A 67-year-old female presented with shortness of breath, weight loss, abdomen, and back pain for 2 months. Ultrasound of the abdomen revealed multiple focal liver lesions. F-Fluorodeoxyglucose whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography revealed a hypermetabolic lesion in the suprahepatic inferior vena cava extending into the right atrium. Multiple hypermetabolic lesions were seen in liver, bones, and abdominal lymph nodes, suggestive of metastases. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry of the lesions revealed it to be metastatic leiomyosarcoma.

Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University;
Hepatic insulin clearance is essential for maintaining glucose homeostasis and is closely linked to metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. Accurate measurement of insulin clearance is vital for understanding the underlying mechanisms of these conditions. This protocol presents a straightforward and user-friendly hepatic perfusion procedure in mice, specifically designed to directly evaluate the hepatic insulin clearance rate.

Introduction: There is a risk of iatrogenic vascular injuries during robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of diaphragmatic endometriosis. Although studies are limited, the first reported case of a suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) injury during robotic diaphragmatic endometriosis excision was successfully treated using a fibrin sealant patch, preventing exsanguination and conversion to laparotomy.
Case Description: A 36-year-old female with a history of recurrent catamenial pneumothorax and two prior video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries to treat diaphragmatic endometriosis presented to our clinic with right-sided shoulder pain and a chest tube in place.

Injuries to the inferior vena cava (IVC) carry high risks and mortality rates. We present a case of suprahepatic IVC injury that was successfully treated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft insertion without cardiopulmonary bypass. A 46-year-old woman was transferred to our trauma centre after a high-speed motor vehicle collision.

Background And Objectives: This study evaluates the prognostic value of venous tumor thrombus (VTT) in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) undergoing radical resection and inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy.
Methods: Retrospective review of patients with radical nephrectomy for RCC and associated VTT (2000-2024). Patients were dichotomized into Neves 0-II (infrahepatic) and Neves III-IV groups (suprahepatic) IVC involvement for univariate analysis.
