Factors affecting organ donation rate during devastating brain injuries: A 6-year data analysis.
Conclusions: Our findings showed that refusal by the family was the most common reason for failure of deceased organ donations. To maximize the number of procured organs, transplant communities need to focus on increasing awareness regarding brain death and organ donation and establish strategies to increase consent obtained from the families.

Aortoesophageal fistula involving the central aortic arch salvaged with emergent percutaneous TEVAR, great vessel coverage and in vivo graft fenestration.
We describe an unusual and challenging case of TEVAR coverage of an AEF involving the central aortic arch immediately followed by in vivo endograft fenestration to regain arch vessel perfusion. In vivo fenestration, currently a procedure for emergency or investigational purposes only, was shown to be life saving in our case. The main complications associated with the procedure included stroke and infection, requiring esophagectomy and cervical diversion as well as ongoing antibiotic treatment.

Effects of Cerebral Ischemia on Levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and its Soluble Receptors: A Possible Link to Angiogenesis in Arteriovenous Malformations
CONCLUSION: Decreased levels of sVEGFR1 can be a mechanism contributing to angiogenesis in AVMs by increasing the levels of VEGF available to bind membrane-bound VEGFRs.PMID:34169992 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.32714-20.2
