The Clinical Rationale for the Sentry Bioconvertible Inferior Vena Cava Filter for the Prevention of Pulmonary Embolism [PDF]

, 2019
The Sentry inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is designed to provide temporary protection against pulmonary embolism (PE) during transient high-risk periods and then to bioconvert after 60 days after implantation.

A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of

Cine magnetic resonance imaging predicts thrombus adhesion in metastatic renal cell carcinoma with an inferior vena cava tumor thrombus: A case of pathological complete response with pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib

IJU Case Reports
Introduction Renal cell carcinoma with an inferior vena cava tumor thrombus is a challenging disease that requires a multimodal treatment approach. Pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib has displayed promising efficacy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Azygos vein stenting as an alternate route for inferior vena cava obstruction

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2023
Chronic venous insufficiency, caused by inferior vena cava occlusion, can lead to thromboembolic complications and tissue loss. We present two cases of azygos vein stenting (AVS) in which vena cava recanalization techniques were exhausted.

The Impact of Aging on the Anatomical Course of the Azygos Vein: A Retrospective, Computed Tomography Study

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The azygos vein (AV) is typically described as ascending vertically to the right of the vertebral column before arching anteriorly to drain into the superior vena cava. However, a small number of studies suggest that it is found leftward in older adults.

Clinical outcomes of inferior vena cava filter in complicated pulmonary embolism

Pulmonary Circulation, 2019
Background: Previous observational studies suggest that inferior vena cava filter placement in pulmonary embolism patients complicated with congestive heart failure, mechanical ventilation, and shock may have a mortality benefit. We sought to analyze the
