Pregnancy Complicated by Extrahepatic Portal Vein Occlusion and Portal Vein Thrombosis: A Case Report.
Cureus
October 2024
Obstetrics and Gynecology, Iwate Medical University, Yahaba-cho, JPN.
We report the case of a 38-year-old woman with a history of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) who became pregnant and developed portal vein thrombosis. She gave birth after intervention by gastroenterology and cardiology. She was referred to our department due to significant leg edema at eight weeks of gestation, and we noticed EHPVO, portal vein thrombosis, and left pulmonary arteriovenous fistula by contrast-enhanced CT.

Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi
September 2024
Department of Vascular Surgery, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, Shanghai 200003, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a varicose vein sealant kit for treating dysfunction in the great saphenous vein through a randomized controlled trial involving 180 patients across 9 hospitals.
- Participants were divided into an experimental group, which used the sealant kit, and a control group, which received radiofrequency ablation, with their outcomes compared after surgery.
- The main focus was on the complete closure rate of the great saphenous vein at 3 months post-surgery, along with other secondary measures, including pain levels and overall complication rates, to determine if the sealant kit was as effective as traditional methods.
A jugular venous compression adjunct for surgical excision of distensible orbital venous malformations.
Orbit
August 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Xi'an Fourth Hospital, Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province, China.
Article Synopsis
- Orbital venous malformations (VM) are difficult to completely remove during surgery due to their unclear edges and tendency to bleed, prompting the exploration of neck compression as a method to enhance surgical excision efficiency.
- In a study involving 18 patients, neck compression was applied before the surgical process to help distend the venous lesions, facilitating embolization using a specific glue under general anesthesia.
- Results showed that 12 patients had complete lesion removal, with significant symptom relief for 17 patients; however, minor complications were reported, indicating that this technique is generally safe and effective for treating orbital venous malformations.
SOLAMEN syndrome with cardiovascular damage.
Hereditas
July 2024
Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, The Children's Hospital, National Clinical Research Center, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Zhejiang Hangzhou, PR China.
Article Synopsis
- SOLAMEN syndrome is a rare congenital disorder marked by progressive, multi-system issues like overgrowth, lipomatosis, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), and epidermal nevus, primarily linked to a PTEN gene mutation.
- The syndrome’s symptoms can overlap with other conditions, making diagnosis tricky and often leading to misdiagnoses such as Klippel-Trenaunay or Parks-Weber syndromes.
- A specific case of a child with various symptoms including macrocephaly and significant AVM was documented; genetic sequencing confirmed a PTEN mutation and highlighted the need for regular health evaluations and potential treatments due to the risk of AVM progression and cardiac defects.
Quantitative evaluation of lower limb varicose veins using photoacoustic imaging.
J Med Ultrason (2001)

Department of Radiology, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Purpose: Varicose veins in the lower extremities are dilated subcutaneous varicose veins with a diameter of ≥ 3 mm, caused by increased venous pressure resulting from backflow of blood due to venous valve insufficiency (Gloviczki in Handbook of venous disorders: guidelines of the American venous forum, Hodder Arnold, London, 2009). When diagnosing varicose veins, the shape and thickness of the blood vessels should be accurately visualized in three dimensions. In this study, we investigated a new method for numerical evaluation of vascular morphology related to varicose veins in the lower extremities, using a photoacoustic imaging (PAI) system, which can acquire high-resolution and three-dimensional images noninvasively.
