Comparative efficacy and safety of stent retrievers as a bailout strategy following failed contact aspiration technique in acute stroke thrombectomy.
J Neurointerv Surg
January 2025
Neurosurgery, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, USA.
Background: The contact aspiration (CA) technique is often used to perform endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS); however, rescue strategies are necessary if CA fails to achieve recanalization. This study investigates the outcomes of incorporating stent retriever (SR) thrombectomy in the rescue strategy following failed CA.
Methods: EVT patients with failed CA attempts were identified from a large multicenter registry and stratified by rescue technique: CA alone or incorporating SR in the rescue strategy.
Predictors of Mortality in Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) Patients: A Retrospective Cross-sectional Study from the Sultanate of Oman.
Indian J Crit Care Med
November 2024
Department of Emergency Medicine, The Royal Hospital, Muscat, Sultanate of Oman.
Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a significant global health challenge with high incidence and low survival rates; this study aimed to predict mortality in these patients.
Methods: This 5-year retrospective chart review, conducted at the emergency departments (EDs) of two tertiary hospitals, systematically categorized, coded, and analyzed variables to assess mortality risk in OHCA patients.
Results: Of the 822 (36.
A rare complication of a thoracic wound: the pneumopericardium?
Forensic Sci Med Pathol

LaTIM, Inserm UMR 1101, 22 Avenue Camille-Desmoulins, CS 93837, Brest cedex, 29238, France.
Pneumopericardium (PPC) is defined by the presence of gas in the pericardial cavity, often leading to cardiac tamponade and a high mortality rate. This report describes a case involving a 33-year-old man found deceased a few meters from a knife, his clothes intact, with no resuscitation attempt made. A knotted scarf was tightly fastened around his neck, without ligature mark.

J Int Med Res
January 2025
Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Objective: The definition of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)-associated myocardial infarction (MI) is controversial because the postoperative increases in cardiac enzyme activities are multifactorial in origin.
Methods: We performed a retrospective case-control study of patients who experienced perioperative MI (cardiac enzyme release, electrocardiographic changes, dysfunction on echocardiography) and those without ischemia to identify risk factors and enzyme activity thresholds.
Results: The estimated incidence of CABG-associated MI was 2.
