A new operation is described for the definitive treatment of acutely occluded axillary femoral bypass grafts in patients who have previously had an infected aortofemoral prosthesis removed. An aortofemoral or aortopopliteal artery bypass is constructed by using the supraceliac aorta for the proximal anastomosis and avoiding the infrarenal retroperitoneal area. The disadvantages of other extra-anatomic bypasses are thus corrected and long-term patency enhanced.

Purpose: Wide acceptance of arthroscopically treating posterolateral corner injuries has not occurred. There remains a fear of neurovascular (NV) injury while arthroscopically performing these reconstructions. The study's aim is to compare on Magnetic Resonance Scans the distance of the tibial tunnel in an arthroscopic popliteus tendon reconstruction (APB) and arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction (APC) to the popliteal neurosvascular bundle.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide, and the most common form is coronary artery disease (CAD). Treatment options include coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) or percutaneous heart intervention (PCI), but both have drawbacks. Bare metal stents (BMS) are commonly used to treat CAD; however, they lead to restenosis.

Background: A partial atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) with a hypoplastic left ventricle and common atrium is a rare combination of cardiac anomalies that can be associated with Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome.

Case Summary: A female neonate with EVC syndrome was diagnosed with an unbalanced AVSD and hypoplastic left ventricle. Pulmonary artery banding and ductus ligation were performed at 23 days after birth.

Background: End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is an independent risk factor in outcomes for traditional coronary artery bypass grafting (TRAD-CAB) utilizing aortic cross-clamping and cardioplegic arrest. In order to determine if Beating-Heart CABG (BH-CABG) techniques offer benefit in patients with ESRD, an analysis of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) predicted risk versus the actual outcomes was performed.

Methods: Between March 2017 - October 2023, all ESRD patients underwent BH-CABG by a single surgeon at a single institution.
