Central vein stenosis and thrombosis are frequent in patients on haemodialysis for end-stage renal disease. Its management includes anticoagulation, systemic or catheter-directed thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Pentylenetetrazol Use of mechanical thrombectomy in central vein thrombosis has been scarcely reported. We hereby report a case of right brachiocephalic vein thrombosis with underlying stenosis, which was successfully treated by mechanical thrombectomy followed by PTA and stenting. The patient had a favourable 10 months of follow-up. Many kidney transplant recipients enrolled in the Veterans Health Administration are also enrolled in Medicare and eligible to receive both Veterans Health Administration and private sector care. Where these patients receive transplant care and its association with mortality are unknown. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of veterans who underwent kidney transplantation between 2008 and 2016 and were dually enrolled in Veterans Health Administration and Medicare at the time of surgery. We categorized patients on the basis of the source of transplant-related care ( ., outpatient transplant visits, immunosuppressive medication prescriptions, calcineurin inhibitor measurements) delivered during the first year after transplantation defined as Veterans Health Administration only, Medicare only ( ., outside Veterans Health Administration using Medicare), or dual care (mixed use of Veterans Health Administration and Medicare). Using multivariable Cox regression, we examined the independent association orans Health Administration-only post-transplant care had the lowest 5-year mortality. Most dually enrolled veterans underwent transplantation at a non-Veterans Health Administration transplant center using Medicare, yet many relied on Veterans Health Administration for some or all of their post-transplant care. Veterans who received Veterans Health Administration-only post-transplant care had the lowest 5-year mortality. Progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is highly variable. On average, protein-truncating mutations are associated with the most severe kidney disease among all mutation classes. Here, we report that patients with protein-truncating mutations may also have mild kidney disease, a finding not previously well recognized. From the extended Toronto Genetic Epidemiologic Study of Polycystic Kidney Disease, 487 patients had and sequencing and typical ADPKD imaging patterns by magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography. Mayo Clinic Imaging Classification on the basis of age- and height-adjusted total kidney volume was used to assess their cystic disease severity; classes 1A or 1B were used as a proxy to define mild disease. Multivariable linear regression was performed to test the effects of age, sex, and mutation classes on log-transformed height-adjusted total kidney volume and eGFR. Among 174 study patients with typical imaging patterns and protein-truncating mutations, 32 (18%) were found to have mild disease on the basis of imaging results ( ., Mayo Clinic Imaging class 1A-1B), with their mutations spanning the entire gene. By multivariable analyses of age, sex, and mutation class, they displayed mild disease similar to patients with mutations and Mayo Clinic Imaging class 1A-1B. Most of these mildly affected patients with protein-truncating mutations reported a positive family history of ADPKD in preceding generations and displayed significant intrafamilial disease variability. Despite having the most severe mutation class, 18% of patients with protein-truncating mutations had mild disease on the basis of clinical and imaging assessment.
