Objective: To evaluate repair and reconstruction of the femoral pseudoaneurysm caused by drug injection.
Methods: From May 2000 to May 2005, 15 cases of femoral pseudoaneurysm caused by drug injection underwent operation treatment. All patients were male, aging 20-36 years. The disease course was 18-52 days (mean 35 days) and the course of drug injection was 3-17 months. The locations were the left side in 5 cases and the right side in 10 cases. After having been bandaged with pressure and supported with nutrition, they had been all operated. One case received fistula repair, and 14 cases received vascular grafting with ePTFE man-made blood vessel.
Results: The wounds healed by the first intention in 14 cases. All limbs survived. The complexion, temperature and response of involved leg were in gear. The postoperative color ultrasound Doppler detection showed that all the vascular grafts were of patency. The function of the involved limbs restored to normal.
Conclusion: Complete debridement, vascular reconstruction and better microsurgery skill were the key factors of treating successfully the femoral pseudoaneurysm caused by drug injection.

Article Synopsis
- Endovascular procedures like TAVR, TEVAR, and EVAR are becoming more common but still carry risks, especially for older and frail patients.
- This paper discusses two cases where complications arose from large bore access during such procedures and the innovative methods used to manage them.
- The insights gained from these cases provide valuable guidance for clinicians facing similar challenges in future interventions.

Objectives: Ruptured mycotic pseudoaneurysms are rare, yet devastating complications that can prove challenging to manage. In immunocompromised populations, highly virulent organisms such as Gemella morbillorum can be especially difficult to combat. Here, we outline our approach to temporizing maneuvers in an emergent setting and definitive revascularization in a 27-year-old with a ruptured mycotic iliac artery pseudoaneurysm from necrosis of her kidney and pancreas allografts.

Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a rare disorder that is characterized by vascular lesions mainly caused by vascular fragility, such as spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistula (sCCF). We experienced a patient who presented with sCCF but suffered postoperative multiple vascular arteriopathy complications caused by undiagnosed vEDS. A 39-year-old woman who had no physical and medical characteristics indicating vEDS was referred to our hospital due to sudden onset of headache and pulsatile tinnitus.

- - The study compares radial and femoral access during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, focusing on complications associated with each method.
- - Results show that the radial access group had a significantly lower rate of complications (11.4% vs. 22.9%) and major bleeding events (2.3% vs. 8.6%), as well as shorter hospital stays (three days vs. five days).
- - Despite these differences in complications and hospital stays, the procedural success rates were similar for both access sites (97.1% for radial vs. 94.3% for femoral).

Background: Describe the technique and the long-term results of total laparoscopic aorto-bifemoral bypass for juxtarenal aortic occlusion (JRAO).
Methods: From December 2000 to January 2023, 16 patients with a JRAO (TASC D lesions) underwent total laparoscopic aorto-bifemoral bypass. The patients' database was prospective and the file analysis was retrospective.
