Article Synopsis
  • - Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare venous condition that can complicate medical procedures like central venous catheterization and pacemaker placement due to its atypical drainage patterns, which can sometimes lead to serious issues like hypoxia.
  • - A case study involving a 64-year-old male with multiple health issues and atrial fibrillation highlighted the challenges of managing PLSVC during a dual-chamber pacemaker implantation, where the patient experienced lead displacement post-procedure.
  • - PLSVC typically results from incomplete development of the left anterior cardinal vein and is often identified incidentally during procedures, emphasizing the need for careful navigation during cardiac interventions.

Periodic discharges (PDs) are pathologic patterns of epileptiform discharges repeating at regular intervals, commonly detected in the human electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in patients who are critically ill. The frequency and spatial extent of PDs are associated with the tendency of PDs to cause brain injury, existing automated algorithms do not quantify the frequency and spatial extent of PDs. The present study presents an algorithm for quantifying frequency and spatial extent of PDs.

To determine mortality and morbidity associated with coronary air embolism (CAE) secondary to complications of percutaneous lung biopsy (PLB) and illicit-specific risk factor associated with this complication and overall mortality, we searched PubMed to identify reported cases of CAE secondary to PLB. After assessing inclusion eligibility, a total of 31 cases from 26 publications were included in our study. Data were analyzed using Fisher's exact test.
