Critical deep venous thrombosis and occlusion constitutes a small percentage of patients with venous disease. However, these patients exhibit severe symptomatology including pain and extensive edema that may progress to limb- or life-threatening complications such as phlegmasia cerulea dolens and superior vena cava syndrome. This paper reviews the different multimodal percutaneous interventions currently available for the treatment of complex critical venous thrombotic and occlusive disease.

Thromboprophylaxis in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated with chemoradiation and brachytherapy.
Gynecol Oncol
January 2025
Department of Radiation-Oncology, Catharina Hospital, Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
Objective: To determine the incidence of clinical and subclinical venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) treated with high-dose thromboprophylaxis during definitive chemoradiation and brachytherapy.
Methods: A prospective observational study was undertaken from August 2021 to December 2023 in patients with primary LACC treated with definitive chemoradiation in two Dutch tertiary hospitals. Patients received high-dose thromboprophylaxis during chemoradiation and brachytherapy.

Background: New catheter materials for peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) may reduce the risk of device failure due to infectious, thrombotic, and catheter occlusion events. However, data from randomized trials comparing these catheters are lacking.
Methods: We conducted a randomized, controlled, superiority trial in three Australian tertiary hospitals.

Department of Gastroenterology, Peking University First Hospital, No. 8 Xishiku Street, Xicheng District, Beijing 100034, China.
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), can affect the hepatobiliary system and pancreas, substantially impacting the life quality of patients.
Objectives: To evaluate the quality of evidence and comprehensively assess the validity of associations of IBD with hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases.
Design: We performed an umbrella review of existing meta-analyses in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations.
Upper Limb Deep Venous Thrombosis Associated With Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters in Hospitalised Surgical Patients.

Cardiology, Wexham Park Hospital, Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, Slough, GBR.
Introduction Surgical inpatients frequently require peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) for parenteral feeding and administration of medication. PICCs may cause upper limb deep venous thrombosis (ULDVT), which impacts patient morbidity. We investigated the risk and prevention of PICC-ULDVT in hospitalised surgical inpatients.
