Multiple Extrasplanchnic Venous Thromboses: A Rare Complication of Pancreatitis. A Case Report [PDF]
Context Venous thrombosis has been described in patients with acute and chronic pancreatitis. This is especially common in portal vein, splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein.

Risks and Benefits of Using a Commercially Available Ventricular Assist Device for Failing Fontan Cavopulmonary Support: A Modeling Investigation [PDF]
Fontan patients often develop circulatory failure and are in desperate need of a therapeutic solution. A blood pump surgically placed in the cavopulmonary pathway can substitute the function of the absent sub-pulmonary ventricle by generating a mild pressure boost.

Endovascular treatment of superior vena cava syndrome: case report and review of the literature [PDF]
We report a case of a patient with symptomatic benign superior vena cava syndrome treated by the endovascular technique. The angiographic resonance before angioplasty showed extensive thrombosis of the left brachiocephalic trunk, left subclavian vein and

A sharp interface Lagrangian-Eulerian method for rigid-body fluid-structure interaction [PDF]
This paper introduces a sharp interface method to simulate fluid-structure interaction (FSI) involving rigid bodies immersed in viscous incompressible fluids. The capabilities of this methodology are demonstrated for a range of benchmark test cases along with large-scale models of biomedical FSI.

Fatal blunt trauma with rare and undetected superior vena cava rupture: A case report and literature review [PDF]
Laceration of the superior vena cava is an uncommon clinical entity almost always related to penetrating trauma. Rarely, however, it may occur after blunt thoracic trauma.

Thrombosis of the superior vena cava in a patient with an implanted cardioverter–defibrillator: A case report [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Superior vena cava syndrome results from the occlusion of blood flow in the superior vena cava due to external compression, internal obstruction, or infiltration of the vessel wall by a tumor.

A finite element solver and energy stable coupling for 3D and 1D fluid models [PDF]
The paper develops a solver based on a conforming finite element method for a 3D--1D coupled incompressible flow problem. New coupling conditions are introduced to ensure a suitable bound for the cumulative energy of the model. We study the stability and accuracy of the discretization method, and the performance of some state-of-the-art linear ...
