[Background] In the clinical settings, quantity as well as quality of daily duties is increasingly demanded, where human resources are hardly satisfied in Japan. [Objective] To solve this imbalance problem, we specifically sought a practical solution in the catheter operation room using Android mobile tablets. [Methods] It was simply needed to install VNC software in PC terminals of our specially designed reporting system for adding to the new function of remote operation. [Results] Our experimental operations show that this enhancement achieved by Android and VNC remarkably decreased the amount of physical movement of co-medical members, resulting in increased attention to assisting operation. [Conclusion] Thus we propose that our solution is easy and cost-effective to improve efficiency in the medical facilities.

A 32-year-old man with a history of bronchial asthma was referred for low back pain and bilateral femur pain. Vascular sonography revealed bilateral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) from the femoral veins to the popliteal veins. Computed tomography revealed hypoplasia of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and dilated lumbar veins, ascending lumbar veins, and azygos vein as collaterals. There was no evidence of malignant neoplasm. The results of the thrombophilia tests were within normal limits. Hypoplasia of the IVC is a rare cause of DVT. This anomaly should be considered as a cause of bilateral and proximal DVT, in particular, in young patients without major risk factors.
