A 37 -year-old woman was found to have a giant mass in her right chest with an abnormal abdominal vascular supply at preoperative workup. Suspecting a pulmonary sequestration, the lesion was embolized and then removed through a standard thoracotomy. A broad-based, vascularized pedicle connected the mass to the diaphragm. Final pathology demonstrated a solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura with no malignant features. We believe this is the first case of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura with a direct vascular supply from the abdominal aorta at the level of the renal arteries reported in the literature.

Cardiac implantable electronic devices infections (CIEDI) are associated with poor survival despite the improvement in transvenous lead extraction (TLE). Aetiology and systemic involvement are driving factors of clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore their contribute on overall mortality.

Fabricating complex hierarchical structures mimicking natural vessels and arteries is pivotal for addressing problems of cardiovascular diseases. Various fabrication strategies have been explored to achieve this goal, each contributing unique advantages and challenges to the development of functional vascular grafts. In this study, a three-layered tubular structure resembling vascular grafts was fabricated using biocompatible and biodegradable copolymers of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) using advanced manufacturing techniques.

Background: Distal radius fractures are prevalent in small and toy-breed dogs, presenting significant treatment challenges due to complications such as delayed union or non-union. These complications are often exacerbated by reduced vascular density at the distal diaphyseal-metaphyseal junction of the radius, which is vital for bone healing, particularly in toy and small breed dogs. Circular external fixation (CEF) is known for its effectiveness in managing acute and chronic fractures and providing temporary stabilization in humans.
