Management of acute ischemic stroke after pulmonary resection: incidence and efficacy of endovascular thrombus aspiration
ConclusionSince cerebral infarction impairs the patient ’s quality of life, thrombus removal should be considered if possible.

A comparison between stand-alone left atrial appendage occlusion and resection as a method of preventing cardiogenic thromboembolic stroke
ConclusionThere were no significant differences between LAAO and LAAR in terms of the feasibility and the effectiveness as a method for stroke prophylaxis only to selected patients for both procedures, although further studies including the comparison between groups with the same backgrounds to confirm the authentic differences in the clinical results between these procedures.

Systemic air embolism causing acute stroke and myocardial infarction after percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy—a case report
We reported a case with air embolism related acute ischemic stroke and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) simultaneously after percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy.

337-i * thoracoscopic left atrial appendectomy
Conclusions: This approach demonstrated feasibility, safety and effectiveness and should be considered as a possible alternative to percutaneous closure of the LAA. However, its effect on long-term prevention of stroke needs to be evaluated.

The Subclavian Intraaortic Balloon Pump: A Compelling Bridge Device for Advanced Heart Failure
Conclusions The SC-IABP provided excellent hemodynamic support with minimal morbidity and mortality, allowed for extensive rehabilitation, and permitted more than 90% of patients to receive their intended therapy. Therefore, SC-IABP is a compelling bridge device for patients with advanced congestive heart failure.

Surgical Treatment for Thrombus Straddling a Patent Foramen Ovale
We present a case of a 41-year-old female with deep vein thrombosis after abdominal surgery. The patient quickly developed severe pulmonary embolism and stroke representative of paradoxical embolism. Echocardiography showed a thrombus straddling a patent foramen ovale, which was confirmed intraoperatively. An accurate diagnosis and rapid treatment decisions are crucial for preventing patient deterioration in the form of new pulmonary embolisms or stroke.

Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for coronavirus disease 2019 patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Although COVID-19 patients may have a higher risk of bleeding, hemorrhagic stroke, and acute kidney injury during ECMO therapy, the survival rate was more than half of the cases. Our data may support the application of VV-ECMO in COVID-19 patients.PMID:35608047 | DOI:10.1177/02676591221104302

Cerebral air embolism during an aircraft flight in a passenger with an air-filled lung cavity associated with remote lung surgery
Cerebral air embolism (CAE) is a rare cause of stroke and a potentially life-threatening event. The incidence of in-flight emergencies on commercial airline flights is low. A few cases of CAE during air travel, associated with the disruption of a bronchogenic cyst, have been reported in the literature. To our knowledge, we describe the first case of severe CAE during an aircraft flight, secondary to an air pulmonary bulla that developed after lung surgery.

248 * long-term circulatory support with rotary blood pumps: is it worthwhile?
Conclusions: Patients on long-term support have an excellent haemodynamic profile and show an acceptable risk-benefit ratio. Although heart transplantation remains the ultimate target at present, our data show that long-term circulatory support is a viable option with the potential to become a more permanent solution in the long-term.

Temporary right ventricular support following left ventricle assist device implantation: a comparison of two techniques
CONCLUSIONS Temporary support of the failing RV after LVAD implantation using temporary vein and the pulmonary artery RVAD is a promising therapeutic option. This approach provides adequate LVAD pre- and afterload and is associated with significantly less thromboembolic complications.

254 * evaluation of the downstream aorta after frozen elephant trunk repair for aortic dissections in terms of diameter and false lumen status
Conclusion: Compared to conventional surgery for extensive aortic dissections, the FET technique provides a high rate of FL thrombosis of the thoracic aorta without increasing the risk of the operation.

Artificial aortic valve dysfunction due to pannus and thrombus - different methods of cardiac surgical management.
CONCLUSIONS: Precise and modern diagnostic methods facilitated selection of the treatment method. However, the intraoperative view also seems to be crucial in individualizing the surgical approach. PMID: 26702274 [PubMed]
