Despite recent advances in its management, the outcome from cardiac arrest is often poor despite appropriate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) achieved during CPR is associated with successful return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Continuous balloon occlusion of the descending aorta is an experimental method that can occlude the 'unnecessary' part of the circulation, thus diverting generated pressure and blood flow to the heart and brain. We present a case report with a patient unresponsive to standard CPR in which constant intraaortic balloon occlusion achieved ROSC and successful survival.

Background: Although controversial, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has been used to manage liver injuries. This matched cohort study evaluated outcomes in severe liver injuries treated with REBOA or without REBOA.
Methods: Trauma Quality Improvement Program database study.
Feasibility and Safety of Distal Radial Artery Access with Recanalization of a Chronic Radial Artery Occlusion for Subsequent Coronary Angiography and Intervention.

Aims: This study aims to verify the feasibility and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after a distal transradial approach (dTRA) with radial artery occlusion (RAO) recanalization.
Methods: Between July 2018 and January 2022, 30 patients underwent PCI following attempted RAO recanalization via dTRA. Among these cases, the target radial arteries could not be recanalized in five patients, necessitating alternative vascular access.

Tandem occlusion due to acute cervical carotid artery dissection should be promptly treated with thrombectomy for reperfusion. If the cervical lesion has reached severe stenosis or complete occlusion, balloon angioplasty and, in certain cases, carotid artery stenting should be performed before thrombectomy for the intracranial lesion. Angioplasty or stent placement is performed in the true lumen, but securing the placement is challenging when the true lumen cannot be determined.

GECs are used for stent delivery into the coronary arteries of patients with difficult anatomy due to tortuosity, calcification, or chronic total occlusion (CTO) vessels. Stent and balloon placement has become challenging in patients with increasing lesion complexity due to tortuosity, vessel morphology, length of the lesion, and respiratory movements.
