Trading Scalpel and Sutures With Guidewires and Catheters: Endovascular Management of Extremity Vascular Trauma
Trauma-related vascular injuries can have significant impacts on limb function and survival. While open surgical approaches have been used for managing such injuries, endovascular therapy offers a promising alternative. This retrospective observational study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of various endovascular techniques for extremity vascular trauma (EVT). (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Case Report of Endovascular Treatment of Renal Artery Pseudoaneurysm
Arterial embolization has emerged as an effective and minimally invasive alternative for the treatment of renal pseudoaneurysms, thus avoiding the need for open surgery in many cases (Roman et al., 2017). This case report aims to discuss the presentation, diagnosis, and successful treatment of a renal artery pseudoaneurysm using arterial embolization as a therapeutic approach.

Case Report: Staged Embolization and Sclerotherapy in Treating a Complicated Arteriovenous Malformation of Right Lower Leg
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare vascular anomaly with direct connection between an artery and a vein. High-pressure arterial blood flowing directly into the vein will result in venous wall degradation, and will elicit a spectrum of symptoms such as tissue edema, skin dystrophy, distal ischemia, vascular aneurysm and heart failure. 10% high-flow AVMs in lower limbs are susceptible to limb-threatening complications and hard to cure completely. No ideal modality has been established in treating complicated AVMs, while image-guided endovascular intervention is widely accepted as the first-line therapy. (Source: Jour...

Treatment Options for Radial Artery Pseudoaneurysms
Radial artery pseudoaneurysms (RA-PSA) are rare complications after catheterization of the radial artery (for the purpose of arterial line monitoring, or for coronary and peripheral angiography). Because of its infrequent occurrence, the optimal management of this complication is not well defined. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)
