The authors show that the prophylaxis of local complications after femoral artery cannulation consists of proper technique of puncture, careful site selection for puncture, usage of closure devices and external compression. The authors also underline that it is necessary to pay special attention to patients receiving anticoagulant or antiaggregant therapy. Despite the rarity, occurrence of inguinal canal hematoma after the X-ray contrast angiography and X-ray endovascular surgery is a serious complication that can prolong recovery. For a complete recovery after femoral artery paracentesis it is necessary to provide a bed regime, to apply a compression band and to monitor a medical state during the first day.

Background: Aortoiliac disease (AID) is a variant of peripheral artery disease involving the infrarenal aorta and iliac arteries. Similar to other arterial diseases, aortoiliac disease obstructs blood flow through narrowed lumens or by embolization of plaques. AID, when symptomatic, may present with a triad of claudication, impotence, and absence of femoral pulses, a triad also referred as Leriche Syndrome (LS).

Background: Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is a widely studied gasotransmitter, and its protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion damage has been explored in several studies. Therefore, a requirement exists for a comprehensive study about HS effects on ischemia-reperfusion damage in flap surgery. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of hydrogen sulfide by creating ischemia-reperfusion injury in the vascular-stemmed island flap prepared from the rat groin area.

Background: Cardiac catheterization via the trans-radial approach (TRA) has shown several advantages over the trans-femoral approach (TFA) but with a concern of higher radiation exposure. Considering the growing experience with TRA, this study compares patient's radiation during coronary angiography using TRA versus TFA.
Methods: This study included consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiogram over a year at tertiary hospital performed by experienced operators through radial or femoral access.

Aim: To define the association between severe coronary artery disease and widespread atherosclerosis in younger individuals.
Methods: Individuals aged 1-50 years with sudden cardiac death (SCD) from 2019-23, autopsy-proven to be due to coronary artery disease, were identified using the state-wide EndUCD registry. Presence of extra-coronary atherosclerosis greater than modified American Heart Association class III was assessed in 5 arterial beds (intra-cerebral vessels, aorta, carotid, renal and femoral arteries).
