The success of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is critically dependent on the maintenance of myocardial and cerebral perfusion; therefore, preferential perfusion of these vital organs over non-vital vascular beds, such as the extremities, is desirable. We propose that compression of the femoral and/or brachial arteries during CPR improves resuscitation outcomes.

Background: Left atrial dissection is a rare and occasionally fatal complication of cardiac surgery and is defined as the creation of a false chamber through a tear in the mitral valve annulus extending into the left atrial wall. Some patients are asymptomatic, while others present with various symptoms, such as chest pain, dyspnea, and even cardiac arrest. Although there is no established management for left atrial dissection, surgery should be considered in patients with hemodynamic disruption.
