemorrhage.

Abstract 42: Validation of a New Plaque-RADS Classification System to a Cohort of Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source Patients

Stroke Journal

Introduction:A new Plaque-RADS classification (I-IV) is proposed to categorize the degree of carotid plaque instability and risk of embolic ischemic stroke. A semiautomated segmentation software measured intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) volumes.
