AI Article Synopsis

  • - A suture-mediated vascular closure device helps stop bleeding in the femoral vein after catheter ablation procedures.
  • - There are some unclear risks of venous complications related to this device, specifically femoral vein occlusion and stenosis.
  • - In two reported cases, patients experienced these complications but successfully underwent surgical repair and regained proper venous flow.

Article Abstract

A suture-mediated vascular closure device is useful for hemostasis of the femoral vein after catheter ablation; however, venous complications remain unclear. We encountered 2 cases of femoral vein occlusion and stenosis using a suture-mediated vascular closure device. Both patients underwent surgical repair and recovered venous flow. ().

Objective: Superior vena cava syndrome (SVC) is a debilitating disease, and surgical reconstruction has been described with some of the best results using spiral great saphenous vein (SGSV) grafts. SGSV grafts can be difficult to construct, and a long segment of saphenous vein is needed. Femoral vein has been an excellent conduit for infected aortic and peripheral reconstructions in our hands, and we sought to review outcomes using this conduit for SVC reconstruction.

Uncontrollable non-compressible hemorrhage and traumatic infection have been major causes of mortality and disability in both civilian and military populations. A dressing designed for point-of-care control of non-compressible hemorrhage and prevention of traumatic infections represents an urgent medical need. Here, a novel self-gelling sponge OHN@ε-pL is developed, integrating N-succinimidyl ester oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHN) and ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-pL).

A 50-year-old female presented with a 10-day history of progressive swelling and pain in the left lower extremity, ultimately diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS). Initial ultrasound indicated thrombosis involving the left external iliac, femoral, and popliteal veins, among others. Blood tests revealed normocytic anemia, but thrombophilia screening and other blood markers were normal.
