In-hospital outcomes of acute aortic occlusion treated by endovascular intervention: A single center study.

Background: Endovascular intervention by means of thrombolysis is emerging as a promising management of Acute Aortic Occlusion (AAO). This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy for AAO cases in a single-center tertiary hospital in Indonesia.

Methods: We review retrospectively AAO patients treated by Rheolytic thrombectomy ± stenting or TEVAR at our referral center from 2011 to 2024.

Post-Bentall procedure 'pseudo' pulmonary embolism, cardiac tamponade in disguise: a case report.

Background: Post-operative cardiac complications require rapid evaluation, which may be hindered by various challenges. Sudden shortness of breath with persisting haemodynamic failure after cardiac procedure is often associated with cases of pulmonary embolism or cardiac tamponade that have contradicting therapies. Anticoagulant therapy is the treatment of choice for pulmonary embolism; however, it could worsen pericardial effusion where bleeding control and clot evacuation are the mainstays of treatment.
