    Abstract Anticoagulation is used to prevent thromboembolism; inferior vena cava filters are an alternative in patients with contraindications to anticoagulation. Although it is safe and effective, there are recognized complications related to inferior vena cava filter placement. We describe the case of a young man with congenital solitary left pelvic kidney who required unique filter placement to suit the anatomy and surgical removal after entrapment of the filter-snare complex in the left internal iliac vein. Patients may also acquire solitary pelvic kidneys after renal transplantation. This anatomy poses unique challenges to venous filter placement and requires tailored management.

    Abstract Varicose veins are a common condition that can be treated surgically. Available operative modalities include saphenous venous ligation and stripping, phlebectomy, endovenous laser therapy and radiofrequency ablation. Radiofrequency ablation is the newest of these technologies, and to our knowledge our group was the first to use it in Canada. Our experience suggests that it is a safe and effective treatment for varicose veins, with high levels of patient satisfaction reported at short-term follow-up. More studies are needed to assess long-term effectiveness and compare the various available treatment options for varicose veins.

    Abstract Purpose: To compare standard methods (control) with a new protocol for radiocephalic fistula (RCF) creation involving ultrasound vein mapping by the surgeon in the operating room, ligation of cephalic vein branches in the lower forearm, and use of a tourniquet for the arteriovenous anastomosis.
    Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent radiocephalic fistula creation between April 2008 and March 2010 in a regional vascular center. Patients were identified retrospectively by reviewing hospital operating room and office billing records. The electronic charts of all patients were reviewed. The primary endpoint was functional RCF patency at last follow-up.
    Results: A total of 118 patients underwent arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation by 3 surgeons during the two-year study period. Of these, 59 patients underwent RCF creation, 33 of whom were managed using the new protocol. The two groups were comparable, except for age (66 in the study group vs. 60 in the control group, P=.04). Tourniquet use shortened operative time from 48 to 36 minutes (P=.04). Functional patency was 82% vs 77% (P=.64).
    Conclusion: The new protocol for RCF creation results in shorter operative times and high functional patency rates.
