External jugular vein thrombosis is a rare vascular event which may lead fatal complication such as sepsis and pulmonary embolism. Its relation to the visceral solid tumor as an etiologic factor has been established well. Although external jugular vein thrombosis may be seen in malignancy, it is unusual to see as a sign of breast cancer. Most of the external jugular vein thrombosis occurs secondary to compression of the vein. Vascular thrombosis due to hypercoagulability is known as Trousseau syndrome. Herein, we present a case of metastatic breast cancer which presented with external jugular vein thrombosis; Trousseau syndrome.

Current Evidence for the Use of Jugular Vein Compression Collars in Sport: A Systematic Review.
Curr Sports Med Rep
January 2025
Lincoln Memorial University, Orange Park, FL.
Sport-related concussions are a common type of brain injury, and the best treatment is prevention. Recently, external jugular vein compression collars have been worn by National Football League players, but the current evidence is limited. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first comprehensive, up-to-date systematic review addressing the use of jugular vein compression collars for decreasing concussion incidence in high-impact sports and activities.

Objectives: To assess the use of occipital vessels for microvascular anastomosis in head and neck free tissue transfer reconstruction.
Methods: A literature search was undertaken to identify studies utilizing the occipital vessels for microvascular anastomosis in free tissue transfer. Following literature review, 30 anatomic cadaveric dissections on 15 fresh unfixed cadavers were performed to evaluate the occipital artery and identify a reliable vein within reasonable proximity.
Techniques of Oncovascular Reconstruction of Portal and Mesenteric Veins during Pancreatic and Hepatobiliary Surgery.

Major vessel invasion, particularly involving the portal and superior mesenteric veins, poses significant challenges during the radical resection of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers. Oncovascular surgery is essential for curative outcomes, and often requires portomesenteric vein reconstruction. Techniques, such as lateral venorrhaphy, patch repair, end-to-end anastomosis, and interposition grafting, have been employed.

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.
