Objectives: While the use of endovascular intervention for peripheral artery disease (PAD) has expanded in recent years, there remains relatively few studies focused on the endovascular treatment of isolated popliteal artery occlusive disease. The popliteal artery presents a particular challenge for endovascular intervention due to the constant flexion at the knee. We sought to assess the outcomes for endovascular management of isolated popliteal artery occlusive disease based on type of intervention performed.

Thus, technical reports and video illustrations of these operations are rare. We report the stepwise management of multivascular reconstruction for Mayo Clinic class IIIb CA resections at New York University Langone Health, a dedicated center of excellence in pancreatic surgery.

Article Synopsis
- * The study found that patients without healing had significantly higher rates of amputation and noncompliance compared to those whose ulcers healed, highlighting the importance of TCC adherence in treatment success.
- * Subgroup analysis revealed that patients undergoing revascularization interventions had better healing outcomes (66.7% healed) and noted lower ABI scores, indicating more severe vascular issues, compared to those who did not require additional procedures. *
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of polyvascular disease on outcomes after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) using data from the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) from 2012-2022.
- Researchers evaluated 21,160 patients, finding that those with disease in three arterial beds had higher rates of complications and major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) post-surgery compared to those with disease in fewer beds.
- The findings concluded that polyvascular disease significantly worsens peri-operative outcomes, increasing the odds of MACEs and mortality after EVAR.
