- - The study evaluated the effectiveness of CT venography (CTV) in diagnosing venous thromboembolism (VTE) in women during the postpartum period across 14 hospitals from 2016 to 2020.
- - A total of 123 women were analyzed, revealing that CTV helped identify additional cases of VTE that CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) missed, increasing the detection rate from 5.7% to 12.2%.
- - While CTV improved VTE detection, it also resulted in higher radiation exposure compared to CTPA alone, which raises considerations for clinical practice when managing postpartum PE.

Methods: Patients initially managed conservatively for uncomplicated ASBO were retrospectively analyzed.
Purpose: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most frequently performed bariatric procedure worldwide. Postoperative staple-line leak and intraabdominal hemorrhage can increase associated morbidity and mortality.
