The Hidden Vulnerability: How Underlying SMA Stenosis Turns Routine Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Support Into Fatal Mesenteric Ischemia. [PDF]
Case Rep Crit CareIntra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) therapy is a widely used mechanical circulatory support device for patients with cardiogenic shock. Although generally safe, IABP insertion can lead to serious complications, including the rare but potentially fatal development of mesenteric ischemia. We report a 58‐year‐old female smoker who presented with ST‐elevation

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome Presenting With Recurrent Syncope After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Syncope is a manifestation of autonomic dysfunction after high spinal cord injury. However, it is rarely reported as a feature of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) after spinal cord injury. This case report describes a male in his 50s suffering from C2 spinal cord injury who developed recurrent postural syncope post‐injury ...
