Abstract Background: High‑risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life‑threatening condition necessitating hemody‑namic stabilization and rapid restoration of pulmonary perfusion. In this context, evidence regarding the benefit ofadvanced circulatory support..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Up to 50% of patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) experience hemodynamic instability and approximately 70% of patients who die of PE experience an accelerated cascade of symptoms within the..

Abstract Massive/high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with a 30-day mortality rate of approximately 65%. In searching for strategies that may make a dent on this dismal mortality rate, investigators..

Abstract Background Surgical pulmonary artery thrombectomy is a well-established emergency treatment for massive pulmonary embolism (PE) in which fibrinolysis or thrombolysis are not effective. However, surgery for massive PE that..

Abstract Background Intraoperative pulmonary embolism (PE) with cardiac arrest (CA) represents a critical and potentially fatal condition. Available treatments include systemic thrombolysis, catheter-based thrombus fragmentation or aspiration, and surgical embolectomy...

Abstract Acute right ventricular (RV) failure following massive pulmonary embolism (PE) can have significant hemodynamic consequences and is the mode of death. Temporary mechanical circulatory support can provide tissue perfusion..

Abstract Introduction: Massive acute pulmonary embolism (MAPE) with obstructive cardiogenic shock is associated with a mortality rate of more than 50%. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been increasingly used..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Despite quick implementation of reperfusion therapies, a few patients with high-risk, acute, massive, pulmonary embolism (PE) remain highly hemodynamically unstable. Others have absolute contraindication to receive reperfusion therapies...
