Renal vein thrombosis is the most common non-catheter-associated venous thromboembolism event in neonates, accounting for up to 20% of cases. Although mortality rates are lower than a variety of other forms of pediatric thrombosis, renal vein thrombi are associated with significant short-term and long-term sequelae. This report presents the case of a full-term neonate presenting with bilateral renal vein thrombosis with inferior vena cava involvement treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis. This case report intends to highlight the value of a multidisciplinary approach to pediatric venous thromboembolism and to outline relevant procedural details and current laboratory and imaging monitoring of catheter-directed thrombolysis.

Transplant Proc
January 2025
Servicio de Urología, Hospital Universitario Cruces, Barakaldo, Bizkaia, Spain.
Introduction: The length of the right renal vein is a crucial vascular factor in kidney transplantation. Its shorter length compared to the left renal vein complicates venous anastomosis. The aim of this article is to review the literature on this topic and provide data from our experience.

Objective: To assess tumour factors that reduce primary technical efficacy (PTE) from CT-guided renal cryoablation.
Methods: Patients were taken from the EuRECA registry between December 2014 and November 2020. To focus on tumour factors rather than individual technique, this study was limited to cases using CT and excluded procedures using cone beam, US, MRI, or laparoscopy.
Evaluation of a modified venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) protocol for estimation of venous congestion: a cohort study.

Department of Internal Medicine, University of Colorado Hospital, 12631 E 17thAvenue, Aurora, CO, 80045, USA.
Background: Understanding venous congestion is critical to the management of many illnesses, but assessing volume status can be challenging. The current gold standard for volume status assessment of right heart catheterization (RHC) is invasive, costly, and often unavailable. Venous Excess Ultrasound Score (VExUS) is a novel ultrasound protocol for to assessment of venous congestion using the inferior vena cava, hepatic, portal and renal veins.

Background: Although conventional pre-operative venography can accurately delineate venous anatomy as an alternative to ultrasound for hemodialysis access planning, it may carry a risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and progression of renal failure in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients not yet on dialysis. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pre-operative venograms in pre-end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study (2018-2022) of consecutive pre-ESKD patients who underwent staged bilateral venograms for preoperative vein mapping prior to hemodialysis access creation at a tertiary care medical center.
Nutcracker Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Hematuria.
Cureus
December 2024
Internal Medicine, Pedro Hispano Hospital, Matosinhos, PRT.
Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is an uncommon vascular condition caused by the compression of the left renal vein (LRN), which may result in venous hypertension and clinical symptoms, including hematuria, flank pain, and pelvic congestion. This report describes the case of a 30-year-old woman with recurrent painless macroscopic hematuria, ultimately diagnosed with NCS based on clinical and radiological findings. Computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed a reduced aortomesenteric angle and LRN compression without signs of severe venous hypertension or collateral circulation.
