A 71-year-old man was admitted to our institution having a HCC with tumor thrombus extending to the inferior vena cava. He simultaneously had a sigmoid colon cancer. S8 segmentectomy combined with a removal of tumor thrombus in the IVC and sigmoidectomy was performed. He had an uneventful postoperative course. He had a recurrence to the lung 46 months after the surgery, and underwent a pulmonary partial resection. Hepatic recurrence was found in 59 months after the initial surgery. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization was performed for the treatment. The patient died of esophageal variceal rupture 78 months after the surgery. Although this case was a highly advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava and synchronous sigmoid colon cancer, a surgical treatment and multidisciplinary therapy may contribute to a long-term survival.

Backgrounds: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is a disease entity comprising Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE). VTE events increase the mortality rate of patients with cancer receiving platinum-based chemotherapy. Soluble P-Selectin, Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NET), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) are risk factors associated with DVT in malignancy patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy.

Objective: This review aimed to examine if there is any difference in the risk of thrombosis and central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) with the use of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) and conventional central venous catheters (CVC) in hematological cancer patients.
Methods: We searched the online databases of PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase for all types of studies comparing the risk of thrombosis and CLABSI between PICC and CVC. The search ended on 23rd September 2024.

Arterial cannulation, commonly performed in the radial artery, is a widely used method for continuous blood pressure monitoring. Occasionally, the axillary artery is used as an alternate site of cannulation. However, complications like occlusion can lead to adverse events and severe outcomes.

Background: V617F-mutated myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) exhibit abnormal proliferation of bone marrow progenitors and increased risk of thrombosis, specifically in splanchnic veins (SVT). The contribution of the endothelium to the development of the prothrombotic phenotype was explored.
Material And Methods: Plasma and serum samples from V617F MPN patients with (n=26) or without (n=7) thrombotic debut and different treatments, were obtained (n=33).

Portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is a poor prognostic factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, highlighting the need for an oral drug delivery system that combines convenience, simplicity, biosafety, and improved patient compliance. Leveraging the unique anatomy of the portal vein and insights from single-cell RNA sequencing of the PVTT tumor microenvironment, we developed oral pellets using CaCO@PDA nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulating both doxorubicin hydrochloride and low molecular weight heparin. These NPs target the tumor thrombus microenvironment, aiming to break down the thrombus barrier and turn the challenge of portal vein blockage into an advantage by enhancing drug delivery efficiency through oral administration.
