Hybrid superficial venous arterialization and endovascular deep venous arterialization.

We report on two venous arterialization (VA) techniques for treatment of CLTI in patients traditionally considered as having no treatment options for standard arterial endovascular or surgical bypass procedures. Screening and the preprocedural workup findings are outlined as deciding factors in determining a patient's fitness for the two techniques, with a focus on careful preprocedure arterial duplex ultrasound and assessment for vein suitability. Cardiac and infection screening are also factors in determining patient suitability for VA.

Early experience with venous arterialization for limb salvage in no-option patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia.

Objective: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is associated with adverse limb outcomes and increased mortality. However, a small subset of the CLTI population will have no feasible conventional methods of revascularization. In such cases, venous arterialization (VA) could provide an alternative for limb salvage.

Very Late Aortic Endograft Infection With Listeria monocytogenes in an Elderly Man.

Endograft infection with Listeria monocytogenes is a rare, potentially devastating complication of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. To our knowledge, only 8 cases have been reported. We describe the case of a 72-year-old man who presented with L.

Influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of chronic limb-threatening ischemia.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted patients with conditions that are associated with significant morbidity, but might not be immediately life-threatening. Patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) were affected by delays in care, potentially increasing major limb amputations. This study sought to review strategies employed, and limb salvage outcomes reported, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
