Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has emerged as the preferred treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), offering advantages such as reduced mortality, faster recovery, and fewer complications compared to open repair (OR). However, concerns persist regarding long-term durability, and the need for reinterventions. Among all reported EVAR complications, endograft collapse poses a significant challenge, particularly when presenting with acute lower limb ischemia (ALI).

Article Synopsis
- PTRA (percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty) is an important treatment for patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis, but its success relies on timely revascularization and the severity of existing kidney damage.
- A case series involving 5 patients showed that while all experienced improvements in blood pressure post-PTRA, their renal function outcomes varied based on initial conditions like renal resistive index (RRI) and Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) levels.
- The study suggests that measuring baseline renal stem cells (RSC), RRI, and NGAL could help predict post-treatment kidney function, emphasizing the need for more research with larger patient
Aneurysms of tibial arteries are extremely rare. Here we report a case of a true posterior tibial artery aneurysm in a young patient without any associated pathology and discuss surgical and endovascular treatment. A young Caucasian male was admitted to our department for painful and pulsatile swelling of the right calf.

Herein, we report the case of an 86-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with a 4-day history of progressive swelling of the left thigh.
