Background: Total vascular exclusion (TVE) causes warm liver ischemia. The complete explanation of the events during inflow and outflow obstruction of the liver during selective TVE has not yet been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the liver injury caused by inflow-outflow obstruction in the rat liver.
Materials And Methods: Forty Wistar-Albino rats were divided into four groups. Liver inflow occlusion (groups A and C) or inflow-outflow occlusion (groups B and D) was applied for 30 minutes. Samples were collected at the end of the ischemia period. We examined oxidative injury in the liver tissue and liver histopathology.
Results: Oxidative stress and histopathologic alterations were more prominent with TVE application. Significant alterations were shown in hepatic superoxide dismutase, glutathione, and glutathione S-transferase levels. Central segments of the rat liver were affected significantly from inflow occlusion, whereas dome segments were significantly damaged from inflow-outflow occlusion.
Conclusions: Inflow-outflow occlusion of the liver caused more tissue damage compared with inflow occlusion. The pattern of distribution of the damage due to TVE seemed different from other well-known ischemia-reperfusion injuries.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to retrospectively review patients with post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and investigate its long-term outcomes, and a novel classification were presented across multiple institutions.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients with PTS who underwent endovascular therapy at two institutions between January 2018 and September 2023. Baseline patient demographics, lesion characteristics, and in-hospital and follow-up outcomes were collected and analyzed retrospectively.

Background And Purpose: Proximal protection devices, such as TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR, SilkRoad Medical, Sunnyvale), aim to yield better outcomes in carotid artery stenting (CAS) than distal protection devices by preventing plaque embolization to the brain. However, transfemoral catheters may not fully reverse flow from the external carotid artery (ECA) to the internal carotid artery (ICA). We assess a new balloon-sheath device, Femoral Flow Reversal Access for Carotid Artery Stenting (FFRACAS), for this purpose.

Splenic steal syndrome (SSS) post liver transplant is a potential cause of graft dysfunction in the setting of peripheral hepatic arterial bed resistance and redirection of blood flow to a dominant splenic artery resulting in reduction of hepatic arterial inflow. We report utilization of balloon occlusion of the proximal splenic artery as an objective measure to confirm the diagnosis of SSS in a patient with orthotopic liver transplant followed by successful treatment with proximal splenic artery embolization using Gelfoam and Amplatzer vascular plug. Written informed consent for the publication of this case report was obtained from the patient.

Background: Hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy is a locoregional treatment for intrahepatic malignancies. HAIPs are surgically implanted, and the catheter tip is typically inserted into a ligated gastroduodenal artery stump. Potential complications at the catheter insertion site include dehiscence, pseudoaneurysm or extravasation, and adjacent hepatic arterial stenosis and thrombosis.

As the number of cerebral aneurysms treated with flow diverters continues to increase, it is important to understand what factors influence not only thrombus formation within the aneurysm cavity but also fibrin accumulation across the device and its associated disruption and blockage of the inflow stream. Both processes contribute to the eventual occlusion of the aneurysm or its continued patency and incomplete occlusion which may require future re-treatment. To investigate fibrin accumulation on flow diverters placed across the neck of cerebral aneurysms, a previously developed computational model that couples flow and fibrin dynamics is used in combination with experimental in vitro models of cerebral aneurysms treated with flow diverters.
