Inferior vena cava (IVC) atresia is a rare congenital anomaly. Standardized treatment is not well defined due to its uncommon presentation, with this pathology associated with an increased risk of unprovoked lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We present a case of a 32-year-old man who was admitted for bilateral lower extremity edema and pain and was found to have bilateral extensive iliofemoral and femoropopliteal DVT, absence of IVC filling, and extensive tortuous collateralization arising from the pelvic veins to the azygos vein. Bilateral mechanical thrombectomy and endovascular iliocaval reconstruction was performed. Three months later, the patient demonstrated widely patent iliocaval stents and the absence of DVT. Endovascular treatment of IVC atresia is feasible and optimizes the reduction of thrombus burden.

Article Synopsis
- - Postpartum venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication that can occur after childbirth, driven by factors like increased blood clotting, reduced mobility, and injury to blood vessels, leading to high risks for new mothers.
- - A case study details a 37-year-old woman with a history of recurrent clots and pregnancy issues that ultimately resulted in severe chronic venous obstruction despite various treatments, necessitating advanced procedures like stent implantation.
- - The patient's medical journey involved multiple challenges, including spontaneous abortions, a pulmonary embolism linked to contraceptive use, and serious complications during and after her last pregnancy, highlighting the importance of careful monitoring and effective prevention strategies for postpartum VTE.

Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) is an effective method for treating iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) by dissolving and removing clots, especially when anticoagulation alone isn't sufficient.
- However, the use of devices like AngioJet can lead to complications such as intravascular hemolysis and hemoglobinuria, increasing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI).
- Clinicians must be vigilant about these potential risks, provide clear information to patients about the possibility of AKI, and ensure timely referrals to nephrologists if severe kidney issues arise.
Total Iliocaval Reconstruction in a Complex Palliative Patient with Malignant Inferior Vena Cava Syndrome.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) compression secondary to mass effect is accompanied by edema, ascites, back and abdominal pain, and central nervous system symptoms. Most IVC syndrome cases described in the literature focus on the focal treatment of IVC lesions, and reports of complete iliocaval reconstructions secondary to malignant IVC syndrome in the palliative context are limited. In this case report, we describe the clinical presentation, technical approach, and symptomatic outcomes of a patient with extensive malignant compression and invasion of the iliofemoral venous system.

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma () is a rare condition, and it usually presents with acute onset neck or back pain, progressive weakness, and other symptoms of spinal cord compression. Catheter-directed thrombolysis is one option for limbs threatened by iliofemoral venous thrombosis; other options, such as venous thrombectomy (either open or percutaneous), are also available. There are few reported cases of SSEH owing to catheter-directed thrombolysis for deep venous thrombosis ().

Background: In total hip arthroplasty via the direct anterior approach, appropriate exposure is critical to allow preparation of the femur. The objective of this study was to explore the optimal soft tissue releases needed to allow broaching of the femur through a combination of experimental tests and computer simulations.
Methods: Fourteen full-body cadaveric specimens were included in this study.
