Left Subclavian Artery Revascularization for Thoracic Aortic Stentgrafting: Single Center Experience in 101 Patients
Introduction - Endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic pathology (TEVAR) requires a landing zone of at least 20mm in length, necessitating coverage of the left subclavian artery (LSA) in approximately 40% of the patients.1 Coverage of the LSA may increase the risk of ischaemic stroke, spinal cord ischaemia (SCI) and/or left arm claudication. Besides some endovascular options to preserve LSA flow, in the majority of cases the LSA is surgically revascularized by either a carotid-to-subclavian bypass graft or subclavian-carotid transposition.

Endovascular Versus Open Surgical Intervention in Patients with Takayasu's Arteritis: A Meta-analysis
Although medical treatment has advanced, surgical treatment is needed to control symptoms of Takayasu's arteritis (TA), such as angina, stroke, hypertension, or claudication. Endovascular or open surgical intervention is performed; however, there are few comparative studies on these methods. This meta-analysis and systematic review aimed to examine the outcome of surgical treatment of TA.

Nationwide Experience of Cardio- and Cerebrovascular Complications During Infrainguinal Endovascular Intervention for Peripheral Arterial Disease and Acute Limb Ischaemia
Conclusions: In this population-based study we found a low risk of cardiac complications, but catheter-administered thrombolytic therapy entailed a non-negligible risk of major stroke.
