Delayed hyperbaric intervention in life-threatening decompression illness. [PDF]
Diving Hyperb Med, 2017 Arterial gas embolism is a catastrophic event. Bubbles in the arterial circulation may lodge in the brain and cause infarction in the affected area and/or in a coronary vessel causing acute myocardial ischaemia. There is no well-defined window of time beyond which a response to hyperbaric oxygen is not expected.

Recurrent Decompression Illness Even After the Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale in a Diver [PDF]
JACC: Case Reports, 2023 Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a risk factor for the development of decompression illness (DCI) and a therapeutic target for preventing the recurrence of DCI because nitrogen bubbles generated during diving can be paradoxically embolized through the PFO ...

Decompression Illness in Repetitive Breath-Hold Diving: Why Ischemic Lesions Involve the Brain? [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Nitrogen (N2) accumulation in the blood and tissues can occur due to breath-hold (BH) diving. Post-dive venous gas emboli have been documented in commercial BH divers (Ama) after repetitive dives with short surface intervals.

Hyperacute brain magnetic resonance imaging of decompression illness in a commercial breath‐hold diver [PDF]
Clinical Case Reports, 2020 Decompression illness in breath‐hold diving is a rare dysbaric disease mainly characterized by stroke‐like neurological disorders. The early use of DWI‐MRI combined with ADC map in suspected cases can help in the early diagnosis and treatment.
