IVC filters (IVCF) perform an important function in select patients that have venous blood clots. However, they are usually intended to be temporary, and significant delay in removal can have negative health consequences for the patient. Currently, a...
Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity despite increasing prophylaxis for deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The IVC filter is a temporary or permanent intravascular device that traps migrating thrombi from t...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), comprising deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a prevalent cardiovascular condition, ranking third globally after myocardial infarction and stroke. The risk of VTE rises with age, posing a growin...
Background/Objectives: Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are used to prevent pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with contraindications to anticoagulation, among other indications. Despite clinical guidelines recommending timely retrieval, rates remai...
Background: Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters serve as a vital intervention when systemic anticoagulation proves ineffective or contraindicated, particularly in the context of cancer patients. This study aimed to provide real-world insights into the o...
The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the oncology population is significantly higher than in non-cancer patients. Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters may, therefore, be an important part of VTE treatment. In this study, we address the outcomes of...
Background: Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filters have become an advantageous treatment modality for patients with venous thromboembolism. As the use of these filters continues to grow, it is imperative for providers to appropriately educate patients in a...
(1) Background: Catheter-directed therapies (CDT) may be considered for selected patients with pulmonary embolism (PE); (2) Methods: Retrospective observational study including all consecutive patients with acute PE undergoing CDT (mechanical or phar...
Anticoagulation represents the first line treatment for venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, inferior vena cava (IVC) filter insertion can be considered as a possible therapeutic strategy when anticoagulant therapy is contraindicated, to avoid embo...
Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are vital in preventing pulmonary embolism (PE) by trapping large blood clots, especially in patients unsuitable for anticoagulation. In this study, the accuracy of two common simplifying assumptions in numerical stud...
The n-butanol/n-octanol fueled reactivity-controlled compression ignition engine was numerically studied based on the KIVA-CHEMKIN code. First, the knocking combustion characteristics were analyzed while functioning with a premixed n-butanol percenta...
The purpose of this study is to compare IVC Celect and ALN filters in regard to their efficacy, retrievability, and one-year follow-up after retrieval. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective randomized study, conducted in three centers between...
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a prevalent cardiovascular disorder with significant clinical impact. TR is frequently silent and underdiagnosed and is estimated to impact over 70 million people globally. Characterized by retrograde blood flow from t...
Accurate segmentation of cardiovascular structures plays an important role in many clinical applications. Recently, fully convolutional networks (FCNs), led by the UNet architecture, have significantly improved the accuracy and speed of semantic segm...
