Complete thrombosis of a bioprosthetic mitral valve and left atrium in a patient on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with favorable outcome

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Intra-cardiac thrombosis is a potentially devastating complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) mechanical circulatory support. We present here a patient who suffered complete thrombosis of a.

Thromboaspiration of a left-sided bioprosthetic valve thrombosis by a mini-access: the Lausanne novel procedure

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Left-sided bioprosthesis valve thrombosis (LSBVT) is a challenging complication necessitating invasive interventions. In this study, we introduce a novel, minimally invasive approach.

Outcome of antithrombotic therapy in cancer patients with catheter-related thrombosis: a systematic review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction The guidelines' recommendations for anticoagulation in cancer patients with catheter-related thrombosis are unclear. The aim of this systematic review was to assess anticoagulation management in cancer patients with catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) based on previously published studies.

AngioJet thrombectomy with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for an acute large-scale pulmonary embolism with bilateral atrial thrombosis: a case report of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Notably, acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE) with bilateral atrial thrombosis is an exceptional occurrence in CAPS. Acute massive PE combined with bilateral atrial thrombosis has an even higher mortality rate. Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common cardiovascular disease that progresses rapidly and has a high mortality rate.

Increased miR-6132 promotes deep vein thrombosis formation by downregulating FOXP3 expression

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is associated with aberrant gene expression that is a common peripheral vascular disease. Methods In order to explore the relationship between microRNAs (miRNAs) and FOXP3, mRNA and microRNA microarray analysis were performed.
