Kirschner pins are being increasingly used by orthopedic surgeons in the treatment of skeletal fractures after severe bodily injuries. As a result, there have been reports in the literature about the various complications caused by the Kirschner pin, such as wound laceration or hematoma. However, to our knowledge, pseudoaneurysm of the popliteal artery due to Kirschner pin in the late postoperative period has not been reported previously in the English literature. Herein, we present a child with pseudoaneurysm of the popliteal artery after reconstruction of a tibia fracture using Kirschner pin insertion.

Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is an autosomal dominant disorder that results from mutations in the collagen type III gene. It is a risk factor for medium-sized artery aneurysms, dissections, and ruptures. We report a case of hemoperitoneum due to medial dissection and rupture of the superior mesenteric artery related to vEDS.

Bony exostoses, or osteochondromas, are benign bone tumors that usually develop at growth plates during the growth period. Large exostosis can compress nearby vascular structures, causing occlusion, perforation, or pseudoaneurysm. We report a case of a middle-aged woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and atherosclerotic risk factors who had an unusual presentation of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) of the left leg combined with a flare-up of RA.

Purpose: Vascular injuries require immediate surgical treatment with standard vascular techniques. We aimed to identify pitfalls in vascular surgery for trauma team optimization and to suggest recommendations for trauma and vascular surgeons.
Methods: We reviewed 28 victims and analyzed the patterns of injuries, methods of repair, and outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and success rate of the TurboHawk peripheral plaque excision system for treating femoral popliteal artery blockages over the mid-term, based on different GLASS grades.
- Researchers analyzed clinical data from 141 patients treated with TurboHawk between January 2018 and July 2022, monitoring factors like limb ischemia symptoms, technical success rates, and primary patency rates.
- Results showed a 100% technical success rate with significant improvements in limb ischemia symptoms and a primary patency rate of 98.58%, with no major complications during follow-up, indicating TurboHawk is an effective treatment for chronic total occlusions.
