The placement of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a therapeutic method for selected patients with deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. However, insertion and placement of the filter may be associated with certain complications. For instance, retroperitoneal hematoma resulting from perforation of the wall by the filter is such a very rare but serious complication. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman with perforation of the IVC wall and consecutive hematoma caused by the filter who was treated surgically.

Summary: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been used extensively in coronary applications. Its use in venous applications has increased as endovascular therapy has increasingly become the mainstay therapy for central venous diseases. IVUS has been used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in managing venous stenotic disease, venous occlusive disease, and IVC filter placement and removal. IVUS has been proven to be effective in providing detailed measurement of the venous anatomy, which aid in determining the appropriate size and the approach for venous stent placement. In IVC filter placement, IVUS can provide detailed measurement and guide IVC filter placement in emergent and critical care settings. It also has certain utility in filter removal. At any rate, to date there are only a few studies examining its impact on patient outcomes. Prospective randomized controlled trials are warranted in the future.

Introduction: For many surgeries for duodenal ulcer Laparoscopic repair has become gold standard for many elective procedures such as ant reflux procedures, laparoscopic cholecystectomy and in colorectal surgery. Although in the emergency setting such as in the management of perforated duodenal ulcer Laparoscopic repair has been slow and limited. Since 1990, for the treatment of perforated peptic ulcer Laparoscopic repair has been used which has been widely accepted as an effective method. Duodenal ulcer is defined as a peptic ulcer which develops in the first part of the small intestine called duodenum and usually present as a perforation of acute abdomen. In perforated duodenal symptoms as severe and sudden onset abdominal pain that is worse in right upper quadrant and epigastrium and usually followed by nausea and vomiting. In this situation there is rapid generalization of pain and in examination shows peritonitis with lack of bowel sounds. Aim: The main objective of this study is to evaluate outcome of laparoscopic surgery in comparison with conventional surgery. Material and methods: All the patients with clinically diagnosed with perforated duodenal ulcers presenting within 24 hours of symptoms and undergoing surgery were included during the study period. Total 50 patients were included with age group 15-65 years. All the patients with perforated duodenal ulcers were included which go through either conventional open or laparoscopic without omental patch repair. Result: Total 50 patients were included in these studies which were divided into two group with 25 patients in each group as laparoscopic duodenal perforation repair group and conventional open repair group. Mean duration of operation (in minutes) was 105.4±10.4 in laparoscopic duodenal perforation repair group whereas mean duration of operation (in minutes) was 67.3±8.6 in conventional open repair group. Mean duration of number of doses of analgesics required in laparoscopic group and conventional open group as 9.5±1.7 and 17.2± 3.1 respectively. Out of 25 patients in each group of laparoscopic duodenal perforation repair group and the conventional open repair group the outcome were noted with their post operative complication as shown in table no 5 below.   In Post-operative complications 21(84%) patients in laparoscopic duodenal perforation repair group and 14(56%) patients in conventional open repair group had no complications. 4 (16%) patients in the laparoscopic duodenal perforation repair group and 2(8%) patients in conventional open repair group showed Post-operative complications as chest infection. In the conventional open repair group  patients present with wound dehiscence and wound infection and Wound dehiscence and chest infection were 4(16%) and 5(20%) respectively whereas nil in Laparoscopic duodenal perforation repair group. Conclusion: Duodenal ulcer perforation is a life-threatening emergency which required urgent management for the patients. Due to the advance in duodenal ulcer perforation closure by laparoscopy it becomes popular and favorite choice. With certain criteria, laparoscopic closure of perforated duodenal ulcer is safe and effective though it was associated with longer operating time and had no impact on the outcome. Hence laparoscopic closure was better in comparison to open repair for the earlier returns to normal daily activities.

Abstract Background Transseptal puncture and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are generally performed via the inferior vena cava (IVC). However, in cases where the IVC is inaccessible, a specific strategy may be needed. Case summary An 86-year-old woman with paroxysmal AF and an IVC filter in situ was referred to our hospital for ablation therapy. An IVC filter for pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis had been implanted 15 years prior, therefore we selected a transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE)-guided transseptal puncture using a superior vena cava (SVC) approach. After the single transseptal puncture, we performed fast anatomical mapping, voltage mapping by multipolar mapping catheter, and then PVI by contact force-guided radiofrequency catheter using a steerable sheath. Following the ablation, bidirectional conduction block between the four pulmonary veins and the left atrium was confirmed by both radiofrequency and mapping catheter. No complications occurred and no recurrence of AF was documented in the 12 months after the procedure. Discussion When performing a transseptal puncture during AF ablation, an SVC approach, via access through the right internal jugular vein, enables the sheath to directly approach the left atrium without angulation and improves operability of the ablation catheter. Combining the use of general anaesthesia, TOE, a steerable sheath, and contact force-guided ablation may contribute to achieving minimally invasive PVI with a single transseptal puncture via an SVC approach.
