Mechanical thrombectomy in inferior vena cava thrombosis after caval filter placement: a report of three cases.
Inferior vena caval (IVC) filter thrombosis in patients with contraindications to anticoagulant therapy is a difficult and challenging clinical problem. We report our experience in treating three such patients using a mechanical thrombectomy device, which resulted in rapid symptomatic relief until anticoagulant therapy could be safely introduced.

3D time of flight MR angiography: acquisition with small field of view and low phase encodes.
The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the image quality of the 3D TOF MRA acquired with a small FOV and low phase encodes with those MR angiographic images acquired with standard pulse sequence parameters. Twenty patients who were referred to our institution for MR imaging of the brain and strictly satisfied the selection criteria were included in this study. Apart from the routine protocol for MR imaging of the brain, 3D TOF MRA of the circle of Willis with a small FOV and a standard FOV were performed. The image quality of all MRA was evaluated by two independent observers who were blind to the pulse sequence parameters. From the standard FOV MRA, 22.5, 12.5, and 5% of the patients were graded as mild, moderate, and severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery, respectively. On the contrary, no apparent stenosis was observed from the small FOV MRA with low phase encodes. Regarding the reduction in MR artifacts and acquisition time achieved with the small FOV 3D TOF MRA with low phase encodes, this might be a useful MR angiographic technique to be used in routine clinical practice.
