Endovascular management of central venous catheter induced superior vena cava syndrome.

This case series describes the endovascular management of three patients with catheter-associated superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome. SVC syndrome can result from malignant (60%) or benign (40%) etiologies. The most common causes of benign SVC syndrome are indwelling central venous catheters (CVCs) with 1%-3% and 0.

The importance of treating non-pulmonary vein (PV) foci is increasing with improvements in the durability of PV isolation. We describe two cases wherein non-PV foci were induced by mechanical irritation and conventional induction in the same area, which was impossible to induce after ablation, suggesting a relationship between mechanical irritation and induction of non-PV foci. In a recurrent case of non-PV foci, atrial fibrillation (AF) was induced only by mechanical irritation.

Intraoperative central venous catheter (CVC) insertion has become a routine procedure for pediatric cardiac surgery patients at our center. The case in which large amounts of pericardial effusion resulting in cardiac tamponade other than direct puncture of the catheter is a rare, but often causes fatal complications. Two of our patients suffered cardiac collapse after surgery owing to cardiac tamponade.

Candidemia is the most common form of invasive fungal infection associated with several risk factors, and one of them is the use of medical devices, to which microbial biofilms can attach. Candidemia related to the use of peripheral intravascular and central venous catheters (CVC) is referred to as catheter-related bloodstream infection, with more than 90% being related to CVC usage. The infection is associated with a higher morbidity and mortality rate than nosocomial bacterial infections.

Article Synopsis
- Central venous catheters, especially in cancer patients, are vulnerable to clotting, and the effectiveness of anticoagulants like apixaban and rivaroxaban for preventing this is unclear.
- The study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of these oral anticoagulants against enoxaparin in preventing catheter-induced thrombosis using a microplate-based assay.
- Results showed that apixaban and rivaroxaban were over 20 times
