Purpose: Vasovagal syncope is thought to be mediated by a progressive fall in cardiac output secondary to venous pooling of blood in the splanchnic circulation. How and when this occurs before syncope has not been determined.
Methods: A total of 20 patients who became hypotensive during head-up tilt (age 40.
Article Synopsis
- Segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) is a rare condition that affects mesenteric blood vessels and is characterized by the absence of inflammation or plaque buildup.
- A case study involves a 67-year-old woman who experienced severe abdominal pain shortly after an elective aortic procedure, leading to the discovery of new aneurysms in her mesenteric vessels.
- Despite efforts to treat the largest aneurysm through endovascular embolization, a postmortem examination ultimately confirmed that she had SAM.
Carnosine as a potential therapeutic for the management of peripheral vascular disease.

Aims: To evaluate the potential role of carnosine in the management of peripheral vascular disease.
Data Synthesis: Peripheral vascular disease is growing in its burden and impact; however it is currently under researched, and there are a lack of strong, non-invasive therapeutic options for the clinicians. Carnosine is a dipeptide stored particularly in muscle and brain tissue, which exhibits a wide range of physiological activities, which may be beneficial as an adjunct treatment for peripheral vascular disease.
Pseudoendoleak: A post-endovascular aortic repair ultrasound surveillance pitfall - Single institution case series.
J Med Imaging Radiat Oncol
December 2022
Introduction: In the context of increasingly common endovascular treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms, endoleak is a relatively common complication of (abdominal) EVAR, and ongoing multimodality surveillance programs are recommended by expert bodies including the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS). We describe the colour doppler ultrasound (CDUS) finding defined as pseudoendoleak that may be misinterpreted as significant endoleak and may be resolved through the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS).
Methods: Retrospective review of cases at our institution identified five cases where apparent endoleak on CDUS was not evident on CEUS, performed immediately following CDUS.
