Massive DVT from the proximal IVC to the pedal vein: Our approach using aspiration mechanical thrombectomy and open surgery thrombectomy.

Deep venous thrombosis might present in an acute condition requiring early thrombus removal. Several endovascular and surgical approaches are available with a short treatment time and minimal complications compared to pharmacotherapies. However, due to a lack of evidence, these are not the first treatment choice for deep vein thrombosis.

Correlation of Serum Ferritin and Cardiac Iron Toxicity with Cardiac Function in Transfusion Dependent Beta-Thalassemia Major Patients.

Background: Cardiac iron toxicity is a major cause of mortality in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia major patients. The main modality for detecting cardiac iron toxicity is MRI T2* with limited availability. This study aims to obtain iron toxicity profiles in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia patients; to see a correlation between iron toxicity and cardiac function.
