Type B aortic dissection (TBAD) presents a complex clinical challenge requiring coordinated, multidisciplinary care to optimize patient outcomes. While rapid intervention is crucial for complicated TBAD, the optimal management of uncomplicated cases remains less well-defined. Historically, uncomplicated TBAD was managed medically, but recent years have seen a shift toward selective interventional approaches.

- Cardiac myxomas (CMs) are rare heart tumors that can cause serious complications like acute lower limb ischaemia (ALI), particularly in younger patients.
- A study reviewed data from 59 cases of ALI caused by CM embolisation; it reported a 12.1% in-hospital mortality rate and various complication rates, but no deaths or significant issues during follow-up after discharge.
- The case of a 26-year-old woman who underwent successful surgery for ALI due to CM highlights the importance of considering CM as a potential cause when healthy young patients present with unexplained ALI symptoms.
Article Synopsis
- The Manta Vascular Closure Device, designed for closing large-bore arterial accesses, was evaluated to see if it performs as well as the ProGlide device in terms of achieving hemostasis after endovascular procedures.
- A retrospective study was conducted on 524 cases of (T)EVAR procedures between January 2021 and April 2023, comparing outcomes of 355 procedures using Manta versus 169 using ProGlide.
- Results showed similar complication rates and effectiveness for both devices, although Manta had a statistically larger sheath size, indicating that both are viable options for vascular closure.
