Low prevalence of Post-thrombotic syndrome in patients treated with rivaroxaban.

Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Residual vein thrombus (RVT) on Doppler Ultrasound can be associated with PTS. Limited data are available on the effect of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) on the long-term outcome of PTS.

Thoracoscopic transpleural azygos vein cannulation as vascular access for hemodialysis: experimental study in a porcine model.

Temporary hemodialysis is conventionally performed by accessing either the jugular, the femoral, or the subclavian veins. Repetitive or chronic use of these venous sites may lead to complications such as thrombosis of the superior vena cava. Alternative venous accesses have been described.
