Pelvic venous disorders (PeVDs) in women can present with chronic pelvic pain, lower-extremity and vulvar varicosities, lower-extremity swelling and pain, and left-flank pain and hematuria. Multiple evidence gaps exist related to PeVDs with the consequence that nonvascular specialists rarely consider the diagnosis. Recognizing this, the Society of Interventional Radiology Foundation funded a Research Consensus Panel to prioritize a research agenda to address these gaps. This paper presents the proceedings and recommendations from that Panel.

Purpose: Pelvic ring fractures involving the iliopubic rami can cause functional impairment. Percutaneous retrograde fixation is a less invasive procedure when compared to traditional open approaches, however precise anatomical knowledge is crucial for safe screw placement. This study aims to describe the morphology of the iliopubic rami, define a safety corridor for percutaneous screw fixation, specially focusing on the relationships between the iliopubic rami and neurovascular structures.

Intraoperative venous bleeding, particularly from deep pelvic veins, can be difficult to control with suturing or standard compression. We introduce the "French toast method," a hemostatic technique that combines Hydrofit (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) with a gelatin sponge (Spongel; LTL Pharma, Tokyo, Japan). A small amount of Hydrofit is spread onto the sponge, which is then applied to the bleeding site.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and clinical applications of ultrasound-guided direct percutaneous access to ectatic abdominal veins for the embolization of vascular malformations.
Methods: The medical records, imaging studies, and procedural details were retrospectively reviewed for patients who underwent embolization procedures for vascular malformations with ultrasound-guided percutaneous access to intraabdominal veins, including pelvic, retroperitoneal, and portomesenteric veins.
Results: A total of 38 direct percutaneous vein accesses were performed across 25 procedures in 9 patients (age range: 3-58 years).

BACKGROUND The prevalence of obesity has more than doubled since 1980. Consequently, bariatric surgery rates have risen significantly, increasing the need to address its complications. Portomesenteric venous thrombosis is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication, accounting for 5% to 15% of all mesenteric ischemic events.

Rationale: Struma ovarii is a rare form of mature cystic teratoma, with malignant transformation reported in approximately 5% to 10% of cases. Transformation into follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is extremely uncommon; as a result, no standardized guidelines exist for treatment or prognosis for such cases.
Patient Concerns: A 54-year-old woman with cholelithiasis presented with upper abdominal discomfort.
