A recent study conducted at Saiseikai Utsunomiya Hospital in Japan has reported a rare case of successful microsurgical clipping for a patient with a poor-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and severe neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) who was also undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy. Hemorrhagic strokes are typically considered contraindications for ECMO therapy due to the use of anticoagulants and ECMO-associated coagulopathy. However, in this case, the use of a heparin-bonded ECMO tubing, maintenance of a slightly higher ECMO pump speed, and multiple transfusions to correct ECMO-associated coagulopathy allowed for the successful microsurgical clipping without any anticoagulants. This study demonstrates the potential to expand the use of microsurgical clipping for poor-grade SAH patients requiring ECMO treatment. [Extracted from the article]

A new report discusses research findings on Moyamoya disease, a condition that affects the blood vessels in the brain.
