This case report describes a unique presentation of May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) in a 28-year-old woman, characterized by the congenital bifurcation of the left common iliac vein (LCIV) into the outer (OLCIV) and inner (ILCIV) segments. Both veins experienced significant compression - OLCIV proximally and ILCIV medially - due to the overlying right common iliac artery (RCIA) and lumbar spine. The patient presented with bilateral spider veins, lower extremity swelling, pelvic discomfort, and bilateral leg cramping.

Article Synopsis
  • * In a group of 45 patients treated with high-flow bypass, a 96% success rate in graft patency was observed, with significant thrombosis rates (78% at one year and 96% at three years) and neurological symptom improvement in 69% of cases.
  • * The research concludes that high-flow bypass remains a viable treatment alternative, especially when flow diverter stenting may not be suitable, emphasizing its high safety and effectiveness.

Management of giant complex thrombosed aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is challenging. Most giant MCA aneurysms possess some unfavorable features, such as incorporation of key MCA branches, efferent or perforating vessels originating from the sac, mural calcifications, intraluminal thrombi, or fusiform configurations. Due to these peculiar features, traditional clipping or simple endovascular coiling is generally not able to treat these aneurysms.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the long-term outcomes of minimally invasive multi-vessel off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG) compared to minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery, focusing on aspects like angina pectoris and overall survival.
  • Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of 1,149 patients from a single center, adjusting for preoperative demographics to ensure fair comparison between the two surgical methods.
  • Results show that long-term outcomes, such as the rate of freedom from angina and survival rates, were quite similar for both MICS CABG and MIDCAB, suggesting that MICS CABG could be a viable alternative despite its lower adoption rate.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the optimal dose of dexmedetomidine as a 0.59% ropivacaine adjuvant for epidural anesthesia on perioperative hemodynamics and anesthesia efficacy in patients undergoing great saphenous varicose vein surgery.

Methods: A total of 90 patients were randomly divided into three groups: 0.
