This is a case report of a younger woman admitted to hospital with abdominal pain and weight loss. Four weeks after admittance, she was diagnosed with severe bowel ischaemia at laparotomy. Arteriography showed occlusive disease in the mesenteric arteries, which were treated with a stent. The entire intestine was preserved, apart from 10 cm of jejunum due to bowel perforation. The diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa was confirmed based on biopsy and clinical symptoms.

Department of Neurosurgery, University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Buffalo, New York, USA
Background: Early literature on the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device reported 80-90% adequate aneurysm occlusion but low complete occlusion (40-55%). It is uncertain whether residual or recurrent aneurysms require re-treatment to prevent future rupture.
Objective: To systematically review the literature to meta-analyze occlusion and complication rates after re-treatment of these aneurysms.
Randomized comparison of the combined Sirolimus eluting and endothelial progenitor cell Combo stent vs. Biolimus eluting absorbable polymer coated BioMatrix Alpha stent in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Rationale and study design of the Scandinavian Organization for Randomized Trials with Clinical Outcome (SORT OUT) XI trial: SORT-OUT XI Trial Design.

Rationale: The biodegradable polymer BioMatrix Alpha™ stent contains biolimus A9 drug which is sirolimus derivative increase in lipophicity. The biodegradable polymer sirolimus eluting Combo™ stent is a dual-therapy sirolimus-eluting and CD34+ antobody coated stent capturing endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs).
Hypothesis: The main hypothesis of the SORT OUT XI trial was that the biodegradable polymer biolimus A9 BioMatrix Alpha ™ stent is noninferior to the biodegradable polymer sirolimus eluting Combo™ stent in an all-comers population with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
