Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the post-closure technique using the ProGlide device during decannulation after veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in 170 patients.
- Technical success was achieved in 92.4% of patients, though 9.4% experienced lower limb complications, including arterial thrombosis and pseudo-aneurysms.
- The findings suggest that the suture-mediated closure of the femoral artery is a promising approach, with no significant increase in complications based on different cannula sizes.
The cardiac variant of Fabry disease (FD) has high rates of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis due to the lack of systemic symptoms. Here, we report a case of a 68-year-old female with delayed-onset FD presenting as concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with right bundle branch block, atrial fibrillation, and diastolic dysfunction, which was first presented with coronary artery spasm. Early cardiac-specific signs are crucial for diagnosing this disease due to the lack of extracardiac indications and the late onset of symptoms.
