Article Abstract
A previously healthy man, intubated in the intensive care unit (ICU) for respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), required central venous access for vasopressor infusion. The intensivists were occupied managing other critically ill patients, so an available intern attempted to place a triple-lumen catheter in the right internal jugular vein using only anatomic landmarks for guidance. When the access needle was inserted, pulsatile return of blood was noted.

Accurate tacrolimus monitoring by dual peripherally inserted central catheters in allogeneic HSCT.

Introduction: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) requires reliable vascular access for medication, transfusion, and blood sampling, which often involves painful venipuncture. This prospective study evaluated a novel dual peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) technique to reduce venipuncture frequency in allo-HSCT recipients.
Methods: The study enrolled 29 allo-HSCT recipients.
Aims: Many patients develop Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD) after undergoing the Fontan procedure-a surgical treatment for congenital heart disease such as single ventricle-owing to changes in venous pressure and cardiac output. Liver biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing FALD, but has limitations. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a popular non-invasive method for evaluating liver stiffness and fibrosis in FALD; however, no unified view exists.

Left-sided partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) may remain clinically silent and undiagnosed until incidentally identified, potentially introducing complexity in perioperative assessment and management, particularly in patients with significant comorbidities. We report the case of a 77-year-old male with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma and a history of multiple right-sided pulmonary metastasectomies. He underwent a right completion upper bilobectomy.

Objective: Catheter-related thrombosis is a common complication of central venous catheter insertion. As the use of central venous catheters increases in pediatric critical care settings, catheter-related thrombosis is becoming more common among patients who typically have multiple risk factors for thromboembolism. We aimed to investigate impact of catheter-to-vein diameter ratio on thrombosis in pediatric central venous catheterization.
