In this case report, we demonstrated that thrombus aspiration and in situ thrombolysis through the Guidezilla GEC are applicable to patients with PE in whom systemic thrombolysis is contraindicated, resulting in successful reperfusion and positive clinical outcomes.
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. Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print.
Patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) have a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, from incidental findings to sudden cardiac death. Here, we propose an algorithm where the role of the Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) is reinforced. In this review, the challenges related to the identification of a CiT are highlighted.
The goal of the trial was to compare the efficacy and safety of large-bore mechanical thrombectomy (LBMT) with catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in the treatment of intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism (PE).
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 (..)
Surgical pulmonary artery thrombectomy is a well-established emergency treatment for massive pulmonary embolism (PE) in which fibrinolysis or thrombolysis are not effective. However, surgery for massive PE tha.
Introduction Multiple abnormal electrocardiographic findings have been documented in patients experiencing acute pulmonary embolism. To date, only a limited number of cases involving a complete atrioventricular block have been reported in acute pulmonary embolism. Echocardiography confirmed signs of right ventricular dysfunction.
Genetic protein S (PS) deficiency caused by PROS1 gene mutation is an important risk factor for hereditary thrombophilia.Case introductionIn this case, we report a 28-year-old male patient who developed a severe pulmonary embolism during his visit. The patient was diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism and pneumonia.
IntroductionEfficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is still debatable. Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. However, IVT's efficacy on stent retriever (SR) and aspiration thrombectomy (ASP) outcomes specifically remain unclear.
Background:The benefits of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusion remain controversial, but intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) has proven benefit across nearly all ischemic stroke types.
BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to examine the impact of early versus delayed catheter-based therapies (CBTs) on clinical outcomes in patients with acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE).METHODS:This years; 44% women; 29% catheter-directed thrombolysis; 68% mechanical thrombectomy; and 3% both).
Background:The role of advanced therapies (systemic thrombolysis, catheter-based treatment, and surgical thrombectomy) for the management of right heart thrombus is poorly defined. 0.99]) and concurrent pulmonary embolism (odds ratio, 5.36 [95% CI, 2.48–12.1]) Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print.
Previous studies have noted that ICAD-related LVOs, compared to embolic occlusions, have longer procedural times and lower successful reperfusion rates. Successful recanalization was defined as Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia score ≥2b. However, clinical outcomes remain similar.
Chronic embolic (non-lacunar) infarcts on imaging were more common among AIS-despite-AC (34.5% The pattern of the acute infarcts (numbers, embolic features) was not different. Intravenous thrombolysis was used much less commonly for AIS-despite-AC (10.5% Patients who had AIS-despite-AC were younger (76.8+11 11 vs 77.8+12,
Rates of Thrombolysis were alarming, but with an increasing tendency: 22969 were performed, from 1.6% 8290 aneurysms embolizations were performed (13.5% For the search, we utilized the CID-10 notification system from I60 until I64, including admissions, deaths, treatments and costs related to each CID-10.Results:Between were Female.
However, tPA is a more complex enzyme than expected, being for instance able to promote thrombolysis, but at the same time, also able to influence neuronal survival and to affect the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.
He underwent emergent thrombectomy for right P2 thrombus with complete reperfusion TICI 3 (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Score). Angiographic imaging demonstrated antegrade blood flow through the dissection as the source of recurrent embolic strokes. He was continued on Aspirin monotherapy.
The usefulness of JVP in a cardiac emergency like acute pulmonary embolism may appear superfluous. In these situations, the humble neck veins can assist us in the decision to thrombolysis or the need for any newer intrapulmonary Interventions under RV assist system. One such thought is described in this animation.
First pass effect (FPE) was defined as a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) score ≥ 2C after the first pass.Results:A total of 1,508 patients were included, of whom 231 (15.3%) were in the BGC group and 1,277 (84.7%) were in the Non-BGC group.
Often caused by sudden interruption of blood flow to the spinal cord due to embolic phenomena, intrinsic factors such as connective tissue disease, and due to intra/post‐operative hypotension leading to ischemia or infarction. IntroductionSpinal cord infarctions (SCI) are scarce entities, constituting only 0.3‐1%
Besides various demographic parameters, we collected final recanalization rates with first pass effect [using modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) score]. The technique involves deploying a stent retriever through microcatheter and large bore aspiration catheter like ACE 68 (Penumbra, Inc.), years, mean NIHSS 9.1).
Both of these are very suggestive of " No-Reflow ," or poor microvascular reperfusion due to downstream embolization of microscopic platelet-fibrin aggregates. Patients who received CPR or experienced reinfarction or very small infarcts due to thrombolysis also displayed Type II T-wave evolution. Methods: Vermeer et al.
Women and black patients were less frequently treated with minimally invasive therapy compared to men or non-Black patients, according to new data from the REAL-PE analysis which investigated catheter-based pulmonary embolism (PE) treatment. Late-breaking results from the study, for which Sahil A. PE affects around 900,000 people in the U.S.

The commonest causes of MINOCA include: atherosclerotic causes such as plaque rupture or erosion with spontaneous thrombolysis, and non-atherosclerotic causes such as coronary vasospasm (sometimes called variant angina or Prinzmetal's angina), coronary embolism or thrombosis, possibly microvascular dysfunction.
recently announced new data that demonstrate patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) treated with Penumbra’s computer assisted vacuum thrombectomy (CAVT) technology have a shorter length of hospital stay, shorter post-procedure length of stay and fewer complications compared to other treatment options. 5, 2024 —Penumbra, Inc.
