Administering intraluminal fluid can improve the acoustic window for the visualization of the lumen and wall layers in the cavitary organs. Microbubbles in ultrasound contrast agents can also be used for intracavitary applications to enhance visualization of the lesion in human patients. However, there was no literature extending the clinical application of intraluminal contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) to patients with naturally occurring diseases in veterinary medicine. This case series aims to describe the detailed application and diagnostic value of intraluminal CEUS in six clinical cases with naturally occurring gastrointestinal (GI) and urinary tract diseases.

Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan.
Purpose: In managing type 2 endoleak (T2EL) following endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), an indication for reintervention is aneurysm enlargement (AnE). A previous study found that low D-dimer levels (DDLs) at 1 year were associated with reduced AnE risk in patients with persistent T2ELs (pT2ELs). This study analyzed patients with pT2ELs to determine the correlation between DDLs at annual follow-ups and AnE and proposed a follow-up protocol incorporating DDL monitoring.

Spontaneous esophageal rupture, also known as Boerhaave syndrome, represents an unusual yet clinically significant condition characterized by the rupture of the esophageal wall due to a sudden increase in intraluminal pressure, typically induced by vomiting, concomitant with negative intrathoracic pressure dynamics. This condition poses a challenging clinical entity, presenting high mortality rates, especially when treatment is delayed. Surgical intervention is frequently employed as the primary management strategy, while non-surgical approaches, including stent placement and endoluminal vacuum therapy, are less commonly utilized.
