Management of Aorto-Duodenal Fistula: Case Series and Technical Notes.

Aorto-duodenal fistula (ADF) is a rare clinical condition characterized by abnormal communication between the 3rd or 4th portion of the duodenum and the aorta, typically associated with aneurysmal disease. The incidence of ADF is expected to increase, however, there remains a lack of consensus on the optimal approach for intestinal restoration. In this study, we present three cases of ADF and their respective treatments using three distinct surgical techniques.

Eagle syndrome: An updated review.

Background: This work aims to review the current literature and our experience on vascular Eagle syndrome (ES) that can present misleading clinical presentations and better understand the possible therapeutic strategies.

Methods: We reviewed the existing literature on PubMed from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2022, including the sequential keywords " AND ," " AND ," " AND ," " AND ," and " AND ."

Results: 38 vascular ES cases, including our experience, were analyzed.

Silk Vista Baby flow diverter stent for ruptured intracranial aneurysms: a retrospective observational study.

Purpose: Flow diversion changed the approach to complex intracranial aneurysms, leading to a widespread use and a rapid technological evolution. Indeed, indications continued to expand, including ruptured intracranial aneurysms in selected cases. Recently, new devices have been designed specifically to target smaller vessels.

Real-Time Pleural Elastography: Potential Usefulness in Nonintubated Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery.

Pleural adhesions are a major challenge in standard and nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery. The currently available imaging techniques help to assess the presence and extent of pleural adhesions, but do not provide information on tissue deformability, which is crucial for intraoperative management. In this report, we describe the utilization of real-time elastography mapping of pleural adhesions.
