Custom-made fenestrated Anaconda™ leg extension internal iliac artery aneurysm: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Internal iliac artery aneurysms repair represents a life-threatening condition due to their anatomical position and the risk of rupture. Iliac branch devices are strongly recommended for anatomically suitable patients, but limited alternatives exist when their use is unsuitable. The use of custom-made fenestrated endografts is well documented in other aortic territories, however, their application for the treatment of internal iliac artery aneurysm remains limited.

Amputation-Free Survival, WIfI Stage, and GLASS Classifications in Distal Crural or Pedal Bypass for Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia.

: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a severe condition with high risks of amputation and mortality, especially in patients with distal crural or pedal artery disease. Despite advances in endovascular techniques, bypass surgery remains crucial for patients with CLTI. This study aimed to investigate amputation-free survival, Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection (WIfI) staging, and Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) classifications in patients undergoing distal crural or pedal bypass for CLTI.

Endovascular repair of pararenal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms with inner and outer off-the-shelf multibranched endografts: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: During the last years a great progress has been noted in device technology and operator experience in treating complex aortic aneurysms. Fenestrated and branched custom-made devices require detailed preoperative planning and production time that can take ≤12 weeks. During this awaiting period, aortic-related mortality is increased.

The Clock Is Ticking - Brain Atrophy in Case of Acute Trauma?

Objective: Brain atrophy and brain herniation are gaining a lot of attention separately, but a limited amount of studies connected them together, and because of this, we are going to review and examine the subject in the current meta-analysis.

Methods: The authors collected data reporting brain atrophy of alcoholic and schizophrenic cause, as well as data on control patients, all of which was published on MEDLINE between 1996 and 2018. The included 11 articles were processed with a statistical program.

Clinical anatomy and significance of the thoracic intervertebral foramen: A cadaveric study and review of the literature.

Introduction: The literature is lacking information on the anatomy and the osseous dimensions of the thoracic intervertebral foramen (IVF). We describe the anatomy of the broader area, and we proceed with morphometric data of the vertebrae and the foramina. Depiction of these features is provided with imaging and illustrations.
