Background: We sought to evaluate the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in a community hospital setting.
Methods: Data were analyzed among patients with lower extremity DVT who underwent MT from December 1, 2021 to December 1, 2022.
Results: A total of 1263 patients were evaluated and only 8.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a case involving a 78-year-old man with stable angina due to a chronic total occlusion (CTO) in the left circumflex coronary artery, treated using advanced techniques.
- It highlights the successful use of tip detection-antegrade dissection re-entry (TDADR) guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) as an alternative when the subintimal tracking and re-entry (STAR) technique failed to recanalize the main vessel.
- At the 12-month follow-up, the patient reported no angina, and imaging showed that the treated areas remained open with no significant restenosis, though challenges like limited access to IVUS may hinder broader use of TDADR.

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a clotting disorder characterized by the presence of neutralizing antibodies that inhibit factor VIII, resulting in increased bleeding risk. Known etiologies include malignancy, autoimmune conditions, graft-vs-host disease, and more recently coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. In this case report, we describe an 86-year-old female who was found to have AHA incidentally during preoperative workup for meningioma resection.
