Identification of TGFBR1 Gene Variants in Two Chinese Pedigrees with Loeys-Dietz Syndrome.

Objective: To investigate a precise treatment and related gene variants in some Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) patients with vascular disease.

Methods: Two probands (JX001-II1 and JX002-II1) diagnosed with LDS and their families were recruited. Routine blood test, antiphospholipid antibodies, immune globulins, nuclear antibodies (ANAs) and biochemical tests, and computed tomography angiography (CTA) were performed for probands.

Bare metal stent application to prevent limb occlusion in iliac arteries with severe tortuosity during an endovascular aneurysm repair: a cohort study.

Background: The risk of limb graft occlusion (LGO) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is increased by severe tortuosity of the iliac artery. A bare metal stent (BMS) may protect LGO, according to the hypothesis of this single-center retrospective analysis.

Methods: All patients undergoing elective EVAR with a bifurcated stent graft between January 2012 and June 2022 were included in this cohort study.

Calf deep veins are safe and feasible accesses for the endovascular treatment of acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.

This study was designed to assess the optimal access route for the endovascular treatment of acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis. This was a retrospective analysis of patients with acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis who underwent endovascular treatment from February 2009 to December 2020. Patients underwent non-direct calf deep vein puncture (NDCDVP) from February 2009 to December 2011 and direct calf deep vein puncture (DCDVP) from January 2012 to December 2020.

Acute right extremity deep vein thrombosis and left-sided inferior vena cava thrombosis treated by percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) combined with catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT): A case report.

Introduction: Left-sided inferior vena cava (IVC) is an uncommon condition with a prevalence rate of 0.2% to 0.5%.

A Retrospective Study Comparing Pharmacomechanical Thrombectomy with Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis for Acute Deep Venous Thrombosis.

Background: This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the clinical efficacy and safety between pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) and catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in the context of acute lower-extremity deep venous thrombosis (LEDVT).

Methods: A retrospective review of our institution's patient database spanning from February 2011 to December 2019 was performed to identify cases of acute LEDVT. The patients were categorized into 2 distinct groups based on the thrombolytic interventions administered: the PMT group, specifically denoting PMT with AngioJet in our investigation, and the CDT group.

The external jugular vein is a feasible and safe alternative access for retrieval of inferior vena cava filter.

Purpose: The purpose is to analyze whether the external jugular vein (EJV) is a feasible and safe alternative access for the retrieval IVCFs designed for the jugular approach.

Methods: This study was designed as a nonrandomized, controlled study. The patients were divided into two groups: the IJV or EJV access groups.
