Patients with Acute Limb Ischemia Might Benefit from Endovascular Therapy-A 17-Year Retrospective Single-Center Series of 985 Patients.

Acute lower limb ischemia (ALI) is a common vascular emergency, requiring urgent revascularization by open or endovascular means. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate patient demographics, treatment and periprocedural variables affecting the outcome in ALI patients in a consecutive cohort in a tertiary referral center. Primary outcome events (POE) were 30-day (safety) and 180-day (efficacy) combined mortality and major amputation rates, respectively.

A Modern Series of Secondary Aortoenteric Fistula - A 19-Year Experience.

Objectives: Secondary aortoenteric fistula is a rare and life-threatening condition. Clear evidence on the ideal therapeutic approach is largely missing. This study aims to analyze symptoms, etiology, risk factors, and outcomes based on procedural details.

The Incidence of IgG4-Related and Inflammatory Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Is Rare in a 101 Patient Cohort.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are the most frequent aortic dilation, with considerable morbidity and mortality. Inflammatory (infl) and IgG4-positive AAAs represent specific subtypes of unclear incidence and clinical significance. Here, histologic and serologic analyses with retrospective clinical data acquisition are investigated via detailed histology, including morphologic (HE, EvG: inflammatory subtype, angiogenesis, and fibrosis) and immunhistochemic analyses (IgG and IgG4).

Skeletal muscle optoacoustics reveals patterns of circulatory function and oxygen metabolism during exercise.

Imaging skeletal muscle function and metabolism, as reported by local hemodynamics and oxygen kinetics, can elucidate muscle performance, severity of an underlying disease or outcome of a treatment. Herein, we used multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) to image hemodynamics and oxygen kinetics within muscle during exercise. Four healthy volunteers underwent three different hand-grip exercise challenges (60s isometric, 120s intermittent isometric and 60s isotonic).

Acute abdominal aortic occlusion: A 16-year single-center experience.

Background: Acute abdominal aortic occlusion (AAO) is a rare vascular emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. In the present study, we analyzed the clinical management and outcomes for a consecutive patient series during a 16-year period.

Methods: We included all patients with an acute AAO and bilateral acute limb ischemia who had been treated between 2004 and 2019.
