Cannulation of the subclavian vein using real-time ultrasound guidance [PDF]
Cannulation of the subclavian vein has many advantages when compared to other anatomical sites for central venous access. Difficulty in its ultrasonic visualisation, and the perceived consequent ‘higher’ complication rate, mean that this approach has ...

Vascular adaptation model from force balance: Physarum polycephalum as a case study [PDF]
Understanding vascular adaptation, namely what drives veins to shrink or grow, is key for the self-organization of flow networks and their optimization. From the top-down principle of minimizing flow dissipation at a fixed metabolic cost within flow networks, flow shear rate resulting from the flows pervading veins is hypothesized to drive vein ...

Current perspective of venous thrombosis in the upper\ud extremity [PDF]
Venous thrombosis of the upper extremity is a rare disease. Therefore, not as much is known about risk factors, treatment and the risk of recurrence as for venous thrombosis of the leg.

Early-BYRD: alternative early pacing and defibrillation lead replacement avoiding venous puncture
Background In cases of lead failure after implantation of pacemakers (PM) or implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) early lead replacement may be challenging.

False-negative upper extremity ultrasound in the initial evaluation of patients with suspected subclavian vein thrombosis due to thoracic outlet syndrome (Paget-Schroetter syndrome) [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To assess the utilization and consequences of upper extremity Duplex ultrasound in the initial diagnostic evaluation of patients with suspected subclavian vein (SCV) thrombosis and venous thoracic outlet syndrome (VTOS).

Late Concomitant Pseudoaneurysm and Arteriovenous Fistula of the Subclavian Artery: A Developing Country Perspective [PDF]
Concomitant subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous (AV) fistula has been rarely reported. We report a case of late concomitant pseudoaneurysm and AV fistula of the subclavian artery caused by a gunshot wound.

A prospective evaluation on external jugular vein cut-down approach for TIVAD implantation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Totally implantable venous access devices can be implanted both by percutaneous approaches and by surgical approaches with cephalic vein or external jugular vein cut-down techniques that are related to low intraoperative complication rates ...

A Beating‐Heart Procedure with Soft Robotic Guidance
Robot‐assisted pacemaker lead placement through the coronary sinus enabled cardiac pacing in multiple in vivo studies. When compared with conventional clinical tools, the robot reduced procedural time, duration of harmful radiation exposure, and the possibility of tissue damage.
