Profunda femoris artery aneurysms (PFAAs) are rare and difficult to diagnose in the early stage. They are often found due to the presence of complicated conditions, such as rapid expansion, rupture, or acute lower limb ischemia. Surgical procedures such as aneurysmectomy and endoaneurysmorrhaphy tend to be technically challenging because of the patient status and the extent of the aneurysm. We experienced three cases of PFAAs that were treated by proximal ligation (PL) without complete control of the distal branches. The exclusion of PFAAs was confirmed by duplex ultrasound or angiography at the end of the operation. There was no mortality in the perioperative period. During a 12-month follow-up, all cases exhibited complete exclusion of aneurysms with marked size reduction. Based on these findings, we propose that PL, with a careful follow-up for PFAA exclusion and distal limb circulation, could be an alternative treatment for complicated PFAAs.

Department of Vascular Surgery, The third hospital of mianyang, Sichuan Mental Health Center, Mianyang, Sichuan, China.

Introduction And Importance: A traumatic arteriovenous fistula (TAVF) is a vascular injury where an artery and a vein become abnormally connected. Although endovascular intervention is often the first choice for TAVF, some special cases still require open surgery.

Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man developed a chronic AVF in the lower superficial femoral artery (SFA) one year after a farming accident.

Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Affiliated Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, Nanjing, Jiangsu, 210028, People's Republic of China.

Narciclasine (Ncs) was effective in sepsis management due to its antioxidant properties. The present study dissected the protective effects of Ncs against sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) and the molecular mechanisms. The SA-AKI mice were developed using cecum ligation and puncture and pretreated with Ncs and adenoviruses.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of 3D virtual modeling (3DVM) and indocyanine green perfusion angiography (ICGPA) in improving surgical planning and outcomes during laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for colon cancer.
  • Advanced imaging techniques allowed for precise preoperative planning, showing a high correlation with intraoperative findings, which enabled better decisions regarding vessel management and anastomotic site selection.
  • The results indicate that using 3DVM and ICGPA not only enhances the surgical team’s ability to visualize vascular structures but also leads to successful surgeries without postoperative complications.

Background: An anomalous left vertebral artery (aLVA) can complicate aortic arch surgery. We examined the safety of various aLVA revascularization strategies during open total arch replacement.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 92 patients undergoing total arch replacement from January 2018 to May 2023 and identified 11 patients with aLVA.

Intrapericardial Pulmonary Vein Ligation to Prevent Stump Thrombosis During Left Upper Lobectomy.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

December 2024

Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan.

Background: Postoperative cerebral infarction, a serious complication of surgery, is occasionally experienced with pulmonary vein stump thrombosis (PVST), which is frequently observed after left upper lobectomy (LUL). Herein, we prospectively investigated whether PVST could be safely prevented by intrapericardial ligation of the superior pulmonary vein (SPV) to shorten the SPV stump during LUL.

Methods: In a consecutive 21 patients who underwent LUL, we ligated the proximal intrapericardial SPV with 1-0 silk suture and divided the distal hilar SPV by an automatic stapling device.
