AngioJet thrombectomy with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for an acute large-scale pulmonary embolism with bilateral atrial thrombosis: a case report of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome.

Background: Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome (CAPS), a severe systemic autoimmune disorder, predominantly causes life-threatening multi-organ failure, with a high mortality rate. It primarily affects small vessels, seldom impacting large vessels. Notably, acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE) with bilateral atrial thrombosis is an exceptional occurrence in CAPS.

Diagnosis of leptospira by metagenomics next-generation sequencing with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support: a case report.

Background: Leptospirosis is an infectious disease caused by pathogenic Leptospira spp., which could result in severe illnesses. Indirect contact with these pathogens is more common.
