Treatment of Superior Vena Cava (SVC) Syndrome and Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Thrombosis in a Patient with Colorectal Cancer: Combination of SVC Stenting and IVC Filter Placement to Palliate Symptoms and Pave the Way for Port Implantation [PDF]
Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava is a life-threatening complication in cancer patients leading to pulmonary embolism. These patients can also be affected by superior vena cava syndrome causing dyspnea followed by trunk or extremity swelling.

Retrograde Tempofilter II™ Placement within the Superior Vena Cava in a Patient with Acute Upper Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis: the Filter Stands on Its Head [PDF]
The Tempofilter II is a widely used temporary vena cava filter. Its unique design, which includes a long tethering catheter with a subcutaneous anchor, facilitates the deployment and retrieval of the device. Despite this, the Tempofilter II has been used

Pediatric Left Posteroseptal Accessory Pathway Ablation from Giant Coronary Sinus with Persistent Left Superior Cava [PDF]
We report a pediatric patient with persistent left superior vena cava and a D-transposition of great arteries, which is an uncommon relation. It is crucial to know the anatomy of the persistent left superior vena cava and the dilated coronary sinus to ...

The gut microbiome is a potential target for treating cardiovascular disease. It is found that prophylactic administration of Flavonifractor plautii or its metabolite desaminotyrosine (DAT) exerts pleiotropic cardioprotective effects via promoting cardiomyocyte survival and attenuating cardiac inflammation against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R ...

The reverse portacaval shunt [PDF]
A technique has been described in which all the venous drainage of the deep femoral system is diverted through the hepatic bed by means of a reverse Eck fistula and systematic division of collaterals from the inferior vena cava and iliac veins.

Reinforcing Stromal Cell Spheroid Through Red‐Light Preconditioning for Advanced Vascularization
This study presents a novel approach to enhance stromal cell therapy for myocardial infarction by combining OLED‐based photobiomodulation (OPBM) preconditioning with 3D spheroid culture of hADSCs. The engineered spheroids improve angiogenesis, arterialization, and cardiac function in vivo, offering a next‐generation therapeutic strategy to overcome ...

An Immersed Interface Method for Discrete Surfaces [PDF]
Fluid-structure systems occur in a range of scientific and engineering applications. The immersed boundary(IB) method is a widely recognized and effective modeling paradigm for simulating fluid-structure interaction(FSI) in such systems, but a difficulty of the IB formulation is that the pressure and viscous stress are generally discontinuous at the ...
