In this case report, we describe the first reported case of treating a 7-year-old male patient who has a giant, fusiform aneurysm confined to the inferior M2 segment by means of a saphenous vein graft. Given the lack of good endovascular management options for this particular scenario, craniotomy was recommended and an end-to-side ECA-ICA anastomosis was carried out with technical details of the surgery outlined in the manuscript. The patient did not sustain any major postoperative complications. The graft remained patent upon completion of the surgery and at the time of last follow-up, 9 months post-surgery. This case serves as an illustrative example of the need for high-flow bypass for a select few patients even as endovascular technology continues to improve.

Long-term results and neuropathy of internal carotid artery aneurysms treated with high-flow bypass using saphenous vein graft and parent artery occlusion.

Article Synopsis
- * In a group of 45 patients treated with high-flow bypass, a 96% success rate in graft patency was observed, with significant thrombosis rates (78% at one year and 96% at three years) and neurological symptom improvement in 69% of cases.
- * The research concludes that high-flow bypass remains a viable treatment alternative, especially when flow diverter stenting may not be suitable, emphasizing its high safety and effectiveness.
Cephalic to jugular vein bypass surgery of subclavian vein stenosis for arteriovenous fistula salvage in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Background: Ipsilateral subclavian vein stenosis in a well-functioning upper extremity arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a significant factor contributing to AVF failure and sometimes swelling of ipsilateral upper extremity. Graft bypass surgery can alleviate outflow tract stenosis in upper extremity AVF, restore function, and efficiently relieve arm swelling. The present study aimed to evaluate patency and postoperative complications after cephalic to jugular graft bypass surgery in patients with upper extremity AVF failure or upper extremity swelling on the same side of the AVF resulting from ipsilateral subclavian vein stenosis.

Article Synopsis
- Orbital vascular malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital defects where arteries and veins connect directly, potentially leading to serious symptoms like vision loss and elevated eye pressure.
- Despite advancements in imaging and treatment, managing these AVMs remains challenging due to risks like hemorrhage and incomplete removal.
- A systematic review analyzed 27 case reports (with a mean patient age of 34) emphasizing common symptoms such as proptosis and visual loss, noting that while many patients underwent surgery, complications did occur in some cases.
How I do It: High flow EC-IC bypass for complex middle cerebral artery aneurysms using the lateral circumflex femoral artery as interposition graft.
Acta Neurochir (Wien)
November 2024
Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, University Health Network (UHN), Toronto, ON M5T 2S8, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses the need for high-flow bypasses in treating complex aneurysms from the ICA or MCA, highlighting the limitations of traditional graft options like the saphenous vein and radial artery.
- - It introduces the lateral circumflex femoral artery as a viable and easily harvested alternative graft vessel for these bypass procedures.
- - The conclusion emphasizes that the lateral circumflex femoral artery is not only easy to obtain but also a reliable choice for high-flow bypasses in complex aneurysm cases.
Bioremediation of nitrate in agricultural drainage ditches: Impacts of low-grade weirs on microbiomes and nitrogen cycle gene abundance.

Artificial drainage is essential for the success of modern agriculture, but it can also accelerate the movement of nutrients, especially nitrate, from soil to surrounding and downstream water bodies. Removal of nitrate from agricultural drainage by using controlled drainage systems, such as ditches installed with low-grade weirs, has been shown to help reduce nutrient loading into watersheds. However, the effect of low-grade weirs varies greatly, likely due to the differences in climate, system designs (e.
