Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant global health concern with substantial contributions to illness and mortality rates. This study aims to scrutinize the intricate interplay between neurological and circulatory abnormalities post-TBI, particularly focusing on the challenge posed by cardiac arrest in TBI patients. The study employs a comprehensive approach, utilizing clinical assessments, electrocardiograms, intracranial pressure monitoring, brain imaging, and biomarker utilization. It explores the effectiveness of these methods in detecting cardiac arrest in TBI patients. Additionally, the research delves into resuscitation techniques, hemodynamic stabilization, intracranial pressure management, and neurological enhancement as potential therapeutic modalities. The results highlight the importance of prompt initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and adherence to advanced cardiac life support protocols in TBI patients with cardiac arrest. Prognostic factors such as injury severity, response time, effectiveness of resuscitation interventions, and pre-existing medical conditions are identified as crucial elements in predicting cardiac arrest outcomes in TBI patients. The study concludes by emphasizing the critical necessity of a comprehensive approach to understand and manage the complex relationship between cardiac arrest and TBI. Incorporating scientific discoveries, clinical perspectives, and technological advancements, the review underscores the importance of addressing this multifaceted medical challenge through a thorough analysis and effective management strategies.

Formation of an aneurysm in the sinus of Valsalva of the aortic root is usually due to an area of congenital weakness in its wall. This aneurysm may progressively dilate and rupture into any of the cardiac chambers or into the pericardial cavity. Though this is conventionally treated by surgery, interventional therapy using various closure devices is becoming more common. Embolization of these closure devices may occur. We report a case of embolization of such a device into the left pulmonary artery which during surgical retrieval, unmasked the hidden ventricular septal defect (VSD). Therefore one has to be cautious while making a diagnosis of rupture of the sinus of Valsalva of right coronary sinus without VSD.
