Article Abstract

We describe a rare venous anatomical variant identified in a 68-year-old male with lung cancer and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Color duplex ultrasonography revealed direct drainage of the popliteal vein into the common femoral vein, with absence of the superficial femoral vein. This previously undescribed variation may have contributed to thrombogenesis in the hypercoagulable setting of malignancy. Recognition of such variants is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of DVT.

Reconstructing bone defects remains a significant challenge in clinical practice, driving the urgent need for advanced artificial grafts that simultaneously promote vascularization and osteogenesis. Addressing the critical trade-off between achieving high porosity/strength and effective bioactivity at safe ion doses, we incorporated strontium (Sr) into β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds with a triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structure using digital light processing (DLP)-based three-dimensional (3D) printing. Systematically screening Sr concentrations (0-10 mol%), we identified 10 mol% as optimal, leveraging the synergy between the biomimetic TPMS architecture, providing exceptional mechanical strength (up to 1.

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.

Rationale: This case report aims to highlight a rare but life-threatening complication of femoral venous catheterization and to describe a novel endovascular technique for its management. Non-tunneled femoral catheters provide rapid vascular access for emergency dialysis (e.g.

Department of Surgery, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, 676 North St. Clair Street, Suite 650, Chicago, IL 60611, United States.

This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of preoperative patient education interventions used in vascular surgery and their impact on patient knowledge. Embase, PubMed, and Ovid were searched in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. For inclusion, studies involved an educational intervention for a vascular surgery procedure and patient knowledge was an outcome.

Objectives: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disorder often complicated by vascular events, with or without antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS). This study aimed to explore subclinical venous involvement in SLE using biochemical and imaging modalities, focusing on vein wall thickness (VWT) and inflammation-related biomarkers.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 68 SLE patients were categorized based on antiphospholipid antibody (APA) status and clinical APS.
