BACKGROUND In dural venous sinus thrombosis (DVST), the mortality ranges 5-30%. Deep venous system involvement and septic dural sinus thrombosis have a higher mortality rate. In acute occlusion, collateral flow may not be established, which may result in significant edema and mass effect. Endovascular interventions may be considered as a treatment option in appropriate high-risk patients with D...

Translumbar catheters offer an alternative life-saving option in patients without conventional dialysis access, though their use and complication rates are poorly understood. We report the first case in the medical literature of a translumbar catheter inducing a central venous stenosis. This occult sequela converted what is usually a subclinical complication from an arteriovenous graft thrombec...

A 72-year-old man with a history of inferior vena cava (IVC) filter (TrapEaseTM, Cordis) implantation for deep venous thrombus 3 years ago was admitted to our emergency department in shock. His systolic blood pressure was 60 mmHg, and his heart rate was 112 beats/min. Marked venous congestion appeared only in his lower body (Figure 1A). Computed tomography showed the collapsed IVC (Figure 1B). ...

Iliofemoral acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) poses increased risk for post-thrombotic syndrome. Absent inferior vena cava (IVC) syndrome is a rare vascular anomaly that can be associated with idiopathic DVT in the young patient. It remains unclear whether endovenous thrombolytic intervention for DVT in patients with absent IVC can be successful, given the impaired venous outflow. This case re...

Traditionally, DVTs have been treated with the use of oral anticoagulation medication (such as warfarin) for a period of 6 months. However, this is associated with a high risk for recurrent thrombosis, and approximately one third will develop post thrombotic syndrome despite treatment (Prandoni et al 1996). The recurrence of DVT is thought to be related to damage to the venous valves during an ...

May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) also known as Cockett's syndrome is a rare condition responsible for 2%-3% of all cases of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The thrombosis results from mechanical compression of the left common iliac vein against the body of the fifth lumbar vertebra by the right common iliac artery. Repetitive hyperplasia of the venous wall by compression results in spur formation that ...

Traumatic iliac venous injury is rare but can be fatal. Although surgical management considered a primary treatment method, urgent required when deep thrombosis and subsequent phlegmasia cerulea dolens combined. It difficult to treat by management, pharmaceutic thrombolysis cannot applied due the trauma history. Here, we describe case of unilateral traumatic diffuse in affected iliofemoral infr...

Introduction. Thalidomide has been associated with both venous and arterial thrombotic events. Case Presentation. A 66-years old man during thalidomide therapy for myeloma experienced acute right arm ischemia, emergently treated with thrombectomy and, on postoperative day one left side weakness with right internal carotid thrombosis. Discussion. Because of the increased risk of arterial thrombo...
