Article Abstract
Objective: This study sought to describe a novel technique for percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) through the right internal jugular vein (JV) in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Key Steps: Prepare the equipment and establish vascular access, insert the JV ICE catheter using a sterile sleeve, perform initial screening with JV ICE to obtain key cardiac views, identify target septal branch using coronary angiography and JV ICE, monitor contrast injection and ethanol administration in real time with JV ICE, continuously assess for immediate complications, and evaluate postprocedure gradient reduction and ablation efficacy.
Potential Pitfalls: Risks include vascular complications, arrhythmias, cardiac tamponade, embolism, and infections. JV ICE requires specific skills, presenting a learning curve. Mitigation strategies involve ultrasound-guided access, careful catheter manipulation, strict asepsis, comprehensive training, optimized settings, and continuous monitoring.

Lemierre's syndrome (LS), otherwise known as postanginal sepsis, is a frequently overlooked condition characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV), usually caused by oropharyngeal infection. However, ear space (otogenic) infections are one of the atypical causes of LS and have been rarely reported. We present a case of a male in his 20s with a history of recurrent acute otitis media (RAOM) who presented with purulent ear discharge, fever, neck pain, and swelling for a week.

A venous aneurysm (VA) is characterized by localized venous dilatation. We report a case of a left external jugular VA in a child with recurrent thrombophlebitis. The patient was diagnosed at 1 year of age, and the VA temporarily regressed after thrombophlebitis at 3 years of age, but it recanalized and recurred at 7 years of age, necessitating surgical resection.

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.

An 89-year-old woman presented with altered mental status. Computed tomography revealed multiple shunts between the portal (segment 3) and hepatic veins (left and middle hepatic veins); detailed vascular anatomy of the shunts could not be determined owing to its complexity. Blood tests revealed an elevated ammonia level.

Objectives: To determine the incidence and subsequent complications of internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis after cannulation performed during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to ensure adequate venous drainage during minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
Design: Single-center observational trial SETTINGS: Intensive care postoperative monitoring of cardiac surgery patients and diagnosis of IJV thrombi at a university tertiary hospital during the 13-month study period from December 1, 2022, to January 11, 2024.
Participants: 44 patients undergoing catheterization of the IJV for total CPB.
