Background: Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) is increasingly used in the treatment of intermediate and high-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE), and the treatment of high-risk PE with the aid of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has also been reported. However, there are few reports of VA-ECOM-assisted PMT in the treatment of high-risk PE. The purpose of this study is to summarize the data of 11 patients with high-risk PE treated with VA-ECMO assisted PMT, and propose feasible treatment methods for such patients.

Background: The incidence of mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock due to ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains high even with prompt reperfusion therapy. Ventricular systolic dysfunction is the primary condition causing cardiogenic shock in STEMI. Studies have been widely conducted on the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) systolic dysfunction related to mortality events.

Purposeof The Review: In this review article, we aim to provide an overview of the pathophysiology, the clinical features, the therapeutic management and prognosis of patients affected by Multisystemic inflammatory syndrome (MIS) with cardiac involvement, focusing on myocarditis and pericarditis.
Recent Findings: MIS is a multiorgan hyperinflammatory condition due to a cytokine storm following (within 4-12 weeks) SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) infection. First described in children, it also affects young adults without comorbidities, predominantly males with highly heterogeneous clinical manifestations, including cardiac involvement.

Background: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is an inherited ion channelopathy characterized by a structurally normal heart sensitive to catecholamines. It primarily presents as Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (BiVT) and is a significant cause of sudden cardiac death in children.
Case Presentation: We report our experience with central Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) therapy in a 4-year-old boy with CPVT.
