Abstract. Introduction. Thanks to the use of renal replacement therapy at current stage medical development, full and social rehabilitation patients with end-stage chronic failure is possible. The key effective programmed hemodialysis formation adequate permanent vascular access. Ensuring optimal functioning access a multidisciplinary problem. Currently, none known options for ideal, but native...

Cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis is a relatively rare condition with a variable presentation that can translate into a difficult workup and a delay in diagnosis and treatment. We describe the successful use of mechanical thrombectomy and thrombolysis in the case of an eighteen-year-old woman that presented with progressive thrombosis of the jugular veins and dural sinuses despite adequate a...

Primary thrombosis of the subclavian-axillary vein is a condition of uncertain origin resulting in proximal arm swelling, discomfort on use, and prominence of engorged collateral veins in the upper arm and chest. The literature is reviewed and the authors' own experience with 23 patients, evaluated from 1950 through 1966, is detailed. This disorder is a clinically distinct venous complication o...

commonly due to thrombosis, represents a common and serious complication of long-term central venous catheterization. Thickening of the vascular intima or thrombosis involving the superior vena cava (SVC), if severe enough, can present clinically as the SVC syndrome. Typically, the symptoms of SVC syndrome, including headaches, brawny edema of the upper extremities, head and neck, and prominent...

In contrast to widely recognized venous thrombotic complications, peripheral arterial thrombosis as a complication of nephrotic syndrome, especially without preceding iatrogenic venous puncture, corticosteroid treatment, or coagulation factor abnormalities, has rarely been reported in adult female patients. We report the case of a 39-year-old woman who presented with pain in the right lower leg...

The treatment tactics for subclavian artery occlusion include the more commonly used endovascular therapy rather than surgical intervention. We present a case of a 61-year-old woman with dialysis-dependent chronic renal failure who experienced left finger necrosis in the left upper extremity. To salvage the limb, we performed femoro-axillary (fem-ax) artery bypass using an autologous saphenous ...

A 50 year-old man with no significant medical history was admitted for dyspnea and left femoral swelling. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and a thrombus in the inferior vena cava (IVC). The thrombus extended from the proximal IVC to the left popliteal vein. Therefore, we decided that an IVC filter insertion was difficult to indicate. Urgent IVC and...

Untreated symptomatic patients with Paget-Schroetter syndrome can suffer chronic disability due to venous obstruction, with arm swelling, pain, and early exercise fatigue. Although systemic or catheter-directed thrombolysis followed by anticoagulation and surgical intervention is recommended, there is no definite consensus about treatment. Here, we report the clinical usefulness of hybrid inter...

We describe the case of a 28-year-old obtunded woman who presented with bilateral anterior parietal lobe cortical hemorrhages associated with thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus, both transverse and sigmoid sinuses, and multiple cortical veins draining into the sagittal sinus. Initial heparin therapy was not effective. A combination of AngioJet rheolytic catheter thrombectomy, balloon ang...
