Thoracic endovascular repair of descending thoracic aorta aneurysm using thoracic stent graft in a challenging complex patient: An innovative access technique during an emergency using a mini-thoracotomy approach
CONCLUSIONS: Thoracic CTA performed before discharge revealed complete aneurysmal exclusion and no endoleaks. Postoperative follow-up CTA (6 months and annually thereafter) revealed no aneurysm formation or aortic restenosis. The femoral artery, followed by the iliac artery, is the traditional access route for TEVAR. Left posterolateral mini-thoracotomy may be required as an alternative access in complex patients.PMID:38452485 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241238041 (Source: Vascular)

Delayed ulnar artery pseudoaneurysm presentation after percutaneous cardiac intervention: A case report and review of the literature
CONCLUSION: We report a case of delayed ulnar artery pseudoaneurysm presentation following cardiac catheterization through the right ulnar artery. Open surgical repair offers a definitive addressal of ulnar artery pseudoaneurysm and removes ulnar nerve compressive neuropathy with less risk of distal embolization in patients with delayed pseudoaneurysm presentation whenever ultrasound-guided thrombin injection (UGTI) is contraindicated.PMID:38447047 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241238267 (Source: Vascular)

Optimizing platelet inhibition in peripheral artery disease: A comparison of mono-antiplatelet therapy and dual-antiplatelet therapy using thromboelastography
CONCLUSIONS: Patients on DAPT showed a significant increase in platelet inhibition when compared to initial aspirin MAPT. A significant difference in AA %platelet inhibition was shown for patients on DAPT when compared to initial clopidogrel MAPT. The results show that patients may benefit from DAPT post-revascularization. Personalizing antiplatelet therapy with objective viscoelastic testing to confirm adequate treatment may be the next step in optimizing patient outcomes to reduce thrombosis in PAD patients.PMID:38441042 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241237005 (Source: Vascular)

Short-term patency of iliofemoral to tibial bypass with vascular allografts in a minority population: A retrospective analysis of a single center acute care facility
CONCLUSIONS: The patency rates of minority patients undergoing bypass with CSV were analyzed with creation of a life table and calculation of patency rates, TLR and AFS. The short-term primary patency rates and post-operative outcomes were found to be comparable to larger studies in non-minority cohorts. These results suggest that larger studies as well as prospective analyses and randomized controlled trials in this patient cohort and demographic are needed, as well as optimal selection of patients to determine true clinical implications.PMID:38441067 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241237843 (Source: Vascular)

CO < sub > 2 < /sub > is the contrast media to choose in patients with initial Chronic Kidney Disease undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair to prevent further renal function deterioration
CONCLUSIONS: ICM seems to be a determining factor in worsening renal function; therefore, an effort should be made to standardize the use of CO2 as the contrast medium of choice in patients with initial renal insufficiency undergoing EVAR.PMID:38438115 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241238044 (Source: Vascular)

Pharmacomechanical thrombectomy with Angiojet in acute arterial occlusions: A prospective study among the results and outcomes
CONCLUSION: PMT with Angiojet is a safe and effective therapy in patients with ALI. However, patients receiving greater than 150 cycles/s were noted to have higher rates of acute kidney injury and mortality. This is likely reflective of increased thrombus burden and higher rates of hemolysis. Acute kidney injury, greater than 150 cycles/s, and COVID-19 infection were the variables with the strongest association to perioperative mortality.PMID:38429875 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241237559 (Source: Vascular)
