Article Abstract
Primary lung adenocarcinoma is a rare but critical diagnosis in young adults, often presenting with atypical symptoms. We report the case of a 29-year-old male with no significant medical history who initially presented with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and recurrent pulmonary emboli (PE) despite appropriate anticoagulation. Further workup ultimately revealed metastatic lung adenocarcinoma, diagnosed post-mortem. This case underscores the importance of considering occult malignancy in young patients with unprovoked or recurrent venous thromboembolism. Early recognition of underlying cancer in such atypical presentations may facilitate earlier diagnosis and intervention, potentially improving patient outcomes.

Department of Cardiology, Hirakata Kohsai Hospital, Hirakata, Japan.
Background: The risk-benefit balance of extended anticoagulation in patients with metastatic cancer remains unclear.
Objectives: This prespecified subgroup analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 12-and 3-month edoxaban treatment in patients with cancer-associated isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) based on cancer metastasis.
Methods: The ONCO DVT study, a randomized clinical trial, included 601 patients with cancer-associated isolated distal DVT, divided into metastasis (N = 147) and no metastasis subgroups (N = 454).
Management of recurrent varicose veins: Redo open surgery versus endovascular approaches.

Vascular Surgery, Vita-Salute University School of Medicine, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy.
ObjectiveRecurrent varicose veins (RVVs) following open surgical procedures are common and present significant treatment challenges. Redo open surgery (rOS) presents risks leading to a need for alternative treatment options. This study compares the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS), used to treat recurrent reflux and remove neovascular and tributary venous networks in the thigh, to redo open surgery (rOS) for the treatment of C2r.

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.

HepatoBiliaryPancreatic Surgery, AOU Careggi, Department of Experimental and Clinical Medicine (DMSC), University of Florence, Florence, Italy.
Purpose: To build computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics models, with independent external validation, to predict recurrence and disease-specific mortality in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who underwent liver resection.
Methods: 113 patients were included in this retrospective study: the internal training cohort comprised 66 patients, while the external validation cohort comprised 47. All patients underwent a CT study before surgery.
