NobleStitch PFO Closure for Recurrent Strokes in a Patient on ECMO with COVID-19
Severe hypoxemia secondary to SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) pneumonia is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality.1 Patent foramen ovales (PFOs) can exacerbate hypoxemia through an intracardiac shunt, slowing recovery and worsening outcomes.2-4 Cryptogenic stroke is a complication commonly associated with PFOs; however, current guidelines do not address PFO management in COVID-19 patients who experience recurrent paradoxical emboli, especially in the setting of COVID-19 pneumonia, increased right-sided pressures, and a hypercoagulable state.

Neurological Injury in COVID-19 Patients Who Receive VV-ECMO Therapy: A Cohort Study
Both thrombotic and bleeding events have been implicated in the progression of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).1,2 Such dysregulation of coagulation has been associated with poor prognosis.3,4 Neurologic sequelae, such as ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), have been reported in COVID-19 patients at rates of 0.9%-2.3% and 0.9%, respectively.5,6,7,8 Limited data exists on neurological events in COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Torsades de Pointes in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Infection
A 73-YEAR-OLD MAN (weight 69 kg, height 175 cm) was transferred to the authors ’ critical care unit with respiratory and acute renal failure secondary to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. His past medical history included hypertension, diabetes, and previous stroke, from which he had made a full recovery. The patient was treated with mechanical ventilation and p eritoneal dialysis. He was recruited into the hydroxychloroquine arm of the RECOVERY (Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 Therapy) trial.
