The azygos system as a rare alternative for chronic indwelling catheters placement [PDF]

, 2009
Chronic indwelling catheters are plagued with a high rate of complications, including infection, central venous occlusion, or thrombosis. When direct access to the superior or inferior vena cava is not possible, venography may identify alternatives that ...

A sharp interface Lagrangian-Eulerian method for flexible-body fluid-structure interaction [PDF]

, 2022
This paper introduces a sharp-interface approach to simulating fluid-structure interaction involving flexible bodies described by general nonlinear material models and across a broad range of mass density ratios. This new flexible-body immersed Lagrangian-Eulerian (ILE) approach incorporates the geometrical and domain solution flexibility of the ...

A quantitative model for refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum during vascular smooth muscle asynchronous [Ca2+] oscillations [PDF]

Cell Calcium 42, 565-75 (2007), 2006
We have developed a quantitative model for the creation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ gradients near the inner surface of the plasma membrane (PM). In particular we simulated the refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via PM-SR junctions during asynchronous [Ca2+] oscillations in smooth muscle cells of the rabbit inferior vena cava.

Open surgical treatment of superior vena cava syndrome due to invasive thymoma

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2022
Here we describe a case of open surgery for superior vena cava syndrome due to invasive thymoma. An 85-year-old woman presented with facial swelling and exertional dyspnea. Computed axial tomography revealed a thymoma in the mediastinum, extending to the

Intraoperative ultrasound: “Alternative eye” in lymph nodal dissection in non‐small cell lung cancer

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 13, Issue 23, Page 3250-3256, December 2022., 2022
Intraoperative ultrasound of mediastinal lymph nodes allows surgeons to detect metastatic lymph nodes during surgery for NSCLC. It can show the relationship between lymph nodes and surrounding structures during biopsy, improving the safety and simplicity of the operation, increasing the number of harvested lymph nodes, and reducing the risk of ...

Absent right superior vena cava [PDF]

Journal of General and Family Medicine, 2021
A patient planned to be performed catheter ablation. However, three-dimensional contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography revealed isolated persistent left superior vena cava. We should know such an anatomical abnormality especially when central venous catheter or peripherally inserted central catheter is inserted from right jugular vein or right ...
