High-risk pulmonary embolism: the significance and perspectives of pulmonary reperfusion

Abstract Rapid hemodynamic stabilization and restoration of pulmonary perfusion are the cornerstones of treatment for high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE). While all current guidelines recommend systemic thrombolysis (SYS) as the first-line..

Early endovascular reperfusion during extracorporeal support for massive pulmonary embolism

Abstract In massive pulmonary embolism (PE), endovascular therapies and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are increasingly utilised. However, the impact of combining endovascular therapies with ECMO on shock resolution and clinical recovery remains..

Optimal reperfusion strategy in acute high-risk pulmonary embolism requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background The optimal pulmonary revascularisation strategy in high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) requiring implantation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains controversial. Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of..

Controlled automated reperfusion of the whole body after cardiac arrest: Device profile of the CARL system

Abstract Background Cardiac arrest is associated with high mortality rates and severe neurological impairments. One of the underlying mechanisms is global ischemia-reperfusion injury of the body, particularly the brain. Strategies..

Does magnesium-supplemented cardioplegia reduce cardiac injury? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Abstract Background: Magnesium is often used to supplement cardioplegic solutions during cardiopulmonary bypass due to its cardioprotective effect during ischemia and reperfusion. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the..
