Rescue Aortoiliac  Subintimal Recanalization and Stent “Endobypass” for Leriche Syndrome Complicated by Fournier Gangrene
A 67-year-old woman with longstanding Rutherford 4 leg and buttock claudication secondary to aortobiiliac occlusion (Leriche syndrome) presented with Fournier gangrene. Emergent life-saving debridement was complicated by a large nonhealing wound requiring 7 surgeries over 6 weeks. Muscle flap and skin graft surgeries failed because of poor perfusion owing to calcified aortobiiliac chronic total occlusion (CTO) (Fig 1a). She was not a candidate for surgical bypass and refused hospice care. She underwent aortoiliac recanalization to provide pelvic wall perfusion to allow for future skin and muscle grafts.

Percutaneous Ultrasound-Guided Aspiration of an Intracranial Abscess in a Neonate
A premature neonate delivered by cesarean section at 34 weeks of gestation with an Apgar score of 6 was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit for signs of sepsis and respiratory distress. Blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine cultures were sterile. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain showed a well-defined, rim-enhancing, 19-mm  × 14-mm right occipital fluid collection, suspicious for an abscess (Fig 1). She was too unstable to undergo surgical drainage. Under intravenous sedation, bedside transcranial ultrasound (US) was performed via the posterior fontanelle, and a spinal needle (22 gauge × 3.5 inch...

Access Site Femoral Arterial Pseudoaneurysm
A 45-year-old patient with a history of alcoholic cirrhosis presented with a rectus sheath hematoma after bedside paracentesis, which enlarged despite medical management. Coagulopathy was corrected with the administration of fresh frozen plasma before left common femoral arterial access (Fig 1a). Empiric embolization of the right inferior epigastric artery was performed. The arterial puncture site was closed with the assistance of a vascular closure device.
