Introduction: Extrauterine recurrent metastasis of Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) to major blood vessels is largely rare with few reported cases.

Case: Herein, we present a case of a 51-year-old female with recurrent LG-ESS that has metastasized after 12 years to the inferior vena cava (IVC) and extended into the right atrium and common iliac veins. Computed tomography showed an intracardiac larger thrombus within the right atrium extending into the inferior vena cava and common iliac veins.

Background: Hypopituitarism may trigger the development of acute pancreatitis (AP) through multiple mechanisms. AP may alter normal intracardiac conduction leading to an atrioventricular block. Due to the lack of similar cases, the correct timing and indication for pacemaker implantation in such a setting are unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
  • - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
  • - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.

Effective resuscitation of neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) depends on comprehensive planning, thorough understanding of physiology, vigilant monitoring, and interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve the best outcomes. Neonatal heart disease can affect cardiac structure, rhythm, or ventricular function, and may be either congenital or acquired. Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) can result in inadequate pulmonary blood flow, impaired intracardiac mixing, airway obstruction, or insufficient cardiac output.

Article Synopsis
  • Intravascular and intracardiac masses include thrombi, tumors, and vegetations, impacting the heart's chambers and circulation.
  • Treatment has traditionally been surgical or involves anticoagulation, but there's a shift towards minimally invasive techniques due to patient complexities.
  • The AngioVac System, initially for right-sided heart thrombi, has expanded its use to treat right-sided endocarditis and left-sided masses effectively.
