Endovascular management of posterior tibial arteriovenous fistula and pseudoaneurysms secondary to penetrating trauma
Traumatic peripheral artery arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) require consideration of both open and endovascular treatment approaches.1 There is limited data to support an “endovascular-first” approach, which aims to ease patient recovery while preserving open bypass as an option for future interventions.2 (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Popliteal aneurysmal arteriovenous malformation
A 33-year-old innately healthy woman with a gradually increasing left popliteal pulsatile tumor was referred to our hospital because of suspicious diagnosis of popliteal aneurysm. Contrast-enhanced 3-dimensional CT angiography revealed aneurysmal dilatation of popliteal arteriovenous malformation (AVM): i.e., the popliteal artery, aneurysmal AVM, and popliteal vein were sequentially enhanced (A, B, C, D/Cover, E). The patient underwent aneurysmectomy in the prone position. The aneurysmal AVM was exposed through the S-shaped skin incision in the popliteal fossa. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Vascular complications secondary to resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta placement at a Level 1 Trauma Center
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is designed to manage severe hemorrhagic shock. Popularized in medical care during military conflicts, the concept has emerged as a lifesaving technique that is utilized around the United States. Literature on risks of REBOA placement, especially vascular injuries, are not well-reported. Our goal was to assess the incidence of vascular injury from REBOA placement and the risk factors associated with injury and death among these patients at our institution.

Gender Differences in Autonomy and Performance Assessments in a National Cohort of Vascular Surgery Trainees
Gender disparities in surgical training and assessment are described in the general surgery literature. Assessment disparities have not been explored in vascular surgery. We sought to investigate gender disparities in operative assessment in a national cohort of vascular surgery integrated residents (VIR) and fellows (VSF). (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Long-term Costs to Medicare Associated with Endovascular and Open Repairs of Infrarenal and Complex Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
The vast majority of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) undergoing repairs receive endovascular interventions (EVARs) instead of open operations (OARs). While EVARs have better short-term outcomes, OARs have improved longer-term durability and require less radiographic follow-up and monitoring, which may have significant implications on healthcare economics surrounding provision of AAA care nationally. Herein, we compared costs associated with EVAR and OAR of both infrarenal and complex AAAs. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Evaluating Growth Patterns of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Among Women
Though initially protected from vessel dilation by estrogen, women may experience rapid abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth post-menopause. The rate of growth has been poorly defined in prior literature. Here we describe aneurysm growth in a cohort of women found through an AAA screening program. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Stenting for internal carotid artery stenosis accompanied by aberrant origin of occipital and ascending pharyngeal artery
A 35-year-old male with two previous left cerebral infarctions had a stenotic lesion in the left internal carotid artery (ICA) after a close examination by carotid ultrasonography and magnetic resonance angiography. Digital subtraction angiography revealed a 70% stenosis of the ICA, concurrently confirming a common trunk arising from the distal 29 mm of the carotid bifurcation, where the occipital and ascending pharyngeal artery branched off (A/cover, B).
