A Novel Diagnostic Technique to Ascertain the Feasibility and Safety of Left Gonadal Vein Embolization
To describe a diagnostic test for nutcracker syndrome, and assess its feasibility and safety. The test was conducted to determine whether embolization would lead to increased venous hypertension and potential renal complications in cases of moderate- to severe left renal vein (LRV) stenosis.

Early Experience Using Inner-Branch Devices for Hostile Necks and Thoracoabdominal Aneurysm Endovascular Repair
Hostile necks and thoracoabdominal aneurysms have been traditionally treated using open techniques, which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Endovascular repair for those aneurysms is evolving rapidly, starting with chimney or parallel endografts (ChEVAR), fenestrated endografts (FEVAR), physician-modified endografts (PMEG), and branched endografts (BEVAR). Results vary depending on anatomy and experience. Inner-branch technology is a promising, relatively simple technique, and potentially covers most anatomic challenges.

Open Venous Arterialization Technique for No-Option Foot Salvage: A Latino-American Cohort in a High-Volume CLTI Center
Deep or superficial venous arterialization (D/SVA) is a technique aimed at providing an option for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients with no options except amputation. In patients with no outflow distal targets permitting bypass, D/SVA involves creating a connection between a proximal arterial inflow and a distal venous outflow in conjunction with disruption of the vein valves in the foot. This permits blood flow to reach the foot, and potentially resolves rest pain or assists in healing of a chronic wound. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

AI-Powered Plaque Classification: Revealing Peripheral Artery Disease With 9.4 Tesla MRI Histology
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) lesion composition impacts percutaneous vascular interventions (PVIs). Ultrashort echo time (UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can differentiate soft (e.g. fat, thrombus) and hard (calcification, dense collagen) tissue. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are valuable for analyzing complex medical imaging datasets. Our feasibility study aimed to semi-automatically differentiate soft/hard components in PAD lesions and assess crossability using 9.4 T MRI images, a custom-made AI-algorithm, and histological samples.
