Midterm outcomes of endoscopic-assisted brachial-basilic arteriovenous fistula creation
Endoscopic vein harvest remains underused in single-stage brachial-basilic arteriovenous fistula creation. We analyzed our results with the use of this technique in a cohort of predominantly obese (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2) patients. Demographics, intraoperative details, and outcomes for all consecutive patients who underwent single-stage endoscopic-assisted brachial-basilic arteriovenous fistula creation between 2020 and 2022 at a single institute were analyzed retrospectively. The primary outcomes were t echnical success, fistula maturation, and primary assisted and secondary patency rates. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

In vitro analysis of carotid lesions using a preliminary microwave sensor to detect vulnerable plaques: Correlation with histology, Duplex ultrasound examination, and computed tomography scanner: The Imaging and Microwave Phenotyping Assessment of Carotid stenosis Threat (IMPACT) study
Progress in best medical treatment have made identification of best candidates for carotid surgery more difficult. New diagnostic modalities could be helpful in this perspective. Microwaves (MWs) can quantify dielectric properties (complex relative permittivity) of biological tissues and MW technology has emerged as a promising field of research for distinguishing abnormal tissues from healthy ones. We here evaluated the ability of a dedicated MW sensor developed in our laboratory to identify vulnerable carotid lesions. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Exercise Therapy for Chronic Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease: A Clinical Consensus Document of the European Society of Cardiology Working Group on Aorta and Peripheral Vascular Diseases in Collaboration With the European Society of Vascular Medicine and the European Society for Vascular Surgery
All guidelines worldwide strongly recommend exercise as a pillar in the management of patients affected by lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD). Exercise therapy in this setting presents different modalities, and a structured programme provides optimal results. This clinical consensus paper is intended to promote and assist the set up of comprehensive exercise programmes and best advice for patients with symptomatic chronic PAD. Different exercise training protocols specific for patients with PAD are presented. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Biomimetic Stents for Infrainguinal Peripheral Arterial Disease: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Biomimetic stents are peripheral infrainguinal self expanding stents that mimic the anatomy of the vasculature and artery movement. They are indicated for use in infrainguinal arteries. This research aimed to synthesise all current evidence on the use of biomimetic stents as adjuncts for endovascular treatment of infrainguinal peripheral arterial disease (PAD), helping to guide clinical decision making.

The steerable sheath revolution
The authors are to be congratulated for a well-conducted study1 reporting prospectively monitored data, confirming that transfemoral (TF) access is associated with better outcomes compared to upper extremity (UE) access during fenestrated and branched endovascular repair (FBEVAR). The authors acquired a high number of cases with UE access as there was the initial general belief that access from above (possibly facilitated by using preloaded catheters) could decrease number of failed catheterizations, especially for downward-facing target vessels (TVs), and improve technical success.
