Article Abstract
Pulmonary venous developmental anomalies have historically been evaluated using echocardiography and catheter-based angiography. In recent years, however, multidetector CT angiography (MDCTA) and MR angiography have become increasingly important tools for detailed characterization of these anomalies. This case report provides an in-depth review of the radiologic findings in a 15-year-old patient diagnosed with the supracardiac type of Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC). The report emphasizes the imaging features that were instrumental in the diagnosis and underscores the crucial role of advanced imaging techniques in the management of this serious congenital heart defect.

Monash Imaging, Monash Health, VIC, Clayton, Australia.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of absorbable haemostatic gelatin uterine artery embolisation for symptomatic acquired uterine arterio-venous malformation (UAVM).
Methods: All the adult female patients who had acute urogenital bleeding due to UAVM confirmed on ultrasound and received uterine artery embolisation (UAE) for UAVM in a tertiary institution between January 2000 and October 2024 were included. Patients who had UAE for other causes were excluded.
Catheter-Based Thrombectomy for Clot-In-Transit and Massive Pulmonary Embolism In A Young Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Inflammation as A Hidden Catalyst for Catastrophic Thromboembolism.

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition with well-defined management strategies; however, the presence of a clot-in-transit (CIT)-a mobile thrombus within the right heart-introduces a uniquely high-risk scenario associated with a significantly elevated mortality rate. While several therapeutic approaches are available-including anticoagulation, systemic thrombolysis, surgical embolectomy, and catheter-directed therapies-there is no established consensus on a superior treatment modality. Catheter-based mechanical thrombectomy has emerged as a promising, minimally invasive alternative that mitigates the bleeding risks of systemic thrombolysis and the invasiveness of surgery.

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.

We present a rare anatomical variation of the deep femoral vein (DFV) originating from the popliteal vein (PV) with an associated aneurysm. The DFV arose from the PV at the adductor hiatus, exhibited an aneurysm, and coursed upward through the fourth osseo-aponeurotic opening of the adductor magnus muscle to enter the anterior thigh compartment before draining into the femoral vein. This unique variation likely resulted from developmental deviations during intrauterine life.
