The operations of semiclosed endarterecromy of the aortofemoral zone arteries were shown to have a number of advantages over shunting interventions with synthetic transplants. They are quick, not traumatic and have better results of long term patency. However, their application is limited by certain indications. Femoral amputations in patients with lesions of the aorta and iliac arteries independent of the age should not be recommended as a method of treatment of critical ischemia of lower extremities. Reconstructive operations on the vessels of this zone provide longer duration and better quality of life of the patients.

Introduction: This study aimed to retrospectively determine the association between aortic dilatation and common iliac artery neck size.
Methods: Consecutive patients who had undergone elective endovascular aneurysm repair for iliac artery aneurysms (IAAs) from January 2009 to December 2017 were evaluated.
Results: Aneurysm dilatations >3 mm were observed in five cases; two cases were LAND+ and three cases were LAND-.

A 24-day-old female Japanese Black calf presented a sudden paraplegia after a history of watery diarrhea. Antemortem magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the suspicion of thrombotic component in the abdominal aorta, without any spinal cord abnormality at the lumbar region. On necropsy, a massive thrombus occupied the lumen from the distal abdominal aorta to the bifurcation of the external iliac arteries.

Interventional Radiology (IR) can be a crucial player in managing placenta accrete spectrum disorder (PAS), offering minimally invasive angiographic techniques that can prevent or control hemorrhage and preserve fertility. These include prophylactic balloon occlusion of the aorta or iliac arteries, preoperative catheter placement in the iliac or uterine arteries for subsequent embolization, or pre-emptive arterial embolization preceding hysterotomy and delivery. This review provides obstetricians with an overview of IR's role in the management of PAS by describing specific endovascular techniques; existing outcomes data; and considerations for protocol development, preoperative planning, and intraoperative dynamics for when IR assists with PAS cases.

A woman in her 70s with hypertension, breast cancer and diverticulosis underwent laparoscopic anterior resection for a tubule-villous adenoma, converted to open Hartmann's with aorto-bi-iliac bypass due to a vascular injury. Intraoperative complications included haem-o-lok penetration of the calcified aorta, necessitating vascular team intervention. Postoperative issues included bilateral popliteal artery emboli requiring embolectomy and fasciotomy, and a parastomal abscess.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of aortoiliac CT-Angiography (CTA) using dual-source photon-counting detector (PCD)-CT with minimal iodine dose.
Methods: This IRB-approved, single-center prospective study enrolled patients with indications for aortoiliac CTA from December 2022 to March 2023. All scans were performed using a first-generation dual-source PCD-CT.
