A 29-year-old pregnant woman sustained blunt, left lower abdominal trauma, with hip and pelvic fractures, and progressive dissection of an intimal flap in the left iliac artery, which manifested two days later as profound ischemia of the left leg. The patient underwent distal thromboembolectomy, fasciotomies and revascularization of the leg by femorofemoral polytetrafluoroethylene bypass. The patient recovered completely and gave normal birth three months later to a healthy child. Four years after the operation she gave uneventful birth to another child. Various considerations pertinent to this complex traumatic-vascular-gestational state are discussed.

Endovascular therapy via a femoro-femoral crossover bypass graft for chronic total occlusion of the superficial femoral artery: Two case reports.
SAGE Open Med Case Rep
November 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Asahi General Hospital, Asahi, Chiba, Japan.
In patients with a femoropopliteal chronic total occlusion (CTO) after femoro-femoral (FF) bypass surgery, it is often difficult to perform endovascular therapy because of access site problems. We have treated two patients with CTO of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) using an FF crossover bypass graft. The two cases were a man with intermittent claudication and acute limb ischemia, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- Femoro-femoral bypass grafts (FFBG) are used to connect femoral arteries in patients with blocked iliac arteries, especially those with serious health issues like heart disease or diabetes, to reduce risks in treatment.
- The case study involved the discovery of an FFBG in an 82-year-old cadaver during anatomy dissection, presumed to aid lower limb blood flow despite the presence of serious comorbidities.
- Additionally, a massive abdominal aortic aneurysm was found in the cadaver, highlighting the complexity of surgical care and the need for collaboration among medical teams to address multiple health challenges.
Differential hypoxemia during peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass.

Article Synopsis
- - Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) for mitral valve repair can lead to a rare issue called differential hypoxemia, where one part of the body suffers from low oxygen levels, particularly in the upper body during surgery.
- - A case study of a 38-year-old man with Barlow Syndrome showed that his right arm's oxygen saturation dropped to 65% due to a dislodged venous cannula, but repositioning restored normal oxygen levels and allowed surgery to continue smoothly.
- - The report suggests implementing monitoring for cerebral oxygenation during MICS procedures, emphasizing the increased risk of stroke and the need for good team communication in the surgical environment.
Development and Validation of a 30-Day Point-Scoring Risk Calculator for Open Groin Vascular Surgery: The George Washington Groin Score.
J Surg Res
November 2024
Department of Surgery, The George Washington University Hospital, Washington, District of Columbia.
Article Synopsis
- Open groin vascular surgeries are crucial for treating peripheral arterial diseases, but they come with risks, necessitating a reliable risk assessment tool for evaluating patient outcomes post-surgery.
- This study created the GW groin score, a 30-day point-scoring risk calculator based on a large sample of over 129,000 surgery patients to gauge the likelihood of mortality and major complications after surgery.
- The GW groin score showed strong predictive ability and was validated both internally and externally, indicating its effectiveness as a risk assessment tool for patients undergoing different types of open groin vascular procedures.

Article Synopsis
- * Retrospective data from 958 surgeries performed between April 2013 and April 2023 showed no mortality related to the procedure and successful cannulation in all patients.
- * The findings suggest that this conventional cannulation technique is a safe and effective alternative that minimizes complications compared to traditional sternotomy methods.
