Background: Atresia of the infrarenal inferior vena cava (IVC) is associated with thrombophilia and antithrombin (AT) deficiency (ATD) due to homozygosity for the so-called Budapest 3 variant, c.391C > T, in the gene, SERPINC1.
Case Presentation: We report on a father and his two sons that had severe thrombosis at a young age.
Background: Contemporary management of uncomplicated type B aortic dissections (uTBAD) is based on the acuity and various morphological features. Medical therapy is mandatory, while the risks of early thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) are balanced against the potential for rupture, complex surgery, and death. Improved aortic morphology following TEVAR is documented, but evidence for improved overall survival is lacking.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the prevalence of mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS), finding a 41% prevalence among 168 patients.
- It also discovered that patients with MAD experienced aortic events at a younger age and had a larger MAD distance compared to those without MAD.
- The findings suggest that MAD is indicative of severe disease and highlight the importance of screening for MAD in patients with MFS and LDS for better surgical planning and clinical follow-up.
Circulating compounds such as drugs and nutritional components might adhere to the oxygenator fibers and tubing during ECMO support. This study evaluated the amount of nutritional supplements adsorbed to the ECMO circuit under controlled ex vivo conditions. Six identical ECMO circuits were primed with fresh human whole blood and maintained under physiological conditions at 36 °C for 24 h.
