Breast reduction surgery is a commonly performed procedure relieving physical discomfort and improving quality of life for individuals with macromastia. Despite its benefits, there are inherent risks associated with surgical intervention, one of which is the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This relatively rare complication can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if not recognized and managed properly.

Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, Penn State Health, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, PA, USA.
Background: There is a paucity of literature discussing anticoagulation prescribing patterns after upper extremity orthopedic surgery. The purpose of this study is to use a large national database to identify trends in adverse events and anticoagulation prescribing following orthopedic shoulder surgery.
Materials And Methods: The TriNetX Research Network was utilized to identify all patients undergoing orthopedic shoulder surgery between January 2004 and December 2022.

Introduction: There is currently no consensus on the optimal surgical approach for the treatment of venous thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS). Surgical exposures for vTOS decompression include infraclavicular (IC), supraclavicular (SC), paraclavicular (PC), and transaxillary (AX) approaches. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of the outcomes and major complications of these four surgical techniques.

Department of Neurological Surgery, Brooke Army Medical Center, United States of America.
Introduction: Patients in the neurological intensive care unit (ICU) are at an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Anticoagulation is often indicated because deep venous thrombosis (DVT) can develop into pulmonary embolism (PE). However, anticoagulation also increases the risk of intracranial bleeding.

Department of Radiology, Section of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, University of Washington, 1959 Northeast Pacific Street, Seattle, WA, 98195, USA.
Purpose: To evaluate access site adverse events following ClotTriever-mediated large-bore mechanical thrombectomy via small upper extremity deep veins (< 6-mm).
Materials And Methods: Twenty patients, including 24 upper extremity venous access sites, underwent ClotTriever-mediated large-bore thrombectomy of the upper extremity and thoracic central veins for symptomatic deep vein obstruction unresponsive to anticoagulation. Patients without follow-up venous duplex examinations (n = 3) were excluded.
