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

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

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

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.

PO-06-187 PULMONARY HEMORRHAGE DURING CRYOABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: AN UNUSUAL COMPLICATION

HeartRhythm

Cryoablation for atrial fibrillation is a widely used technique for pulmonary vein isolation. Known complications associated with cryoablation include tamponade, phrenic nerve injury, stroke, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary vein stenosis, and atrioesophageal fistulas.
