A Comprehensive Review of Catheter-Related Thrombosis.
J Clin Med

Venous Thromboembolism Unit, Internal Medicine Department, Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón, 28007 Madrid, Spain.
Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a frequent and potentially serious complication associated with the widespread use of intravascular devices such as central venous catheters, including peripherally inserted central catheters and implantable port systems, pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. Although CRT management has been informed by guidelines extrapolated from lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), unique challenges remain due to the distinct anatomical, pathophysiological, and clinical characteristics of upper extremity DVT. Risk factors for CRT are multifactorial, encompassing patient-related characteristics such as cancer, prior venous thromboembolism, and infection, as well as catheter-specific factors like device type, lumens, and insertion site.

A leadless pacemaker (LP) is a modern alternative to a transvenous pacemaker, allowing certain complications to be avoided; however, some cannot be eliminated. To highlight the essential role of advanced speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) in diagnosing pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) caused by an LP. A 79-year-old male, after LP implantation a year earlier, was admitted due to heart failure (HF).

Considering the persistence of the AVB, it was decided to implant a permanent pacemaker. After considering all available options and the issues related to the patient, it was decided to implant a leadless pacemaker (LLP).

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using the NAVITOR system has been relatively underreported due to its recent introduction in Japan. This study aimed to assess the short-term outcomes of TAVI with the NAVITOR in real-world clinical practice. Patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVI using the NAVITOR system at our institution between December 2022 and December 2023 were prospectively enrolled.

Department of Cardiology, Hangzhou First People's Hospital, #261 Huansha Road, Hangzhou, 310000, Zhejiang Province, China.
Background: To investigate the optimization of leadless pacemaker placement and to assess its impact on heart synchronization and tricuspid regurgitation.
Results: A clinical trial was conducted involving 53 patients who underwent leadless pacemaker implantation at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Hangzhou First People's Hospital between March 2022 and February 2023. Implantation site localization was determined using the 18-segment method under RAO 30° imaging.
