Cannulation configuration and recirculation in venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Scientific Reports, 2022
Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome. Femoro-atrial cannulation means blood is drained from the inferior vena cava and returned to the superior vena cava; the opposite is termed atrio ...

Angiosarcoma of the superior vena cava [PDF]

Cancer, 1983
The first reported case of an angiosarcoma apparently arising from the superior vena cava is presented.

Hemodynamic and recirculation performance of dual lumen cannulas for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Scientific Reports, 2023
Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be performed with two single lumen cannulas (SLCs) or one dual-lumen cannula (DLC) where low recirculation fraction ( $${R}_{f}$$ R f ) is a key performance criterion.

The incremental benefit of upfront surgery in renal cell carcinoma with venous tumor thrombus of the inferior venae cavae

Urological Science, 2018
Background: Surgical extirpation for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with inferior venae cavae (IVC) thrombi is the standard of care. The incremental impact of upfront surgery has not been well described. Objective: We aim to quantify the overall survival (OS)
