The optimal medical management of patients following endovascular deep venous interventions remains ill-defined. As such, the Society of Interventional Radiology Foundation (SIRF) convened a multidisciplinary group of experts in a virtual Research Consensus Panel (RCP) to develop a prioritized research agenda regarding antithrombotic therapy following deep venous interventions. The panelists presented the gaps in knowledge followed by discussion and ranking of research priorities based on clinical relevance, overall impact, and technical feasibility. The following research topics were identified as high priority: 1) characterization of biological processes leading to in-stent stenosis/rethrombosis; 2) identification and validation of methods to assess venous flow dynamics and their effect on stent failure; 3) elucidation of the role of inflammation and anti-inflammatory therapies; and 4) clinical studies to compare antithrombotic strategies and improve venous outcome assessment. Collaborative, multicenter research is necessary to answer these questions and thereby enhance the care of patients with venous disease.

Endovascular therapy versus anticoagulation alone for subacute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis.

J Vasc Interv Radiol

December 2024

Department of Vascular Surgery, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China; Vascular Center of Shanghai JiaoTong University, Shanghai, China. Electronic address:

Purpose: This study evaluated whether endovascular therapy (ET) improved early symptom relief and decreased the incidence of moderate-to-severe post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) compared to anticoagulation alone in patients with subacute (15-28 days) iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Materials And Methods: Consecutive patients with subacute iliofemoral DVT from January 2020 to June 2022 were identified. A total of 86 patients were categorized to treatment with ET alongside anticoagulation (endovascular group, n = 49) or anticoagulation alone (anticoagulation group, n = 37).

Predicting lack of clinical improvement following varicose vein ablation using machine learning.

J Vasc Surg Venous Lymphat Disord

December 2024

Department of Surgery, University of Toronto, Canada; Division of Vascular Surgery, St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto, Canada; Institute of Medical Science, University of Toronto, Canada; Temerty Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education in Medicine (T-CAIREM), University of Toronto, Canada; Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto, Canada; Department of Surgery, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Saudi Arabia. Electronic address:

Objective: Varicose vein ablation is generally indicated in patients with active/healed venous ulcers. However, patient selection for intervention in individuals without venous ulcers is less clear. Tools that predict lack of clinical improvement (LCI) following vein ablation may help guide clinical decision-making but remain limited.

Brush sign (BS) was first reported as prominent hypointensity of deep medullary veins and subependymal veins on T2*-weighted images at 3 T MRI in patients with acute stroke in the territory of the middle cerebral artery. Subsequently, BS in central nervous system (CNS) diseases such as moyamoya disease, cerebral venous thrombosis, and Sturge-Weber syndrome was also described on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), and the clinical implications of BS were discussed. The purpose of this review is to demonstrate BS on SWI in various CNS diseases and its mechanisms in the above-mentioned diseases.

Innovative modified-net architecture: enhanced segmentation of deep vein thrombosis.

Sci Rep

December 2024

School of Electronics Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, 632014, Tamilnadu, India.

A new era for diagnosing and treating Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) relies on precise segmentation from medical images. Our research introduces a novel algorithm, the Modified-Net architecture, which integrates a broad spectrum of architectural components tailored to detect the intricate patterns and variances in DVT imaging data. Our work integrates advanced components such as dilated convolutions for larger receptive fields, spatial pyramid pooling for context, residual and inception blocks for multiscale feature extraction, and attention mechanisms for highlighting key features.

Background: Trauma and pregnancy are both risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). We hypothesized that pregnant blunt trauma patients would have a higher incidence of VTE complications compared with matched nonpregnant females.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using National Trauma Data Bank data from 2017 to 2022.
