The vertical vein is sometimes left open in repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. It usually closes later but can remain patent leading to a significant shunt. We describe a recanalized vertical vein in a 7-year-old having undergone repair in infancy. It was closed using an Amplatzer device.

Quantitative analysis of choroidal vascular structures and anatomical changes in pachychoroid spectrum diseases using ultra-widefield SS-OCTA.
Sci Rep
January 2025
The Department of Ophthalmology, General Hospital of Central Theater Command, No. 627 Wuluo Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan, 430000, Hubei, China.
This study used ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF SS-OCTA) to analyze and compare choroidal blood flow and anatomical changes in eyes affected by central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV), and uncomplicated pachychoroid (UCP). The findings revealed distribution patterns of vortex veins across the three patient groups and provided initial findings insights into the origin of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in PNV. A total of 44 patients with CSC, 38 with PNV, and 46 with UCP were included in the analysis.

Background: The vertical vein (VV) ligation during the total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) correction is still controversial. Our study aimed to define the potential risk factors for VV persistence and their percutaneous occlusion.
Methods: The retrospective cohort study included 40 patients (26 males) with TAPVR treated at the tertiary referral center from 2005 to 2024.
Arthroscopic Reconstruction of the Acetabular Labrum Using an Autograft Hip Capsule.

Background: Whereas uncomplicated labral tears with preserved fibers can be effectively treated with use of labral repair techniques, complex tears and hypoplastic labra require labral reconstruction. Standard reconstruction techniques feature grafted tissue that is added to existing, deficient tissue or that is utilized to replace a hypoplastic labrum entirely. However, such approaches utilizing allografts or remote autografts are limited because they often necessitate extensive debridement of the existing labrum to prepare a site for graft implantation, an approach that can damage and devascularize the chondrolabral junction.

Article Synopsis
- - The study assesses the effectiveness of fetal MRI in diagnosing total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) and its impact on fetal brain development by comparing brain volumes in affected fetuses to normal controls and those with another heart condition, tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).
- - Among 21 TAPVC fetuses studied, the majority were classified as supracardiac or intracardiac, with significant post-natal confirmation of cases, while some fetuses also presented other cardiac abnormalities.
- - Key MRI findings included a dilated coronary sinus and pulmonary edema, with notable differences in brain volumes where TAPVC fetuses exhibited lower cerebellum and brainstem volumes compared to controls, alongside an increase in subc

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the spatial relationships between key venous structures and the surface markers relevant to hemodialysis puncture catheterization, utilizing data from seventy cadavers.
- Quantitative analysis reveals linear correlations between the angles of the vertical axis with the superior vena cava and venous structures, and various anatomical distances, aiding in understanding vascular puncture techniques.
- Findings offer important insights that could improve intubation guidance by detailing how several anatomical parameters influence positioning for successful catheterization.
