Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation is a recognized treatment for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes and advanced chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), offering significant survival benefits. However, it is associated with a higher risk of venous thrombosis, which can jeopardize the survival of the pancreaticoduodenal graft. This case report describes a patient with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and ESRD who developed acute, occlusive deep vein thrombosis (DVT) involving the right common femoral, profunda femoral, and greater saphenous veins on postoperative day 1 (POD1) following a deceased donor SPK transplant, despite systemic prophylactic anticoagulation.

Background: No-reflow is a critical adverse event associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly during saphenous vein graft (SVG) procedures. The Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) reflects inflammatory status, but its relationship with no-reflow remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between NPS and no-reflow occurrence following SVG PCI.

Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading cause of 16% of deaths globally. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are the main treatment options. Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) remain the most frequently used conduits for CABG.

Unlabelled: Intervention to proximal lesions should be avoided in graft-protected native coronary arteries in general, because there might be a risk for bypass-graft failure. An 81-year-old man with coronary artery bypass grafting surgery due to 3-vessel disease 17 years previously complained of worsening angina. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed a diseased saphenous vein graft (SVG) and a probable functional occlusion in the mid left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) concomitant with calcified severe stenosis in the left main (LM)-proximal LAD, and patent right internal thoracic artery (RITA)-LAD graft.
