Metal in motion: a case report of inferior vena cava filter migration.

Background: Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter migration, particularly to the heart, is a rare complication. Small metal fragments may be inadequately characterized on transthoracic echocardiography and may be missed entirely on chest radiograph. Managing the adverse outcomes of IVC filters is a formidable challenge as retrieval carries the risk of arrhythmia, right ventricular perforation, and damage to the tricuspid valve.

Endovascular management of an iatrogenic injury to the supra-aortic trunk after attempted central venous catheter placement.

We have presented the successful endovascular management of an injury to the proximal left common carotid artery following attempted cannulation of the right internal jugular vein in a critically ill patient with multisystem organ failure secondary to infection with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2).

Preliminary Experience With the Human Acellular Vessel: A Descriptive Case Series Detailing Early Use of a Bioengineered Blood Vessel for Arterial Repair.

Background: An infection-resistant, immediately available conduit for trauma and urgent vascular reconstruction remains a critical need for successful limb salvage. While autologous vein remains the gold standard, vein-limited patients and size mismatch are common issues. The Human Acellular Vessel (HAV) (Humacyte, Inc.

Endovascular management of penetrating and non-penetrating aortic injury.

Aortic trauma is a devastating injury often associated with significant polytrauma. Penetrating injury of the aorta is highly lethal and therefore rarely encountered in the hospital setting. The management of blunt trauma of the aorta has changed significantly over the past decade, principally due to improved imaging technology and the development of endovascular therapy.
