Abstract
In cardiac arrest caused by an acute pulmonary embolism, administration of a fibrinolytic therapy and continuous prolonged cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is recommended. This approach might be problematic in patients with an intracranial hemorrhage. In these cases, therapy with venous-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) might restore circulation and allow commencement of a patient-individualized anticoagulation management carefully balancing clot dissolution and re-bleeding risk of the brain stem intracranial hemorrhage.
