Successful resuscitation of acute type A aortic dissection with pulmonary embolism using long-term venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a case report.

Acute aortic dissection (AAD) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are two critical and potentially fatal causes of chest pain. The simultaneous occurrence of these conditions is exceptionally rare; however, when they co-occur, the conflicting therapeutic strategies required significantly elevate mortality rates. While venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been extensively reported as a life-saving intervention for high-risk pulmonary embolism, its application in the management of AAD remains highly debated.

Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for the treatment of obstructive shock caused by venous air embolism: A case report.

Background: Venous air embolism (VAE) is a potentially lethal condition, with a reported incidence rate of about 0.13%, and the true incidence may be higher since many VAE are asymptomatic. The current treatments for VAE include Durant's maneuver, aspiration and removal of air through venous catheters, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

[Finite element analysis of InterTan for the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures].

Objective: To study the biomechanical characteristics of InterTan for the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture of Evans-Jensen IV.

Methods: Scanning the femur and internal plant of volunteers with spiral CT to obtain DICOM format data. Three-dimensional models of left femur and InterTan were reconstructed by Mimics software.
