Abstract: Case report Veno-Arterial (VA) ECMO has been used to help patients recover from cardiogenic shock. VA-ECMO can complicate recovery due to the increase in afterload and decreased flow through the left sided chambers. We present… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(20)33580-4
Abstract: Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is often diagnosed postmortem concurrently with an underlying hypercoagulable state, such as systemic lupus erythematosus or malignancy. In-vivo diagnosis is usually prompted by clinical symptoms from systemic embolization with a multimodality… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/echo.14170
Abstract: Malignancy can cause a hypercoagulable state, it rarely causes prosthetic valve thrombosis, with only limited cases reports due to lymphoma. Although no standardised approach for treatment exists, the combination of early diagnosis, surgical intervention and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1556984520934632
Abstract: Variability exists regarding the timing and duration of anticoagulation after surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation and bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement (MVR). We report a case in which a patient developed a massive left atrial (LA)… read more here.
