Celect Inferior Vena Cava Wall Strut Perforation Begets Additional Strut Perforation.
To identify risk factors for strut perforation following Celect inferior vena cava (IVC) filter (IVCF) placement and to use finite element modeling to predict the mechanical impact of long-dwelling filters. ⋯ Celect IVCF primary strut perforation is progressive over time and is more common in female patients and those with a history of malignancy. In addition, this progressive perforation may be predicted by three-dimensional finite element modeling. These patient populations may require closer follow-up after IVCF placement to prevent or reduce the risk for filter complication or worsening perforation.

Percutaneous Pericardial Effusion Drainage under Ultrasonographic and Fluoroscopic Guidance for Symptomatic Pericardial Effusion: A Single-Center Experience in 93 Consecutive Patients.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided and fluoroscopically guided percutaneous pericardial effusion drainage as performed by interventional radiologists in patients with symptomatic pericardial effusion. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided and fluoroscopically guided pericardial effusion drainage is a safe and effective procedure for patients with symptomatic pericardial effusion. The transhepatic approach may be preferable for posteriorly distributed pericardial effusion that would otherwise be inaccessible by a traditional subxiphoid or apical approach.
