The authors describe a rare case of acute peripheral ischemia in a young patient, following a lower limb orthopaedic surgery. The clinical presentation and diagnosis tests suggested a Horton arteritis with peripheral symptoms, although the temporal artery biopsy was negative. Since the etiology was unclear, the authors considered the influence of local trauma (initial and surgical), of Ergot derivatives and antibiotic treatment, but the clinical outcome after corticotherapy strongly indicated a temporal arteritis.

Introduction: The Rutherford Classification for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is used to categorize peripheral artery disease severity through history and physical examination. This study investigated whether higher Rutherford Classification correlates with worse clinical outcomes and could serve as a predictive tool.
Methods: In this prospective single-center study , 252 patients undergoing lower extremity revascularization were followed for three years (2020-2023).

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Triglyceride glucose index (Tyg), a convenient evaluation variable for insulin resistance, has shown associations with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies on the Tyg index's predictive value for adverse prognosis in patients with AF without diabetes are lacking.

: Sirolimus-coated balloons (SCBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to paclitaxel-coated devices for the treatment of femoropopliteal lesions. However, real-world data on SCB performance in also complex peripheral arterial disease remains unknown. We sought to evaluate the safety and 12-month clinical outcomes of the Selution SLR™ balloon angioplasty in a challenging real-world patient cohort.
