To investigate postprocedural pain after using an endovenous 1940 nm laser for great saphenous vein incompetence. A total of 72 patients were treated for symptomatic unilateral great saphenous incompetence using a 1940 nm laser device. All patients were treated using a standardized procedure under local anesthesia and investigated for postprocedural pain for 4 weeks using a visual analog scale (VAS 0-10).

Despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy and surgical debridement of distant foci, bacteremia persisted, so an endovascular thrombectomy was performed. Contrary to the usual application, the Capturex® peri-interventional cava filter was positioned upside down, in the direction of the blood flow, in the superior vena cava to prevent septic embolism during mechanical thrombectomy.

- Paclitaxel is a common chemotherapy drug associated with hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) in 16-42% of patients, leading to the use of dexamethasone, clemastine, and ranitidine as premedications to reduce this risk.
- A study examined HSR incidence in first-time paclitaxel users at Groene Hart Hospital between January 2019 and August 2020, comparing cases with and without ranitidine (which became unavailable in 2019).
- Results showed no significant difference in HSR rates, with 2.3% of patients on ranitidine experiencing HSRs compared to 2.5% without it, indicating the absence of ranitidine does not
Introduction: A 55 year old man who suffered from recurrent traumatic multi-organ bleeding presented with deterioration in kidney function and pulmonary embolism caused by a newly diagnosed renal vein thrombosis during hospitalisation.

Objective: To describe typical clinical presentation of patients with microfistular, capillary-venule (CV) malformation as a variant form of arteriovenous malformations (AVM).
Methods: A retrospective clinical analysis of 15 patients with CV-AVM confirmed by a computational flow model enrolled in a prospective database of patients with congenital vascular malformation between January 2008 and May 2018.
Results: The mean age of the patients at first time of presentation was 30 years with balanced sex ratio.
