Summary
The AngioVac system successfully removed a mobile atrial mass in a patient with renal neoplasm and inferior vena cava occlusion. This approach minimized pulmonary embolism risk and enabled a crucial histological diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Cardiology
- Nephrology
- Oncology
Background:
- Renal neoplasms can lead to inferior vena cava (IVC) occlusion and right atrial (RA) involvement.
- Free-floating masses in the RA pose a significant risk of pulmonary embolism (PE).
- Surgical intervention may be contraindicated in patients with diffuse metastases.

546
The two-compartment model for extravascular administration represents a drug's absorption and distribution process. It features a central compartment, where the drug is first absorbed, and a peripheral compartment, which illustrates the drug's distribution throughout the body. The rate of change in drug concentration in the central compartment is calculated by three exponents: absorption, distribution, and elimination.
The absorption exponent (ka) indicates the speed at which the drug...

Blood transfusion is a therapeutic measure to restore the blood volume after extensive blood loss due to an accident or a medical procedure. Blood transfusion involves drawing a certain amount of blood from a suitable donor and infusing it into the recipient.
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...
