Factors Affecting Outcomes of Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty for Central Vein Occlusive Disease in the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital: A 10-Year Experience.
Acta Med Philipp

Division of Thoracic, Cardiac and Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital, University of the Philippines Manila.
Objective: To describe the treatment outcomes of patients who underwent Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) for Central Vein Occlusive Disease (CVOD) in end-stage kidney disease and determine the association between patient profile and treatment outcomes.
Methods: A single-institution, retrospective review of patients aged 18 and above with end-stage kidney disease who underwent PTA for CVOD in the University of the Philippines - Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2022, was performed. These patients' demographic and clinical profiles were evaluated using means, frequencies, and percentages.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different treatments (balloon angioplasty vs. drug-coated balloons) affect the changes in blood vessel tissues following arteriovenous fistula stenosis in pigs with chronic kidney disease.
- Significant differences in tissue composition were observed, with drug-coated balloons leading to lower neointimal growth and higher endothelial cell counts compared to standard angioplasty.
- The findings suggest that using drug-coated balloons may improve vessel healing and reduce complications over time, as shown by varied immune cell responses and tissue growth patterns.
The ligamentous cervical instability etiology of human disease from the forward head-facedown lifestyle: emphasis on obstruction of fluid flow into and out of the brain.

Caring Medical Florida, Fort Myers, FL, United States.
Ligamentous cervical instability, especially ligamentous upper cervical instability, can be the missing structural cause and/or co-morbidity for many chronic disabling brain and systemic body symptoms and diagnoses. Due to the forward head-facedown lifestyle from excessive computer and cell phone usage, the posterior ligament complex of the cervical spine undergoes a slow stretch termed "creep" which can, over time, lead to cervical instability and a breakdown of the cervical curve. As this degenerative process continues, the cervical curve straightens and ultimately becomes kyphotic, a process called cervical dysstructure; simultaneously, the atlas (C1) moves forward, both of which can lead to encroachment of the structures in the carotid sheath, especially the internal jugular veins and vagus nerves.

Introduction/background: Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare entity that is caused by an obstruction of the flow in the hepatic veins or inferior vena cava.
Case Presentation: Herein, we report a rare case of iatrogenic Budd-Chiari syndrome. A 52-year-old woman with chronic renal failure under hemodialysis, presented to our hospital for dyspnea caused by a large pleural effusion.

Introduction: There is no prior report of an Aveir leadless pacemaker implantation into the atrial appendage via the internal jugular vein.
Case: A 44-year-old female patient with history of multiple ablations for sinus node dysfunction presented with symptomatic bradycardia. The patient had femoral veins <9mm, chronic pain at the femoral vein insertion sites, as well as a recent car accident with persistent leg pain due to femoral fractures.
