VA-ECOM assisted percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy treatment high-risk pulmonary embolism.

Background: Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) is increasingly used in the treatment of intermediate and high-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE), and the treatment of high-risk PE with the aid of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has also been reported. However, there are few reports of VA-ECOM-assisted PMT in the treatment of high-risk PE. The purpose of this study is to summarize the data of 11 patients with high-risk PE treated with VA-ECMO assisted PMT, and propose feasible treatment methods for such patients.

Endovascular Repair Blunt Thoracic Aortic Injury in Adolescent: A Case Series.

Background: Blunt traumatic aortic injury (BTAI) is a rare occurrence in adolescents, yet it is associated with a high mortality rate necessitating immediate treatment. Although endovascular repair has become the preferred treatment for such injuries in adults, its effectiveness in adolescents remains uncertain.

Case Summary: Blunt traumatic aortic injury typically presents with concomitant injuries to other organs and carries a high perioperative mortality rate with operative repair (OR).

Persistent Sciatic Artery in Right Lower Extremity Complicated by Thrombosis: A Case Report.

Purpose: Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital vascular malformation with an incidence of approximately 0.025% to 0.04%.

Benign symmetric lipomatosis (Madelung's disease) with concomitant incarcerated femoral hernia: A case report.

Background: Benign symmetric lipomatosis (BSL) was first described by Brodie in 1846 and defined as Madelung's disease by Madelung in 1888. At present, about 400 cases have been reported worldwide. Across these cases, surgical resection remains the recommended treatment.

Endovascular Repair of an Aneurysm Arising from a Celiomesenteric Trunk.

Celiac axis (CA) aneurysm is a rare vascular condition, consisting of only 3.6-4% of visceral artery aneurysms but is frequently life threatening and can result in death. A celiomesenteric trunk (CMT) is an anatomic anomaly in which the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries arise from a common trunk.

Spontaneous rupture of the left common iliac vein.

A 63-year-old woman was admitted because she presented with acute lower abdominal pain and left leg pain without any history of trauma. Lower extremity venous duplex ultrasound demonstrated deep vein thrombosis in the left lower extremity. Computed tomography scan revealed high-density, irregular clumps in the pelvic region and a soft-tissue mass shadow in the right lower abdomen.
