Iliocaval and iliofemoral venous stenting for obstruction secondary to tumor compression.

Background: Cancer patients with pelviabdominal masses can suffer from lower extremity symptoms due to venous compression. The effectiveness of venous stenting has been established in extrinsic venous compression in benign conditions like May-Thurner syndrome. In this retrospective study we evaluate the efficacy and safety of caval, iliocaval and iliofemoral venous stenting for cases of extrinsic venous compression caused by malignant masses in cancer patients.

Iliocaval and Iliofemoral Venous Stenting for Obstruction Secondary to Tumor Compression: Single Center Experience.

Background: Cancer patients with pelviabdominal masses can suffer from lower extremity symptoms due to venous compression. The effectiveness of venous stenting has been established in extrinsic venous compression in benign conditions like May-Thurner syndrome. In this retrospective study we evaluate the efficacy and safety of caval, iliocaval and iliofemoral venous stenting for cases of extrinsic venous compression caused by malignant masses in cancer patients.

Peripheral Arterial Disease is Associated With Higher Rates of Hospital Encounters and Mortality in Cancer Patients: A Retrospective Study Conducted at a Tertiary Cancer Center.

Cancer and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have overlapping risk factors and common genetic predispositions. The concomitant effects of PAD and cancer on patients have not been well studied. The objective of this retrospective study is to evaluate outcomes of cancer patients with PAD.

Extrinsic arterial compression and lower extremity ischemia after iliac vein stent placement: case report, review of literature.

Background: Lower extremity ischemia due to extrinsic arterial compression by venous stent placement is a rare but increasingly recognized occurrence. Given the rise of complex venous interventions, awareness of this entity is becoming increasingly important to avoid serious complications.

Case Presentation: A 26-year-old with progressively enlarging pelvic sarcoma despite chemoradiation developed recurrent symptomatic right lower extremity deep venous thrombosis due to worsening mass effect on a previously placed right common iliac vein stent.

Abnormal photoplethysmography waveforms are associated with chemotherapy induced neuropathy.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a dose-dependent adverse event of many chemotherapy agents that affects autonomic, motor, and sensory nerve fibers. The purpose of this study is to describe abnormal photoplethysmography waveforms (PPGs) in the setting of CIPN in cancer patients screened for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which to our knowledge has not been previously described. 147 patients who underwent vascular physiologic testing in evaluation for PAD with an ankle brachial index (ABI) or toe brachial index (TBI), segmental pressures, pulse volume recordings, and toe PPGs, in a tertiary cancer center's vascular lab between January 1, 2019 and January 31, 2021 were included in the study.

Inferior vena cava filters and their varying compliance with the ACCP and the SIR guidelines.

Objectives: We examined our experience with inferior vena cava filters to assess whether we conformed to the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) and the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) guidelines and to evaluate the reasons for any discrepancy.

Methods: This was a retrospective medical record review of patients having inferior vena cava filters placed in two New York City hospitals during a 34-month period. The indications for filter placement, the type of filter used, and the conformity with the two guidelines were noted.

Transarterial embolization for inferior epigastric artery injury.

The inferior epigastric artery represents a potentially overlooked source of pelvic arterial hemorrhage. The authors describe 3 patients with massive inferior epigastric artery bleeding following cesarean section, paracentesis, and blunt trauma that were successfully treated with transarterial embolization. The inferior epigastric artery should be considered as a possible source of arterial hemorrhage if arteriography of internal iliac artery branches does not yield a bleeding source.

Endovascular repair of symptomatic renal transplant site pseudoaneurysm.

This article reports a patient with a symptomatic external iliac artery pseudoaneurysm at a prior transplant nephrectomy site who underwent successful repair with percutaneous endovascular placement of a covered stent. Endovascular treatment with a covered stent is a safe and effective alternative to open surgery in the treatment of a symptomatic pseudoaneurysm arising from a transplant nephrectomy site.

Arterial embolization of vaginal arterial branches for severe postpartum hemorrhage despite hysterectomy.

Postpartum hemorrhage remains a substantial cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Arterial embolization has been described as a successful primary modality and an important adjunct in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage. Herein, the authors report a case of intractable postpartum hemorrhage refractory to hysterectomy.
