Ultrasound indicators of organ venous congestion: a narrative review [PDF]
Annals of Intensive CareAcute kidney injury and other organ dysfunction in the setting of heart failure are primarily determined by a low cardiac output status and venous congestion, which is a sequence of increases in heart filling pressures.

Assessing venous congestion in critical illness: advantages of the inferior vena cava shape change index over diameter [PDF]
Annals of Intensive CareBackground: The traditional Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) scoring system relies on inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter measurements, which are affected by multiple confounding factors.

VExUS in Mechanical Circulatory Support: Unveiling the Role of Doppler Ultrasound in Assessing Venous Congestion [PDF]
POCUS JournalPersistent congestion in decompensated heart failure predicts poor outcomes. The Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score, which integrates hepatic, portal, and intrarenal Doppler waveforms, provides a dynamic, noninvasive measure of venous congestion and

Venous Anastomosis for Prevention of Venous Congestion in Distally Based Flaps
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2017 Background:. Distally based flaps are useful for the treatment of skin defects of the extremities. However, congestion in the peripheral part of the flap due to reverse flow can cause partial flap necrosis. Previously, we reported on the effectiveness of

Venous congestion from a vascular waterfall perspective: reframing congestion as a dynamic Starling resistor phenomenon [PDF]
Intensive Care Medicine ExperimentalThe vascular waterfall phenomenon, rooted in Starling resistor principles, describes how blood flow becomes independent of downstream pressure when intraluminal pressure falls below a critical closing pressure (Pcrit).

Assessment of the peripheral microcirculation using computer-assisted venous congestion plethysmography in post-traumatic complex regional pain syndrome type I [PDF]
, 2001 In complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS-I), edema of the affected limb is a common finding. Therefore, the changes in macro- and microcirculatory parameters were investigated to elucidate the underlying pathophysiology.

What went wrong? The flawed concept of cerebrospinal venous insufficiency [PDF]
, 2013 In 2006, Zamboni reintroduced the concept that chronic impaired venous outflow of the central nervous system is associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), coining the term of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency ('CCSVI'). The diagnosis of 'CCSVI' is
