AngioJet thrombectomy with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for an acute large-scale pulmonary embolism with bilateral atrial thrombosis: a case report of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Notably, acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE) with bilateral atrial thrombosis is an exceptional occurrence in CAPS. Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common cardiovascular disease that progresses rapidly and has a high mortality rate. It primarily affects small vessels, seldom impacting large vessels.

Prospective Multicenter International Registry of Ultrasound-Facilitated Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis in Intermediate-High and High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism (KNOCOUT PE)

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:Prior clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of ultrasound-facilitated catheter-directed thrombolysis (USCDT) for the treatment of acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) using reduced thrombolytic doses and shorter infusion durations.

Case Report: Can preoperative implantation of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation lead to embolic events in infective endocarditis?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Common embolism sites include the brain, spleen, kidneys, lungs, and intestines. Additionally, acute heart failure (AHF) can occur in up to 40% of cases, and its presence can impact the clinical outcomes of patients with IE. Cardiogenic shock (CGS) is often more likely to occur after AHF has taken place.

Abstract 4141755: New internet-based warfarin anticoagulation management approach after mechanical heart valve replacement: prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial

Circulation

However, it subjects patients to lifelong warfarin therapy after MHVR, with the attendant risk of bleeding and thrombosis. The percentage of time in the therapeutic range (TTR) was used as the primary outcome while bleeding, thrombosis, and other events were the secondary outcomes.Results:A total of 721 patients were enrolled.

Abstract 169: Antiplatelet regimens after pseudoaneurysm embolization with phosphorylcholine coated flow diverters: a series of 180 cases

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

3 The third‐generation iteration of the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) incorporates Shield technology, a phosphorylcholine coating designed to reduce thrombogenicity via mimicry of native cell membranes.4 IntroductionIndications for flow diversion for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms have increased remarkably in recent years.1
