Background: The purpose of this study was to describe a case of an endovascular exclusion of a ruptured type II renal artery aneurysm in a hemodynamically unstable patient using an endograft.
Methods And Results: A 73-year-old woman, with an extensive medical history, presented with a sudden onset of abdominal pain and hypovolemic shock. A computed tomography scan showed a massive right-sided retroperitoneal hematoma and a type II aneurysm of the right renal artery just proximal to the bifurcation. Angiography demonstrated active contrast extravasation from the aneurysm. The aneurysm was excluded using a 5-cm long, 6-mm wide endograft. After a 6-month interval, duplex ultrasonography showed a patent endograft and normal perfusion of the renal parenchyma in the lower and middle pole, with a glomerular filtration rate of 75 mL/min.
Conclusion: Endovascular exclusion using an endograft may provide a safe and rapid alternative to surgery to treat ruptured renal artery aneurysms in a selected group of patients.

Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in neonates (MIS-N) is a rare condition thought to be associated with prenatal exposure to maternal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. This immune-mediated hyperinflammation has been described in neonates with multiorgan dysfunction, including cardiopulmonary, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, and vascular complications. However, renovascular complications in MIS-N are rare.

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISCM) is a rare manifestation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A 73-year-old man presented with left shoulder pain and left upper extremity weakness for two months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed intramedullary and intradural extramedullary lesions at the C5 level, compressing the spinal cord from the center of the cord and the left ventral side.

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a prevalent surgical procedure aimed at alleviating symptoms and improving survival in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Postoperative care typically necessitates an intensive care unit (ICU) stay, which is ideally less than 24 h. However, various preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors can prolong ICU stays, adversely affecting hospital resources, patient outcomes, and overall healthcare costs.

Background: Aortoiliac screening before kidney transplantation is suggested by some guidelines to select patients for transplantation and to assist surgical planning. We investigated the clinical outcomes of systematic screening for aortoiliac disease in potential kidney transplant candidates.
Methods: In this observational study, 470 potential kidney transplant candidates underwent aortoiliac computed tomography angiography.

Objective: M6A methylation-regulated macrophages play an important role in the occurrence and development of arteriosclerosis. However, their role in lower extremity arteriosclerosis remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to explore the key factors that regulate arteriosclerosis methylation in the lower extremities and the mechanism by which they affect arteriosclerosis by influencing macrophage polarization.
