In patients with end-stage renal disease, temporary placement of venous catheters for haemodialysis (HD) is often necessary, and the right internal jugular (RIJ) vein is the usual preferred site of HD catheter placement. We report here a patient who experienced complications because of the development of a pseudoaneurysm of the transverse cervical artery following an apparently uneventful RIJ vein cannulation for temporary HD, using the blind landmark-guided technique. This is a rare complication of RIJ vein cannulation and HD catheter placement. The pseudoaneurysm presented 3 weeks after the procedure and was diagnosed by using colour-Doppler ultrasound, followed by an angiogram, and it was successfully occluded using endovascular coil embolization.

Transjugular transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair in a patient with functional mitral regurgitation: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Sendai Kousei Hospital, 1-20 Tsutsumidori-amamiya, Aoba Ward, Sendai, Miyagi 9810914, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (M-TEER) using the MitraClip system is usually done via the transfemoral approach, but the transjugular approach can be a viable alternative when the former isn't possible.
- A 57-year-old man with heart failure and severe functional mitral regurgitation could not undergo the transfemoral approach due to an occluded inferior vena cava, leading to the decision to use the transjugular technique instead.
- The procedure was successful with no complications, significantly reducing the patient's mitral regurgitation, and he showed sustained improvement a year later.
Background: Inadvertent intra-arterial injection of sclerosants is an uncommon adverse event of both ultrasound-guided and direct vision sclerotherapy. This complication can result in significant tissue or limb loss and significant long-term morbidity.
Objectives: To provide recommendations for diagnosis and immediate management of an unintentional intra-arterial injection of sclerosing agents.
Bidirectional perforators in the lower limb are not physiologically normal: A brief commentary.

The suggestion that bidirectional flow is a normal feature seen in venous perforators of the lower leg has been a longstanding debate. Newer published evidence has changed the perspective on normal perforator flow and is presented here to resolve the misunderstandings and different viewpoints previously held.

Am J Cardiol
January 2024
Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a handheld ultrasound score for estimating right atrial (RA) pressure in obese heart failure patients prior to right-sided cardiac catheterization.
- It involved 123 patients who were evaluated using a 3-point scoring system that incorporated right internal jugular (RIJ) and inferior vena cava (IVC) measurements, showing improved accuracy for those with obesity.
- The 3-point score demonstrated a higher performance in identifying elevated RA pressure in obese patients, stressing the importance of thorough evaluations in this population for accurate noninvasive assessments of their volume status.
