Procedural And Clinical Outcomes Of Dedicated Venous Stents In Acute And Chronic Venous Obstruction: A Retrospective Single Center Study, Guangming Tan, Madeleine G Yan, Bryan Py Yan
Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology
Background Endovenous angioplasty with stenting is an accepted treatment for patient with venous obstruction. Dedicated venous stents have been developed to improve the efficacy and safety of the venoplasty procedure. We report the procedural as well as clinical outcomes of these new generation stents in the treatment of acute and chronic venous obstruction. Method This is a single centre retrospective cohort study of patients who received venous stenting for either acute or chronic venous obstruction. Baseline demographics, procedural details, clinical outcomes including 30 day all-cause mortality, 90 day primary patency rate, and change in Villalta score were reported. Result 41 …

Recurrent Cyanotic Spells In An Octogenarian, Chin Tong Kwok, Chun Kit Wong
Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology
We report rare case of an octogenarian who, after years of diagnostic delay, was found to have a patent foramen ovale, and due to an ascending aortic aneurysm that anatomically facilitated right-to-left shunt, presenting with life-threatening cyanotic attacks. The characteristic orthodeoxia-platypnea syndrome and high alveolar arterial gradient hint to the diagnosis. She was eventually treated successfully with urgent percutaneous PFO closure. Routine ordering of a transthoracic echocardiogram, without agitated saline injection under provocation maneuvers, may not be sufficient to rule out shunts.
