In this article, we would like to describe the novel approach of computed tomography (CT)-guided trans superior vena caval biopsy, which we have performed in 3 consecutive precarious mediastinal lesions. Material and methods We placed a vascular sheath under ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance considering the intended angle of needle puncture and length to reach the target lesion from the puncture site. With the sheath in situ, the trans superior vena caval biopsy was performed under CT guidance, and multiple cores of target tissue were safely and successfully obtained.

Material and methods Seventy-four HD patients (28 women and 46 men) were studied. We performed ultrasound exams of the distal common carotid and proximal femoral arteries in each patient before and after a HD session. Recorded exams were analysed using EchoPac software. Arterial cross-section area values were acquired for further analysis. Results We found a statistically significant decrease in arterial systolic cross-section area values after HD sessions (carotid arteries area before HD equalled 0.6731 cm2 and 0.6333 cm2, p = 0.00001 after HD, femoral arteries area before HD equalled 0.8263 cm2 and 0.7635 cm2, p = 0.00001 after HD). The decrease of systolic carotid cross-section area correlated with the amount of fluid lost during HD sessions (correlation coefficient of 0.3122, p = 0.010) and the percentage of the body mass lost during HD (correlation coefficient of 0.3577, p = 0.003). No statistically significant changes were found in the femoral cross-section area. Conclusions Our findings suggest that the arterial cross-section area may be used in the assessment of response to body fluid loss.
