Large-bore mechanical thrombectomy yields better outcomes for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

OCTOBER 30, 2024

Findings from the first international randomized controlled trial to compare patient outcomes following treatment with large-bore mechanical thrombectomy (LBMT) versus catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) show that LBMT is superior with respect to the hierarchically-tested aggregated outcome of all-cause (..)

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

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

MAY 12, 2024

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.

Addressing the serious issue of delayed and missed findings in diagnostic imaging, CINA-iPE is an AI-powered tool that detects incidental pulmonary embolism during routine CT scans. This is particularly relevant in the cancer patient population, where pulmonary embolism is a significant cause of mortality.

The receiving staff suspects pulmonary embolism due to S1Q3T3 on the ECG and administers TPA. The patient did have massive pulmonary emboli, but he also had profound intraventricular and subarachnoid hemorrhages. On ED arrival ROSC is achieved. The patient was ultimately discharged with a poor neurologic outcome.

Low LV filling pressures are due to several etiologies, most commonly due to volume depletion (dehydration or hemorrhage), but also due to other etiologies including, but not limited to: mitral stenosis, pulmonary hypertension (chronic, or due to pulmonary embolism), or poor RV performance.
