Objective: To explore the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1a) in rat lower limb skeletal muscle with acute ischemia.
Methods: Acute lower limb ischemia was established in 25 male or female SD rats of 200-250 g by ligating left iliac artery with microsurgical techniques. Gastrocnemius of lower limb was harvest at the time points of sham (0h), 4, 8, 12 and 24 h respectively. Immunohistochemistry, Western blot and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to detect the expression of HIF-1a in lower limb gastrocnemius.
Results: There was a low expression of HIF-1a in normal gastrocnemius, but it was highly expressed in lower limb ischemia. With the elongation of ischemia time, its expression increased (P < 0.05), peaked at 4 h and 8 h (P < 0.05) and then declined gradually.
Conclusion: With a characteristic trend during acute limb ischemia, HIF-1a may play an important role in the adaptive response to acute limb ischemia.

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is the most severe manifestation of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and imposes a significantly high burden due to its high risk of mortality and amputation. Revascularization is the first-line treatment for CLTI; however, the amputation rate remains high, and approximately one-third of patients are not eligible for this treatment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for more effective therapeutic strategies.

Background: Infrainguinal bypass for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CTLI) in octogenarians is considered a high-risk procedure due to the presumed associated frailty of the patient population. However, the alternative which is major amputation may not be a better option. This study retrospectively compares the outcomes of bypass versus major amputation for functionally independent and partially dependent patients.

Iatrogenic arterial injury is an infrequent but limb-threatening complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Open surgical reconstruction may not always be feasible or optimal, particularly in patients who have recently just undergone complex TKA procedures. In this report, we describe the treatment of a patient who developed popliteal artery occlusion following a complex TKA procedure performed the previous day.

Arterial cannulation, commonly performed in the radial artery, is a widely used method for continuous blood pressure monitoring. Occasionally, the axillary artery is used as an alternate site of cannulation. However, complications like occlusion can lead to adverse events and severe outcomes.
