Efficacy of Mechanical Thrombectomy in Preventing Post-Thrombotic Syndrome in Acute DVT: A Retrospective Study.

 Lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is associated with significant morbidity and death. DVT can result in complications such as postphlebitic syndrome, pulmonary embolism, and death. Combining pretest probability, D-dimer testing, and compression ultrasound imaging enables a safe and convenient study of suspected lower-extremity thrombosis.

A Systematic Review Exploring the Impact of Arteriovenous Fistula Ligature on High-Output Heart Failure in Renal Transplant Recipients.

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in renal transplant recipients (RTrs). High-output heart failure (HoHF) is a classic problem of RTrs with patent arteriovenous fistulae (AVF). Central to the entire discipline of transplant nephrology is the ligation of AVF in RTrs, with a patent AVF presenting with signs and symptoms of HoHF.
