Paradoxical coronary artery embolism - A rare cause of myocardial infarction

Heart Views, 2014
Paradoxical coronary artery embolism is a rare, but often an underdiagnosed cause of acute myocardial infarction. It should be considered in patient who presents with chest pain and otherwise having a low risk profile for atherosclerosis coronary artery ...

Paradoxical carbon dioxide embolism during laparoscopic surgery without intracardiac right-to-left shunt: two case reports and a brief review of the literature

Journal of International Medical Research, 2020
We herein report two cases of paradoxical carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) embolism during laparoscopic nephrectomy and hepatic left lateral lobectomy without evidence of a right-to-left shunt or obvious rupture of blood vessels.

First evaluation of a novel pulsatile LVAD: Feasibility and haemodynamic impact in acute heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The pulsatile ventricular assist platform (pVAP) was connected to a membrane pump in six large swine models. The system, driven by a conventional intra‐aortic balloon pump console (IABP), was utilized to drain left atrial blood during systole and to eject the collected blood back into the ascending aorta during diastole.

A rare case of stroke as a complication after percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy in a patient with intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism and patent foramen ovale

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2023
We present an extremely rare case of a patient with intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism treated with percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy, complicated with stroke as a form of paradoxical embolism through a previously unknown patent foramen ovale ...

Structural design and property regulation of organic polymers for photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2

InfoScience, EarlyView.
Photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2 offers a sustainable approach. Photocatalytic efficiency depends critically on interfacial electron transfer kinetics and spatial charge separation. Herein, we systematically analyze key factors governing photogenerated carrier dynamics and propose engineered strategies to optimize performance, thereby providing design ...

A rare cause of stroke at a young age: ischemic stroke by the mechanism of paradoxical embolism in a patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia

Неврология, нейропсихиатрия, психосоматика, 2023
Clarification of the aetiology of ischemic stroke (IS) in young adults (aged between 18 and 45 years) is an extremely difficult task, as rare causes that are hardly known to neurologists are very common. One of these causes is paradoxical embolism due to

Prominent Chiari Network as a Cause of Cyanosis in Infants: A Case Report and Implications for Pediatric Cardiology Practice

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
A prominent Chiari network can cause cyanosis in infants by inducing a positional right‐to‐left atrial shunt. Accurate diagnosis enabled conservative management, delaying surgery until optimal conditions. This case emphasizes the importance of echocardiographic evaluation in differentiating cyanosis mechanisms to guide appropriate treatment in ...

Undiagnosed patent foramen ovale: a rare cause for acute pulmonary embolism and cryptogenic stroke

Asian Journal of Internal Medicine
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a congenital cardiac anomaly found in 25-30% of the population. Though often asymptomatic, it may lead to paradoxical embolism and cryptogenic stroke.

Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation can be Associated with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS)

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2019
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are rare vascular anomalies. Alternative designations are pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae or aneurysms. Although mostly asymptomatic, PAVMs can cause respiratory symptoms due to right-to-left shunt.

Paradoxical Cerebral Fat Embolism in an Adolescent PLHA: A Convergence of Trauma, ART Induced Hypercoagulability, and Septal Heart Defect

Case Reports in Clinical Practice
Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a life-threatening complication following long bone fractures, primarily affecting the pulmonary circulation. However, cerebral fat embolism (CFE) is a rare yet severe variant that can occur when fat emboli bypass the ...
