Article Abstract
Background: Haemodynamics plays an important role in the development of vascular disease. There is currently a lack of studies evaluating the characteristics and affecting factors of the iliac vein haemodynamics in clinical practice.
Objective: The goal of this study was to use 4D flow MRI to explore the haemodynamic characteristics of iliac veins and its affecting factors in an asymptomatic population.
Methods: Thirty consecutive volunteers without venous-related symptoms or signs underwent four-dimensional postprocessing of their MRI images. Relevant parameters, the demographic data, common iliac vein-inferior vena cava angle, iliac vein area, tortuosity, iliac vein mean flow, mean velocity was computed and analysed. T tests and Spearman's tests were used for analysing. A P value of 0.05 or less was considered significant.
Results: Height and iliac vein area were positively correlated with flow, while degree of stenosis, and common iliac-inferior vena cava angle were negatively correlated with that. Degree of stenosis was positively correlated with velocity, but the common iliac-inferior vena cava angle and iliac vein tortuosity were negatively correlated with that. The mean flow and velocity of iliac veins in females were lower than males. The mean flow and velocity of the left iliac veins were lower than those of the right.
Conclusion: The height, gender, tortuosity, degree of stenosis, common iliac vein-inferior vena cava angle of the iliac vein are important factors that affect flow and velocity of the iliac veins. There were differences in haemodynamic parameters of the bilateral iliac veins.

Disseminated Tuberculosis Complicated by Pulmonary Thromboembolism.

Respiratory Medicine, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai, IND.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a multisystem infectious disease with both pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations. TB can also induce a hypercoagulable state, setting off a cascade of changes in the body, including systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and abnormalities in the coagulation and fibrinolytic pathways. Collectively, these factors significantly increase the risk of venous thromboembolism, such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

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.

A 49-year-old female presented with subacute onset of severe worsening bilateral lower extremity swelling. Bilateral iliac venous thrombus and extensive thrombus of the inferior vena cava with extension to the right atrium and bilateral segmental pulmonary emboli was identified on imaging. She was initiated on therapeutic anticoagulation prior to undergoing percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy with the RevCore TM device (Inari Medical, Irvine, CA) with retrieval of white, relatively well-formed organized clot vs mass.

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).
