Endovascular management of KILT syndrome and COVID-19-related extensive deep vein thrombosis in a pregnant patient: A case report.

We report on a 20-year-old pregnant woman who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and was diagnosed with KILT syndrome, a rare condition that increases the risk of thrombotic events. The patient showed signs of deep vein thrombosis that extended from the bilateral iliac vein to the inferior vena cava (IVC), which was treated with placement of an IVC filter and endovascular thromboaspiration/thrombolysis. The IVC was successfully recanalized; however, during follow-up, thrombotic restenosis occurred at the filter level, requiring filter removal.

Any role for transarterial radioembolization in unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in the era of advanced systemic therapies?

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is recognized as the second most frequently diagnosed liver malignancy, following closely after hepatocellular carcinoma. Its incidence has seen a global upsurge in the past several years. Unfortunately, due to the lack of well-defined risk factors and limited diagnostic tools, iCCA is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, resulting in a poor prognosis.

Non-anatomical liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma: the SegSubTe classification to overcome the problem of heterogeneity.

Background: The superiority of anatomical resection (AR) vs. non-anatomical resection (NAR) in the surgical management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is debated. ARs are well-defined procedures, whereas the lack of NAR standardization results in heterogeneous outcomes.

Arterio-venous fistula causing acute right heart failure: A rare complication of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Vascular complications are a major issue in V-A ECMO and can affect long term outcome. Among these, Artero-Venous (AV) fistulas may lead to right heart failure. A 73-years patient supported with V-A ECMO for post-cardiotomy biventricular failure developed right heart failure after V-A ECMO decannulation, requiring V-A ECMO recannulation.

Compressive ultrasound can predict early pulmonary embolism onset in COVID patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of compressive ultrasound (CUS) for the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with SARS-CoV-2-related infection.

Methods: 112 hospitalized patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were retrospectively enrolled. CUS was performed within 2 days of admission and consisted in the assessment of the proximal and distal deep venous systems.

Changes of liver fat content and transaminases in obese children after 12-mo nutritional intervention.

Aim: To assess a relationship between longitudinal changes in liver fat content and biochemical parameters in obese children after 1-year nutritional intervention.

Methods: Forty-six obese children, 21 males and 25 females, aged 6-14 years, underwent metabolic measurements, liver ultrasonography (US) and chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations at baseline and after 1-year nutritional intervention. A child was defined obese if her/his body mass index (BMI) was above the age- and sex-adjusted BMI Cole's curve passing through the cut-off of 30 kg/m(2) at 18 years.

Linear asymptomatic pneumatosis as an unexpected finding of computed tomography colonography: a case report.

Introduction: We discuss asymptomatic colonic pneumatosis, an unexpected finding of computed tomography colonography that we must see as distinct from perforation. Among the papers detailing complications with computed tomography colonography, we found only one report focusing on linear pneumatosis.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 75-year-old Caucasian woman who had a high level of carcinoembryonic antigen, and who underwent computed tomography colonography.

Liver fat change in obese children after a 1-year nutrition-behavior intervention.

Objectives: To evaluate whether a 1-year nutrition-behavior intervention based on normocaloric balanced diet and physical exercise may reduce liver fat in obese children.

Patients And Methods: Twenty-six obese children (11 boys and 15 girls), aged 6 to 14 years, underwent anthropometric, nutritional, metabolic, and liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations at baseline and after a 1-year nutrition-behavior intervention. Anthropometry included weight, height, waist and hip circumference, and total upper arm area.
