Background: Endovascular treatment devices of the femoropopliteal artery have evolved, improving clinical results. However, the effects of dynamic changes in the popliteal artery during knee flexion have not been sufficiently investigated. In this study we performed a 3-dimensional analysis to clarify the dynamic changes in the popliteal artery during knee flexion and their effects on hemodynamics.

- The study compared the outcomes of distal bypass surgery for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in hemodialysis-dependent (HD) patients versus renal transplant (RT) patients, focusing on factors like mortality and limb salvage rates.
- Out of 334 bypass procedures, HD patients exhibited better 30-day mortality and five-year patency rates compared to RT patients, with no deaths in the RT group.
- The results indicated that RT patients had a significantly lower limb salvage rate and worse outcomes largely due to disease progression in their distal arteries after surgery.
Background: Histoplasmosis is considered a fairly rare imported mycosis in Japan. Here we report a case of histoplasmosis describing the preoperative findings, histopathological findings, supposed infection route, and appropriate treatment, including the postoperative management.
Case Presentation: A healthy 65-year-old man was found at routine medical check-up to have an abnormal opacity on chest radiography.
