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 (..)

Clinical Outcomes of Percutaneous Transcatheter Release of Stuck Mechanical Mitral Valve With Cerebral Embolic Protection

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

We reported the feasibility and short-term outcomes of percutaneous transcatheter therapy with cerebral embolic protection. BACKGROUND:Surgery or fibrinolysis is the currently available evidence-based treatment for obstructive mechanical valve thrombus. The mean survival time free from death was 1101.48 (95% CI, 929.49–1273.47)

Case Report: Coil embolization of ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm in patient with Behcet's disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

After preoperative evaluation, coil embolization was successfully performed to treat the pseudoaneurysm, resulting in a satisfactory outcome at the 1-year follow-up.ConclusionCoil embolization serves as an effective treatment option for ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm in BD when open surgical repair and stent graft placement are unsuitable.
