Extra-anatomic revascularization for preoperative cerebral malperfusion due to distal carotid artery occlusion in acute type A aortic dissection AORTIC SURGERY
CONCLUSION Extra-anatomic bypass for LCCA or RCCA occlusion allows for early selective cerebral perfusion during AADA repair, and may reduce the risk of neurological complications in patients with preoperative cerebral malperfusion.

Impact of Perioperative Complications After Endovascular Therapy in Diabetic Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia due to Isolated Infrapopliteal Lesions
Conclusion: POCs within 30 days after balloon angioplasty for infrapopliteal disease in diabetics with CLI were more likely to occur in patients with low BMI and tissue loss. POC occurrence was associated with major adverse limb events in follow-up but not with mortality or wound healing.

Direct oral anticoagulant associated bleeding.
Abstract Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are recommended for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and for the treatment of venous thromboembolism. However, they are associated with hemorrhagic complications. Management of DOAC-induced bleeding remains challenging. Activated or non-activated prothrombin concentrates are proposed, although their efficacy to reverse DOAC is uncertain. Therapeutic options also include antidotes: idarucizumab, antidote for dabigatran, has been approved for use whereas andexanet alpha, antidote for anti-Xa agents, and aripazine, antidote for all DOAC, are under development. Other ...

All bleeding stops — but does idarucizumab (Praxbind) make it stop faster?
3.5 out of 5 stars Persistent life-threatening hemorrhage after administration of idarucizumab. Alhashem HM et al. Am J Emerg Med 2016 June 30 [Epub ahead of print] Reference Dabigatran (Pradaxa) is a direct thrombin inhibitor approved for stroke and embolism prophylaxis in patients with non-valve-related atrial fibrillation. When it was first released in 2008, a major disincentive to widespread use was the lack of a reliable reversal agent to treat major bleeds, or to administer before necessary invasive procedures. In October 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved idarucizumab (Praxbind), a monoclonal ant...

Antiplatelet agents in hemodialysis.
In conclusion, since CRF patients are one of the groups at highest risk for atherosclerotic events, it could be reasonable to use aspirin in HD patients. However, the bleeding risk in HD patients needs to be strongly evaluated, especially before starting dual AA treatment. PMID: 27928736 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: Study of clinical characteristics in an Indian population.
Abstract Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary form of kidney disease. Clinical data on this multisystem disorder are scarce from developing countries. We conducted a prospective observational study of the clinical profile of ADPKD patients at a single center over a period of six years. A total of 208 patients were studied. Majority were male (60.6%) and the mean age was 45.8 ± 14.5 years. About 61.5% had early stage (Stages 1-3) of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 38.5% had advanced CKD (Stages 4 and 5). Clinical features observed included pain abdomen (46.2%), noctur...

Elevated ventricular CSF lactate within the first week after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated with poor outcome (P5.068)
Conclusions:Elevated CSF lactate drawn within the first week of hospitalization following aSAH correlates with outcome. Larger prospective studies are needed to test the validity of this data for predicting outcome and for understanding the pathophysiologic mechanisms.Study Supported by: No funding was received for this study.Disclosure: Dr. Renfrow has nothing to disclose.

Cardiovascular risk prediction in chronic kidney disease patients.
CONCLUSION: The cardiovascular risk scores (FRS-CVD and ASCVD [AHA/ACC 2013]) can estimate the probability of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events in patients with CKD regardless of renal function, albuminuria and previous cardiovascular events. PMID: 28495396 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A Case of Ruptured Vertebrobasilar Junction Aneurysm Associated with Subclavian Steal Phenomenon
A 77-year-old woman with arteriovenous shunt for hemodialysis in the left forearm suffered from subarachnoid hemorrhage due to the rupture of a saccular aneurysm located on the left lateral wall of vertebrobasilar junction. Her left subclavian artery was severely stenosed and subclavian steal phenomenon was demonstrated on the digital subtraction angiography. Embolization of the parent artery including the aneurysm using detachable coils resulted in the successful obliteration of the aneurysm through the revascularized left subclavian artery.

Open Thoracic and Thoraco-abdominal Aortic Repair in Patients with Connective Tissue Disease.
CONCLUSION: Open TAA(A) repair is a durable therapy for patients with CTD. Often being performed as revision surgery, it can be associated with relevant risks and should therefore be reserved for specialised centres. Staged procedures and thus reducing operating time, if applicable, should be preferred. PMID: 28916127 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
