Systemic embolisation.

Scimitar syndrome in infancy. Role of embolisation of systemic arterial supply to right lung.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation presenting as in-flight systemic air embolisation.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations (CCAMs) are rarely diagnosed in adulthood. The present case study reports a case of a CCAM presenting as a cerebral air embolus during an international flight. In the present case, supportive therapy resulted in a full recovery. The patient later underwent elective excision of the pulmonary malformation. Since the overall mortality of in-flight cerebr...

Mitral stenosis with free-floating left atrial thrombus and recurrent systemic embolisation. A case report.

A 64-year-old white woman with moderately severe rheumatic mitral stenosis complicated by atrial fibrillation and recurrent systemic embolisation to the brain was found at operation to have a large 'free-floating' left atrial thrombus, as well as multiple left atrial appendage thrombi. These had not been detected by echocardiography. She also had significantly reduced left ventricular contracti...

Penetrating missile pulmonary embolisation.

Collagen 1 promotes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in lung cancer cells via transforming growth factor-b signalling. Inflammatory markers are associated with ventilatory limitation and muscle dysfunction in obstructive lung disease in well functioning elderly subjects. Usefulness of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 as predictors of outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease rec...

A rare case of massive systemic embolisation secondary to atrial myxoma- case report.

We report a case of a 21 year old girl who presented with sudden onset of abdominal, back and bilateral leg pain, paralysis with unexpected collapse at home. Physical examination was suggestive of acute aortic occlusion. CTangiogram revealed multi-system thrombo-embolic shower. She proceeded to urgent aortic thrombectomy and fasciotomy of the bilateral lower limb. Further investigation revealed...
