Central venous lesions are challenging in the maintenance of hemodialysis vascular access, with endovascular therapy as the preferred treatment. Coated stent grafts, with superior primary patency rates and the ability to mitigate the risk of vascular rupture and bleeding, have become one of the clinical options. However, they pose a risk of occluding important tributary veins. This report describes a case of right innominate vein occlusion treated with a small-caliber coated stent graft, resulting in postoperative symptoms of intracranial venous hypertension. This case highlights the need to pay attention to neurological symptoms caused by central venous lesions and conduct a more meticulous assessment of contralateral venous return before placing coated stent grafts, to avoid irreversible neurological symptoms.

Objective To summarise a clinical experience of nursing care for 3 children who were treated with ECMO for sepsis and complicated with fulminant myocarditis.Methods Clinical data in nursing cares for 3 children treated with ECMO for sepsis and complicated with fulminant myocarditis were collected and analysed,with the spotted difficulties in nursing care and proposed coping strategies.Results The 3 children survived and were transferred out of the(pediatric intensive care unit,PICU)with stable vital signs and haemodynamics after emergency treatment with ECMO and continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT).Conclusion Children with sepsis leading to myocardial depression and subsequent heart failure require close observation of the changes and consequently specialised cares after having initiated an ECMO in emergency treatment.This includes ensuring proper fixation of the cannulas,managing anticoagulation,monitoring the speed,flow rate and pressure of ECMO,management of body temperature,skin care,sedation and pain,as well as prevention of complications.These nursing care measures would improve the survival rate after the treatment of ECMO.
