Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-supported primary PCI in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Despite major advances in acute coronary syndrome management, several interventions remain challenging, such as percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) conducted in patients with last remaining vessel disease. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) exhibits the potential of reducing the procedural-related risk associated with these interventions. The present case report describes two successful PCIs under ECMO support in high-risk patients, provides information on ECMO’s technical background, and discusses the technique’s other potential applications in the cardiology field.

Nowadays, the majority of patients suffering from aortic valve stenosis are treated by aortic valve replacement (AVR) or via Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). However, there is a subset of patients having severe comorbidities that either potentiate periprocedural risk or impede above-mentioned treatment: renal insufficiency, severely impaired ejection fraction, bicuspid aortic valve, large aortic annulus, ostial encroachment, redo-operation as well as severely calcified (“Porcelain”) aorta. Aortic Valve Bypass (AVB) with placement of a valved fabric graft between left apex and descending aorta is considered to be an alternative treatment for this patient cohort. Though already developed in the early 1960’s general surgical acceptance was low due to the lack of appropriate instruments and the need for Cardio Pulmonary Bypass (CPB). However, with the development of a gun-like coring device (Correx, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) these impediments have been overcome. We report on a 72-year-old male patient suffering from aortic valve stenosis with concomitant mutilating diagnoses who was rejected for conventional surgery and transcatheter treatment. Perioperative course with implantation of the AVB between left ventricular apex and the descending thoracic aorta without CPB was uneventful as was the postoperative course. The patient could be released from the hospital in good condition on day 15. Full article

Diagnosis and treatment of vascular malformations Vascular malformations are congenital vessel anomalies that may affect the entire vascular tree. They may be isolated, such as venous malformations, or occur in combination, such as arterio-venous malformations. Depending on their size and localization, vascular malformations can be associated with marked morbidity. As these disorders are rare and frequently misdiagnosed, they often result in inappropriate treatment. Full article
