Forgetfulness as the primary presenting symptom of type A acute aortic dissection

Neurological symptoms have been linked to AAD in some patients. Although aortic dissection patients have previously been shown to present with neurological symptoms, AAD with forgetfulness as the first manifestation is extremely rare. To increase the awareness of AAD among clinicians, we report the first case of a male Chinese patient with AD presenting with forgetfulness as the initial symptom.

Surgical coronary angioplasty of both coronary ostia after chest radiotherapy. Is it good alternative to conventional coronary bypass surgery?
CONCLUSIONS: Surgical coronary angioplasty offers an alternative to conventional coronary artery bypass grafting in isolated coronary ostial lesions and is advantageous in restoring more physiological myocardial perfusion, especially in those cases when conduits are suspected to be fibrotic, scarred or stenosed after radiation therapy or if there is the need to preserve conduits for future myocardial revascularisation in young patients.PMID:38066688 | DOI:10.1177/02676591231221707 (Source: Perfusion)

Long-term venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for acute respiratory distress syndrome after COVID-19
CONCLUSION: This case indicates the feasibility of using of a long term VV-ECMO as a bridge to recovery or lung transplantation of ARDS patient after secondary to coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection with severe lung injury without circuit exchange. The optimal duration of VV-ECMO support and optimal diagnostic modalities for critical assessment of native lung recovery or irretrievable severe lung injury still require further investigation.PMID:38064197 | DOI:10.1177/02676591231221470 (Source: Perfusion)

Adding an extension piece to the end of the purge side arm of the Impella device can prevent the incidence of the cassette breaking and decrease the Impella device failure rate: Impact of practice change on patient outcome
Conclusion: The addition of extension tubing to the purge cassette of the Impella® Device did not impact patient health outcomes or the incidence of device failure. There was a complete reduction in the incidence of the purge cassette cracking, which could reduce the potential for infection or device failure over a long period of mechanical support. There is a need for long-term prospective studies to confirm the results.PMID:38060246 | DOI:10.1177/02676591231220305 (Source: Perfusion)

Balloon atrial septostomy versus left atrial cannulation for left heart decompression in children with dilated cardiomyopathy and myocarditis on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: An ELSO registry analysis
CONCLUSIONS: In children with myocarditis or DCM, there was a three times greater likelihood for mortality with LA drainage versus BAS for LA decompression. When adjusted for central cannulation groups only, there was better recovery in the LA drainage group and no difference in mortality. Further prospective evaluation is warranted.PMID:38053305 | DOI:10.1177/02676591231220816 (Source: Perfusion)
