Transcatheter embolization was performed with stainless steel coils in a patient with bilateral pulmonary arterial aneurysms of unknown etiology. After a successful initial procedure, endobronchial migration of one of the coils was found which required surgical treatment. Indications of embolization and different types of materials are discussed.

Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a high-risk procedure with significant morbidity and mortality and there is an uncertain volume-outcome relationship, especially regarding long-term functional outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine the association between ECMO centre volume and long-term death and disability outcomes.
Design Setting And Participants: This is a registry-embedded observational cohort study.

The mediastinal vasculature can be affected by various etiologies in cancer patients. Both direct and indirect sequela of cancer may result in life-threatening clinical presentations. Tumor growth may cause vessel narrowing and decreased blood flow from either extrinsic mass effect, invasion into the vascular wall, or tumor thrombus within the lumen.

Objective: To develop a model for preoperatively predicting postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) in patients with poor left ventricular (LV) function undergoing cardiac surgery.
Methods: From the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Database, 11,493 patients with LV ejection fraction ≤35% underwent isolated on-pump surgery from 2018 through 2019, of whom 3428 experienced PCCS. In total, 68 preoperative clinical variables were considered in machine-learning algorithms trained and optimized using scikit-learn software.

Background: Perioperative right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery patients. This study aimed to demonstrate proof of concept in generating intraoperative RV pressure-volume (PV) loops and conducting an end-systolic PV relationship (ESPVR) analysis using data obtained from routinely used intraoperative monitors.
Methods: Adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with the placement of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) between May 2023 and March 2024 were included prospectively.
