There was summarized the experience of treatment of 25 patients for obliterating atherosclerosis of external iliac artery, in 10 of whom the external artery reconstruction, using the elaborated miniinvasive method, was performed. The intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications rate reduction, the quality of life improvement, the stationary treatment period shortening and its cost lowering, the achievement of better cosmetic effect were noted.

Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) in patients with intermediate-to-high surgical risk is currently being treated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We present a case of a TAVR in a severe calcific AS with porcelain aorta and 'gothic' aortic arch. Pre-operative thoraco-abdominal computed tomography angiography showed also severe calcification at the sinotubular junction with protruding huge calcified nodules extending in ascending aorta and multiple calcific stenosis of both iliac-femoral vessels, severely tortuous.

Background: The hybrid room (HR) is a complex, high-risk environment, requiring teams (surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, technologists) to master various skills, including the 'As Low As Reasonably Achievable' principle of radiation safety. This prospective single center cohort reports the first use of the Operating Room Black Box (ORBB) in a HR. This medical data recording system captures procedural and audio-visual data to facilitate structured team performance analysis.

Background: Total occlusion of the iliac-femoral tract can cause a variety of life-limiting symptoms ranging from mild claudication to chronic limb-threatening ischemia. Efforts should be made to revascularize the symptomatic ischemic limb. Currently there are different options in the vascular surgeon's armamentarium to achieve this.

Objective: Graft infections are rare but serious complications of vascular operations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of in situ reconstruction with bovine pericardium in infected aortic and peripheral vessel fields.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted with a focus on the treatment of infected grafts with bovine pericardium.

Background: Major venous injury during open aortic reconstruction though uncommon often result in sudden and massive blood loss resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. This study details the etiology, management, and outcome of such injuries.
Methods: A retrospective review of 945 patients (1981-2017) undergoing aortic reconstruction from 2 midsized (350 bed each) teaching hospitals was conducted.
