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

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundBehcet's disease (BD) is a systematic vasculitis that affects vessels with various sizes, presenting as venous thrombosis and arterial pseudoaneurysms.

Abelacimab Stops Bleeding, But Stroke Impact Uncertain

CardiacWire

By inhibiting Factor XI (an anticoagulation enzyme), drugs like abelacimab potentially prevent thrombosis without increasing spontaneous bleeding risks. Unfortunately, DOACs often cause gastrointestinal bleeding, which prompted the development of new stroke-prevention methods like Factor XI inhibition. year follow-up.

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.

Chronic IVC occlusion caused by unopened filter after conversion: case report and literature review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundThe VenaTech Convertible Vena Cava Filter (VTCF) is a device designed for insertion into the inferior vena cava (IVC) to prevent life-threatening pulmonary embolism (PE). For younger or thrombophilic patients, careful evaluation of the filter's suitability and extended follow-up are crucial to optimize outcomes.

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
