A 7-year retrospective review of the technical success of the "low-profile" hangman technique for complicated inferior vena cava (IVC) filter retrievals.

Purpose: We aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of a modified low-profile hangman technique.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all filter retrieval procedures performed at a major trauma center, from 2012 to 2019. Records were reviewed for patient demographics, device type, device dwell time, device tilt, embedded hook, success of device retrieval, evidence of caval injury and occurrence of complications.

MR imaging of spinal haematoma: a pictorial review.

Spinal haematoma is a rare occurrence, however has the potential to cause significant spinal injury and morbidity. MRI is the gold-standard of investigation, and urgent imaging is required for early diagnosis and treatment to ensure best patient outcomes. We present a pictorial review demonstrating the imaging features of spinal haematoma based on meningeal space assignment; epidural, subdural, subarachnoid, intramedullary and a combination of these locations.
