E-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury (EVALI). A case report of a 19-year-old male in Denmark by Mia Ritzau Ishøj Nielsen, Jens-Ulrik Stæhr Jensen, Pradeesh Sivapalan, Michael Perch, Finn Møller-Pedersen

“…The patient presented with profound respiratory symptoms necessitating intensive care unit (ICU) admission, subsequent intubation, and eventually initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. EVALI should be suspected in users of vaping products, who present with sudden-onset severe respiratory insufficiency, and where other main causes can be excluded.…”

Successful Treatment of Whole Coronary Artery Spasm after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting by Akihiro Kobayashi, Yoshimori Araki, Takafumi Terada, Osamu Kawaguchi

“…An hour after surgery, there was a sudden hemodynamic compromise due to coronary artery spasm, prompting emergent coronary angiography with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. Because the angiography results showed diffuse severe spasm of the entire native coronary artery, the patient was treated with an intracoronary injection of vasodilators. …”

The Successful Use of Inhaled Nitric Oxide in the Management of Severe Hepatopulmonary Syndrome after Orthotopic Liver Transplantation by Joshua Santos, Philip Young, Igor Barjaktarevic, Catherine Lazar, Irawan Susanto, Tisha Wang

“…In both cases, we successfully treated the patients with inhaled nitric oxide for their severe refractory life-threatening hypoxemia which led to immediate and dramatic improvements in their oxygenation. Although the use of inhaled nitric oxide in patients with HPS has been sporadically reported in pediatric literature and in animal studies, to our knowledge, our cases are the first recorded in adult patients.…”

Rapid Switch from Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumping to Percutaneous Cardiopulmonary Support Using Perclose ProGlide by Kenichi Sakakura, Yusuke Adachi, Yousuke Taniguchi, Hiroshi Wada, Shin-ichi Momomura, Hideo Fujita

“…We present a case of a patient who needed rapid switch from intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) to percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS)/venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. It is difficult to switch from IABP to PCPS, because 0.035-inch guidewires cannot pass the IABP guidewire lumen (0.025-inch compatible), and the IABP sheath needs to be removed together with the IABP catheter. …”
