Very few studies have addressed the repair of autogenous and prosthetic-related false arteriovenous access (AVA) aneurysms in hemodialysis patients. Surgical management of complicated AVA-related aneurysms remains the gold standard method although covered stents have recently been introduced for the exclusion of such aneurysms, offering a minimally invasive therapy. In this paper, we describe a combination of open and endovascular repair for treating an anastomotic and a puncture-site aneurysm to salvage a failing long-standing autogenous radial-cephalic fistula in the wrist. Resection of the anastomotic aneurysm and reconstruction of the anastomosis proximally was initially performed. Via the first cm of the anastomosis, a Fluency® stent graft (SG) was inserted and it successfully excluded the mid-outflow vein false aneurysm. Such hybrid therapies may be the future of AVA revisions and this trend should not be overlooked by nephrologists and vascular surgeons.

Objective: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) requires revascularization whenever it is possible. The great saphenous vein represents the surgical conduit of choice. However, it is not always available, in particular in multi-operated patients.

Early-stage laryngeal cancer (T1-T2) is commonly treated with organ-preserving techniques such as transoral laser microsurgery (TOLMS) or radiation therapy (RT), both providing comparable oncological outcomes but differing in functional results. Local recurrence occurs in approximately 10% of cases, making salvage surgery a crucial therapeutic option. This multi-institutional study investigates the efficacy of open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL) as a salvage treatment, following recurrent laryngeal squamous-cell carcinoma (LSCC) after failed TOLMS.

Background: With recent advances in clinical practice, including the use of reduced-toxicity conditioning regimens and innovative approaches such as ex vivo TCRαβ/CD19 depletion of haploidentical donor stem cells or post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY), hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has emerged as a curative treatment option for a growing population of patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI). However, despite these promising developments, graft failure (GF) remains a significant concern associated with HSCT in these patients. Although a second HSCT is the only established salvage therapy for patients who experience GF, there are no uniform, standardized strategies for performing these second transplants.

Objective: Magnetic anastomosis is an innovative technique for establishing esophageal continuity in infants born with esophageal atresia. Few case series featuring this technology have been published, with even fewer reports on complications. We present the entire Canadian experience with this approach.

Introduction: Esophagus reconstruction could be complicated by leakage, stenosis or graft loss. Salvage surgery may be needed in case of failure of endoscopic treatment or large esophagus defect. Although free jejunal flap is admitted for salvage head and neck reconstruction, few reports assess the results of free jejunal interposition in salvage esophagus reconstruction.
