The Authors describe the interposition vein cuff technique as an adjuvant method to infrainguinal prosthetic bypass grafts. The haemodynamic, mechanical and humoral factors thought to be involved in the beneficial effects of the vein cuff are herein discussed. The results of the main series suggest the use of this method particularly in patients without any available autologous vein conduit requiring a below-knee popliteal or crural reconstruction.

Correlation between popliteal vein functional diameter and the severity of chronic venous disease.

Interventional Vascular Department, Jinan University Affiliated Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital, Guangzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- This study focused on examining how the diameter of the popliteal vein changes under pressure and its link to chronic venous disease severity.
- Ultrasound was used on 173 lower limbs to measure the vein's diameter before and after compression, with a statistical analysis performed to assess the relationship between vein size and clinical severity scores.
- Results showed a negative correlation, indicating that as the severity of chronic venous disease increases, the functional diameter of the popliteal vein decreases, suggesting that these measurements could help quantify disease severity.
Appropriate tourniquet pressure for peripherally inserted central catheter placement in the upper arm.

Purpose: A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement often requires ultrasound guidance. Previous studies using an adult blood pressure cuff have suggested that veins do not easily collapse at the tourniquet pressure from diastolic to systolic blood pressure. When inserting a PICC into the basilic vein of the upper arm, a narrow blood pressure cuff should be used as a tourniquet to avoid concealing the puncture site.

In recent years, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been performed for left main trunk lesions and severe three-vessel lesions, which were previously considered indications for coronary artery bypass grafting( CABG). As a result, more patients with poorer general conditions or vascular characteristics are being considered for CABG. In the current era of PCI, surgeons are required to achieve high bypass graft patency and to perform anastomosis according to the coronary artery lesion and the characteristics of the bypass graft.

Background: Ultrasound guidance is commonly used for accessing difficult peripheral veins. For successful access, a tourniquet is required for venodilation. Tourniquets decrease the compressibility and increase the diameter of veins; they also obfuscate artery-vein differentiation on ultrasound.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
