Objective: Stent-assisted remote iliac endarterectomy (SA-RIEA) is a hybrid minimally invasive technique for treating patients with combined external iliac and common femoral disease, when the only alternative would be conventional open revascularisation.
Design: This was a retrospective, single-centre study.
Materials And Methods: From January 2004 to April 2010, 155 SA-RIEA procedures were performed. The patients' mean age was 62 (range, 43-86) years. Indications for surgery were: severe claudication in 79 (51%), rest pain in 43 (28%) and gangrene in 33 (21%) cases. The mean length of follow-up was 21 months.
Result: Initial technical success was achieved in 145 (93.5%) procedures. Ten patients required conversion to a conventional iliofemoral reconstructive procedure. The 1-, 3- and 5-year primary, primary-assisted and secondary patency rates were 80.2%, 74.7% and 69.3%; 84.8%, 82.4% and 78.2%; and 86.8%, 84.2% and 79.6%, respectively. Within the first 30 days, there were no early reocclusions, one (0.6%) perioperative death due to myocardial infarction, five (3.4%) minor wound complications and two (1.3%) limb losses. During follow-up, seven patients underwent open reconstruction due to symptomatic reocclusion, and four were re-operated on due to symptomatic restenosis (three percutaneous transluminal angioplasties (PTAs), one reendarterectomy).
Conclusion: In patients with combined common femoral and external iliac disease, SA-RIEA appears to offer a safe and effective alternative to conventional open surgery.

Background: Open pelvic fractures are rare but represent a serious clinical problem with high mortality rates. Acute mortality is often associated with hemorrhage, whereas delayed mortality is most often associated with sepsis and multiple organ failure. We report a case of Wang's classification of type II open pelvic ring fracture with hemorrhagic shock and septic shock from gas gangrene.

We report a case of a 75-year-old man diagnosed with Parkes-Weber syndrome with an infected common femoral artery aneurysm secondary to chronic venous ulcers and groin infection. Given the symptomatic and rapid enlargement of the aneurysm, emergency aneurysmectomy and crossover femoro-femoral bypass were performed with an omental flap routed intraluminally through the aneurysm of the ipsilateral external iliac artery. The transarterial route enabled the short-cutting of the omental flap and the potential prevention of infection in the adjacent external iliac artery.

Lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) is getting global attention as an a surgical option to reduce local recurrence in locally advanced rectal cancer. As the transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is gaining popularity worldwide, a novel LLND approach was established adopting a two-team approach that combines the transabdominal and transanal approaches using the TaTME technique. This narrative review describes the advantages, anatomical landmarks, surgical techniques, and pitfalls of transanal LLND (TaLLND).

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.
