Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated mid-term outcomes of "short" inframalleolar vein bypasses in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) who previously experienced failed tibial endovascular treatments.
- A total of 107 CLTI patients were analyzed for early and 3-year outcomes, focusing on survival rates and patency levels; results indicated a 66.7% overall survival at three years.
- Insulin treatment and long-term corticosteroid use were found to negatively impact patency and limb salvage rates, emphasizing the need for careful management of these conditions in patients undergoing such procedures.

Article Synopsis
- The Manta Vascular Closure Device, designed for closing large-bore arterial accesses, was evaluated to see if it performs as well as the ProGlide device in terms of achieving hemostasis after endovascular procedures.
- A retrospective study was conducted on 524 cases of (T)EVAR procedures between January 2021 and April 2023, comparing outcomes of 355 procedures using Manta versus 169 using ProGlide.
- Results showed similar complication rates and effectiveness for both devices, although Manta had a statistically larger sheath size, indicating that both are viable options for vascular closure.
Computational surgery (CS) is an interdisciplinary field that uses mathematical models and algorithms to focus specifically on operative planning, simulation, and outcomes analysis to improve surgical care provision. As the digital revolution transforms the surgical work environment through broader adoption of artificial intelligence and machine learning, close collaboration between surgeons and computational scientists is not only unavoidable, but will become essential. In this review, the authors summarize the main advances, as well as ongoing challenges and prospects, that surround the implementation of CS techniques in vascular surgery, with a particular focus on the care of patients affected by abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).
