Lymphatic malformations are congenital alterations of normal embryonic lymphatic development. We present a case of a premature 7-week-old male with a large central conducting lymphatic malformation and significant abdominal chylorrhea. He was successfully treated with combined endolymphatic and surgical approaches. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case to be described.
ABSTRACT
Retrieval of inferior vena cava filters is routinely performed via an internal jugular venous access. We present a case of a 55-year-old woman with myeloproliferative disorder, complicated by venous thrombosis. She was referred to interventional radiology for removal of an inferior vena cava filter, which had been placed 5 months prior for mechanical prophylaxis in the setting of femoral orthopedic surgery. Due to the patient's chronic occlusion of the bilateral jugular and subclavian veins, a transhepatic approach was used to retrieve the filter successfully without immediate complications.
