Aneurysms of the innominate and subclavian arteries are uncommon but associated with high mortality rates. We report herein the case of a 45-year-old man who presented with facial anhidrosis that developed several years after blunt thoracic trauma, in whom an aneurysm involving the innominate and subclavian arteries was revealed by preoperative examinations. Resection of the aneurysm and reconstruction from the ascending aorta to both the subclavian and common carotid arteries using a bifurcated graft was successfully performed without brain perfusion. Although the left posterior cerebral artery, which was not manipulated during surgery, became occluded, it was recanalized by thrombolysis. The patient was discharged in good health and has remained well since.

The optimal management of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) remains a controversial subject. While some surgeons opt for a hemiarch approach to minimize bypass and cross-clamping time, others prefer partial or total arch replacement to prevent the need for additional operations. The advent of hybrid approaches offers a variety of options to the aortic surgeon in treating ATAAD.

Objective: To describe the treatment outcomes of patients who underwent Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) for Central Vein Occlusive Disease (CVOD) in end-stage kidney disease and determine the association between patient profile and treatment outcomes.
Methods: A single-institution, retrospective review of patients aged 18 and above with end-stage kidney disease who underwent PTA for CVOD in the University of the Philippines - Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2022, was performed. These patients' demographic and clinical profiles were evaluated using means, frequencies, and percentages.

Purpose: Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare form of chronic vasculitis that is common in Asian female. As TAK predominantly affects young female with a longer life expectancy than those with atherosclerotic diseases, assessing the specific long-term outcomes of TAK treatment is important. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and post-procedural complications of surgical and endovascular treatment for TAK.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed outcomes after systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt placement in 223 patients with biventricular circulation from January 2014 to June 2023.
- Primary focus was on major adverse shunt-related events, which included issues requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other interventions, with a notably low early death rate (1.8%).
- Results showed a high probability (94.2%) of successful biventricular repair at 24 months, with specific risk factors like associated genetic anomalies significantly increasing the chances of in-hospital complications.
Association of Subclavian Steal Phenomenon with Prevalence of Contralateral Vertebral Artery Atherosclerotic Stenosis: A Hospital-Based Cohort Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between subclavian steal phenomenon (SSP) and atherosclerotic stenosis in the opposite vertebral artery (VA) in patients with significant subclavian artery or innominate artery stenosis.
- It includes a total of 774 patients, with 309 (39.9%) exhibiting SSP, and uses digital subtraction angiography to assess both SSP and contralateral vertebral artery stenosis (VAS).
- The results indicate that the presence of SSP is linked to a lower likelihood of contralateral VAS, particularly in patients with either left or right subclavian artery stenosis.
