A meta-analysis of the medium- to long-term outcomes in patients with chronic deep venous disease treated with dedicated venous stents.

Objective: This review summarizes the safety profile, stent patency, and clinical effectiveness of dedicated venous stents for the treatment of chronic deep venous disease. The approaches to stenting and post-procedural management of different vascular units are also explored.

Methods: The MEDLINE and Embase databases were searched for pertinent literature published from January 2010 to January 2023.

Type IIIb jejunal atresia treated surgically with two end-to-end anastomoses.

A term newborn presented after birth with abdominal distension and vomiting in a developing country in Asia. Ultrasonography suggested intestinal obstruction and abdominal X-ray showed a 'double-bubble' sign suggestive of intestinal atresia. The newborn was diagnosed with early-onset neonatal sepsis secondary to intestinal obstruction and transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit.
