Background: The primary aim of this study was to assess the role of internal iliac patency in predicting outcomes of above-knee amputation (AKA) stump healing. The secondary objectives were to assess the accuracy of Wound, Ischemia, and Foot Infection (WIfI) classification system in predicting AKA stump healing and its association with delayed mortality.
Methods: This is a retrospective study performed in a vascular surgery unit in a tertiary hospital on patients who underwent AKAs over 1 year, from July 2021 until June 2022.
Article Synopsis
- The incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children has increased over the past two decades, with arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) preferred for dialysis access, but maintaining them is often complicated by central venous occlusions caused by prior use of central venous devices.
- A case study of a 10-year-old girl with end-stage renal failure demonstrated successful surgical intervention to address her venous occlusion by performing a bypass from the axillary vein to the external iliac vein, resolving her venous hypertension.
- The report highlights that rising rates of central venous issues in pediatric patients necessitate innovative solutions, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining high flow in AVFs and using antiplatelet therapy post-surgery
Intravascular tumour extension can occur in many different types of cancer. Those with the highest tendency include renal cell carcinoma, adrenal cortical carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. Inferior vena cava (IVC) tumour thrombus in gynaecological malignancy is rarely reported.

- - A 72-year-old man with severe abdominal pain and signs of sepsis was examined, revealing no foreign objects despite abdominal imaging.
- - A diagnostic laparoscopy discovered a toothbrush lodged in the pelvis, causing a 1 cm perforation in the rectum.
- - The toothbrush was removed, the perforation repaired, and a colostomy created, highlighting the need for careful management of rectal foreign bodies due to potential serious injuries.
A primary endovascular approach is the mainstay of intervention for type C aortoiliac disease. When the femoral artery is unsuitable, upper extremity access can be critical in the setting of severe tortuosity or occlusive disease. The axillary artery represents alternative upper extremity access that may accommodate larger sheath sizes for therapeutic interventions.
