IntroductionWe present a case of ophthalmic venous congestion presenting with blurred vision in 55-year-old patient on oxyRVAD VV ECMO via Right Internal Jugular Vein cannulation.Case ReportA male was evaluated for lung transplantation covid-19 ARDS and advanced fibrotic changes. While he an inpatient, developed worsening hypoxia hypercapnia requiring the initiation urgent bedside ECMO. Initial...

The vascular access preparation for this patient was poor due to poor accessibility to surgical service, and his peripheral veins were not good for arterio-venous fistula. He was initiated on haemodialysis with a right sided internal jugular catheter (IJC). The right IJC was removed due to infection. There was previously a documented attempt to insert a left sided IJC in September 2010, however...

Endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) is becoming common for the patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Using carbon dioxide insufflations during the vein harvest can produce rare but catastrophic CO(2) embolism. We report a case of massive right atrial CO(2) embolism due to femoral vein injury which occurred during the performance of a routine EVH procedure.

May-Thurner syndrome is the condition of the left common iliac vein being compressed between the right common iliac artery and the associated vertebral body. This condition has been linked to spontaneous episodes of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), especially in women aged 20-50, and it may contribute to the slightly higher tendency to develop left-sided (~56%) versus right-sided DVTs. A 50-year-old...

A 69-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with cardiopulmonary arrest. Percutaneous cardio-pulmonary support (PCPS) using the right femoral artery and vein was initiated, because ventricular fibrillation continued. Although we succeeded in defibrillation after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a chest radiograph indicated a pneumothorax in the right lung and a pulmonic contusion in...

Postoperative recurrence and metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) to the superior vena cava (SVC) right atrium (RA) are rare. The application Extracorporeal Jugular-femoral Vein Bypass anesthesia management for SVC reconstruction in this rare situation holds instructive significance. In case, we describe successful a patient with multiple tumor thrombi due postoperative PTC. diagnosi...

In their interesting narrative review about nontranspulmonary contrast echocardiography, Soliman et al. devoted a section to discuss the greater sensitivity of venous femoral injection of contrast for the detection of patent foramen ovale (PFO) as compared with venous brachial injection. This has been explained by intraatrial flow streaming, with inferior caval vein flow directed to the interat...

Nontunneled hemodialysis catheters (NTHCs) are typically used when vascular access is required for urgent renal replacement therapy. The preferred site for NTHC insertion in acute kidney injury is the right internal jugular vein followed by the femoral vein. When aided by real-time ultrasound, mechanical complications related to NTHC insertion are significantly reduced. The preferred site for t...
