Catheter-directed thrombolysis for in situ pulmonary artery thrombosis in children
In situ pulmonary artery thrombosis (ISPAT) is a unique form of pulmonary embolism characterized by local formation of thrombus in the pulmonary arteries. We present here a baby with hypoplastic left heart syndrome who developed ISPAT after Glenn surgery.

Management considerations of massive hemoptysis while on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) is a life-saving procedure in patients with both respiratory and cardiac failure. Bleeding complications are common since patients must be maintained on anticoagulation.

Non-invasive assessment by B-mode ultrasound of arterial pulse wave intensity and its modification during ventricular dysfunction [PDF]
Arterial pulse waves contain clinically useful information: their intensity varies with cardiac performance, their speed (pulse wave velocity; PWV) depends on arterial stiffness and their reflection is affected by conduit artery tone. Here we demonstrate a novel method for non-invasively assessing wave properties.

Nonparametric Bayesian Instrumental Variable Analysis: Evaluating Heterogeneous Effects of Coronary Arterial Access Site Strategies [PDF]
Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are nonsurgical procedures to open blocked blood vessels to the heart, frequently using a catheter to place a stent. The catheter can be inserted into the blood vessels using an artery in the groin or an artery in the wrist.

Total anomalous pulmonary vein drainage in a 60-year-old woman diagnosed in an ECG-gated multidetector computed tomography : a case report and review of literature [PDF]
Purpose: Total anomalous pulmonary vein drainage (TAPVD) is a congenital cardiac defect in which there is no connection between pulmonary veins and the left atrium.

Unusual venous route of pulmonary artery catheter in a liver transplant recipient: pericardiophrenic or highest intercostal vein?: a case report [PDF]
We report an extraordinary case in which the venous route for pulmonary artery catheterization was unusual. A 41 year-old woman with an end-stage liver disease underwent a living-donor liver transplantation.

The misadventure of a dialysis catheter into the right pulmonary artery and left atrium
Permanent catheters are widely used in haemodialysis of chronic kidney disease. Placement of these catheters is usually through the internal jugular vein or subclavian vein.

A misplaced and entrapped pulmonary artery catheter [PDF]
In 1970, Swan et al. [1] reported that a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure could be obtained by cardiac catheterization without the aid of fluoroscopy. Since then, the Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheter has been widely used to monitor hemodynamic changes and cardiac output in critically ill patients.

Topology Repairing of Disconnected Pulmonary Airways and Vessels: Baselines and a Dataset [PDF]
Accurate segmentation of pulmonary airways and vessels is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases. However, current deep learning approaches suffer from disconnectivity issues that hinder their clinical usefulness. To address this challenge, we propose a post-processing approach that leverages a data-driven method to repair the ...
