Salvage of an Acutely Ruptured Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm During CPR

A prospective study of subclinical myocardial damage in endovascular versus open repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms

“…2,5,[8][9][10] The cost-effectiveness of endovascular AAA repair needs further assessment. [11][12][13][14][15][16] We conclude from this study that there is biochemical evidence of previously underestimated myocardial damage associated with elective AAA repair regardless of the type of repair. This subclinical damage is probably significantly less with endovascular than with open repair.…”

A resuscitated case of cardiopulmonary arrest due to massive hemoptysis caused by a ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm

“…After the patient's vital signs were restored, they carried out a definite open surgical procedure. Larzon et al 2 reported that a transfemoral aortic occlusion balloon was effective in a patient with CPA following a ruptured TAA. Initially, they inserted an aortic occlusion balloon without fluoroscopy guidance.…”

Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta in Experimental Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Aortic Occlusion Level Matters

“…Human studies, with the exception of some case reports, are lacking, but may be initiated in the near future because of the recent advancement of endovascular methods, in particular endovascular resuscitation, in emergency patients (20–23). In a patient with a ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm in cardiac arrest, endovascular aortic occlusion was successfully initiated during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (24). There is an urgent need of novel treatment modalities for nontraumatic and nonhemorrhagic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest because of a low rate of survival to hospital discharge (25, 26).…”
