LEGMO: Extremity Salvage Using Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

Mycotic aneurysm management balances the urgency of excising infected vasculature with the need to revascularize in or near an infected field. We present a case of a 47-year-old man with sepsis, a failed kidney transplant, and a ruptured, previously stented right external iliac pseudoaneurysm. After excision of the infected pseudoaneurysm and stents, lower extremity revascularization was delayed through the innovative use of isolated limb perfusion using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation followed by staged extra-anatomic femoral-femoral bypass.

Impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on axillary nodal involvement in patients with clinically node negative triple negative breast cancer.

Background: We evaluated the impact of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NAC) versus primary surgery (PS) on axillary disease burden/surgery in clinically node negative Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC).

Methods: Two hundred forty-three Stage I-III TNBC patients have enrolled on an IRB approved multisite prospective registry. Clinical and treatment information was collected.
