Anatomical insights into the median septum on soleal vein network and deep vein thrombosis risk.

The high incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in evacuees has been recognized since the 2004 Niigata-Chuetsu Earthquake in Japan. We hypothesized that the number and location of communicating branches of the soleal veins might influence thrombus development and that the median septum of the soleus muscle influences the venous network of the soleal veins. This study aimed to investigate how the network of soleal veins varies with the shape and thickness of the median septum and to elucidate factors predisposing soleal veins to DVT.

[A retrospective study of mechanical thrombectomy in very elderly patients over 90 years old with cerebral infarction].

We retrospectively investigated mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in nonagenarians and older with cerebral infarction. Analysis of 21 consecutive patients showed favorable outcomes (improved modified Rankin scale [mRS] 0-2 or returned prestroke mRS) in 33.3% and poor outcome (mRS 5 or 6) in 52.

Embolization of a type 2 endoleak using a micropuncture introducer set and a triple-coaxial system through the deep iliac circumflex artery via the ipsilateral femoral artery.

An 83-year-old man underwent embolization for a type 2 endoleak following endovascular aortic repair for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The type 2 endoleak originated from the left iliac circumflex artery, which was located very close to the puncture site in the left femoral artery. This proximity made the embolization procedure challenging; however, by employing a combination of a micropuncture introducer set and a triple-coaxial system, embolization with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate was successfully achieved.

[Ruptured Saccular Small Coronary Artery Aneurysm Associated with a Coronary-pulmonary Artery Fistula:Report of a Case].

The patient was an 86-year-old woman. She was brought to the emergency department because of chest pain and respiratory distress symptoms that did not improve. 12-lead electrocardiogram, echocardiography, and blood tests were negative for acute coronary syndrome, but a chest contrast computed tomography( CT) -scan showed pericardial effusion and a coronary artery aneurysm 20 mm in diameter, and punctured pericardial effusion revealed bloody fluid.
