Background: Early data on use of catheter-directed therapies (CDT) for treatment of Intermediate or High-Risk pulmonary embolism (PE) show improvement in pulmonary artery systolic pressures (PAsP) and RV/LV ratios. Occasionally a paradoxical rise in PAsP

Histotripsy of blood clots within a hollow cylindrical transducer for aspiration thrombectomy applications [PDF]
Thrombolytic occlusions in stroke, pulmonary embolism and the peripheral vasculature are increasingly treated with aspiration, a catheter-based approach that employs suction to extract clots through a hollow catheter lumen. Unfortunately, aspiration is frequently unsuccessful in extracting more challenging clots, which can become corked in the distal ...

Antiphosphatidylserine antibody as a cause of multiple dural venous sinus thromboses and ST-elevation myocardial infarction [PDF]
Objective: Rare disease Background: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by antibodies directed against phos-pholipids on plasma membranes. Through unclear mechanisms, APS confers hypercoagulability.

Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock: an algorithm based ECMO program can improve clinical outcomes. [PDF]
Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in our institution resulted in near total mortality prior to the establishment of an algorithm-based program in July 2010. We hypothesized that an algorithm based ECMO program improves the outcome of
