Percutaneous Thrombectomy With Flowtriever System in Pregnant Women With High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism and Contraindications to Systemic Thrombolysis.

Through these clinical cases, we present a new protocol of action, updated with the latest evidence on percutaneous pulmonary thrombectomy using dedicated catheters, for high-risk PE in pregnant women or during the early postpartum period.

Percutaneous Pulmonary Thrombectomy Beyond Acute Pulmonary Embolism: Removing Organized Thrombus in Subacute Massive Pulmonary Embolism.

Mechanical thrombectomy using a thromboaspiration catheter can be an effective alternative in the treatment of subacute pulmonary embolism.

Prevalence of post-intensive care syndrome in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19.

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) patients usually require long periods of mechanical ventilation and sedation, which added to steroid therapy, favours a predisposition to the development of delirium and subsequent mental health disorders, as well as physical and respiratory sequelae. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) at 3 months after hospital discharge, in a cohort of mechanically ventilated patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). An ambispective, observational study was conducted in three hospitals with intensive care unit (ICU) follow-up clinics.
