Case report: interventional thrombectomy with haemodynamic support by veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a rescue strategy in acute pulmonary embolism refractory to systemic thrombolysis.

Department of Cardiology, General Hospital Celle, Siemensplatz 4, Celle 29223, Germany.
Background: High-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with significant mortality. Thrombolysis is the therapy of choice, while interventional thrombectomy may be a helpful strategy in case of contraindications or failed thrombolysis. However, the procedure may be complicated by catheter-induced embolization of clots and/or haemodynamic compromise.

Background: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was successfully performed for the rescue of an adult patient with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by fulminant psittacosis, and then a near-fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) and cardiac arrest (CA) of the same patient was cured through catheter-directed thrombolysis.
Case Presentation: A 51-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital on September 10, 2021 due to slurred speech, weakness in lower limbs, dizziness, and nausea. Subsequently, she developed confusion and was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU), where she received anti-shock, antibiotics, invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and veno-venous ECMO due to the diagnosis of severe pneumonia, severe ARDS, and septic shock based on comprehensive physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging findings.

Unlabelled: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) plays an important role in patients with massive pulmonary embolism (PE)-related cardiac arrest. A 47-year-old healthy Japanese woman was brought to the emergency department because of shock. The patient suddenly collapsed due to cardiac arrest in an ambulance.

COVID-19 morbidity and mortality are not equivalent to other etiologies of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as fulminant activation of coagulation can occur, thereby resulting in widespread microvascular thrombosis and consumption of coagulation factors. A 53-year-old female presented to an emergency center on two occasions with progressive gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms. She was diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia and admitted to a satellite intensive care unit with hypoxemic respiratory failure.

Introduction: Recombinant adenoviral vector vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 have been observed to be associated with vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia. Though vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia is a rare complication after vaccination with recombinant adenoviral vector vaccines, it can lead to severe complications. In vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, the vector vaccine induces heparin-independent production of platelet factor 4 autoantibodies, resulting in platelet activation and aggregation.
