Background: Increased intravascular volume has been associated with protection from acute kidney injury (AKI), but in patients with congestive heart failure, venous congestion is associated with increased AKI. We tested the hypothesis that intraoperative venous congestion is associated with AKI after cardiac surgery.

Methods: In patients enrolled in the Statin AKI Cardiac Surgery trial, venous congestion was quantified as the area under the curve (AUC) of central venous pressure (CVP) >12, 16, or 20 mm Hg during surgery (mm Hg min). AKI was defined using Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria and urine concentrations of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 ([TIMP-2]⋅[IGFBP7]), a marker of renal stress. We measured associations between venous congestion, AKI and [TIMP-2]⋅[IGFBP7], adjusted for potential confounders. Values are reported as median (25th-75th percentile).

Results: Based on KDIGO criteria, 104 of 425 (24.5%) patients developed AKI. The venous congestion AUCs were 273 mm Hg min (81-567) for CVP >12 mm Hg, 66 mm Hg min (12-221) for CVP >16 mm Hg, and 11 mm Hg min (1-54) for CVP >20 mm Hg. A 60 mm Hg min increase above the median venous congestion AUC above each threshold was independently associated with increased AKI (odds ratio=1.06; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.10; P=0.008; odds ratio=1.12; 95% CI, 1.02-1.23; P=0.013; and odds ratio=1.30; 95% CI, 1.06-1.59; P=0.012 for CVP>12, >16, and >20 mm Hg, respectively). Venous congestion before cardiopulmonary bypass was also associated with increased [TIMP-2]⋅[IGFBP7] measured during cardiopulmonary bypass and after surgery, but neither venous congestion after cardiopulmonary bypass nor venous congestion throughout surgery was associated with postoperative [TIMP-2]⋅[IGFBP7].

Conclusion: Intraoperative venous congestion was independently associated with increased AKI after cardiac surgery.

Arteriovenous fistulas of the filum terminale are rare vascular malformations that predominantly affect males and can present with various neurological symptoms. In this study, we indexed previously published cases of filum terminale arteriovenous fistulas demonstrating that endovascular and microsurgical management are both proven to be appropriate and successful treatment modalities with low complication rates. Endovascular treatment is far less invasive; however, it is associated with higher failure rates, which need to be managed surgically.

Objective: Assessing myocardial perfusion in acute myocardial infarction is important for guiding clinicians in choosing appropriate treatment strategies. Echocardiography can be used due to its direct feedback and bedside nature, but it currently faces image quality issues and an inability to differentiate coronary macro- from micro-circulation. We previously developed an imaging scheme using high frame-rate contrast-enhanced ultrasound (HFR CEUS) with higher order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) that provides dynamic perfusion and vascular flow visualization.

Budd-Chiari syndrome with obstruction in the inferior vena cava causes increased venous pressure in the azygous-hemiazygous system and paravertebral venous plexus, which is transmitted to the epidural venous plexus, devoid of the valves. It causes epidural venous plexus engorgement and venous congestion and may present rarely with low back pain or radiating pain. However, patients developing lower limb weakness as a complication of Budd-Chiari syndrome is an infrequent and severe presentation.
