Background: Fenestrations involving aneurysms have been well documented. Only sporadic papers have been reported on fenestrations associated with AVMs (arteriovenous malformations) with few cases. Our study is to determine the rate of co-occurrence of fenestrations and AVMs and to analyze the possible relationship between them by CTA.
Methods: Between January 2006 and February 2012, the CTA data of 5,657 consecutive patients were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: A total of 12 cases (.21%) of fenestrations associated with AVMs were found. Of these, single-fenestrations were identified in 9 cases, and multifenestrations were found in 3 cases. Among 349 fenestrations, there were 15 cases of multifenestrations. The frequency of multifenestrations among fenestrated patients without AVMs was 3.6%. There was no significant difference in the incidence of AVMs in cases with and without fenestrations (3.4% and 2.7%), and there was no significant difference in the incidence of fenestration in cases with and without AVMs (7.7% and 6.1%, χ(2) = .643, P = .423).
Conclusions: CTA may play a vital role in assessing the anomalies of co-occurring AVM and fenestration, with an incidence of .21%. The frequency of multifenestrations in fenestrated cases with AVMs was higher than those without AVMs, though there is no significant association between fenestrations and AVMs.

Acute cholecystitis treated with urgent cholecystectomy achieves higher rate of critical view of safety when compared to interval cholecystectomy after tube cholecystostomy.

Background: There are few reported outcomes of treatment of acute cholecystitis incorporating current guidelines for gallbladder dissection techniques and use of percutaneous tube cholecystostomy (PCT). The authors hypothesize PCT allows regression of peritoneal inflammation, but infundibular inflammation is increased at interval cholecystectomy, resulting in greater requirement for advanced dissection techniques.
Methods: Between December 2009 and July 2023, 1222 patients were admitted with acute cholecystitis and ultimately underwent cholecystectomy.
Fenestrated and Branched Endovascular Aortic Repair and Mortality at Hospitals Without Investigational Device Trials.
JAMA Surg

Importance: Fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repairs (F/BEVAR) have been adopted by many centers. However, national trends of F/BEVAR use remain unclear, particularly at sites who perform them without an US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA)-approved investigational device exemption (IDE).
Objective: To quantify the use of F/BEVAR in the US and to determine if mortality was different at IDE vs non-IDE sites.

Aim: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic heart disease. This study aimed to demonstrate the effects of preoperative oxygen saturation on the early prognosis of TOF and identify risk factors associated with early complications.
Method: A cohort of 1,138 patients who were diagnosed and underwent one-stage surgical repair in this hospital were retrospectively included in this study.

Glomerular endothelial cell (GEnC) injury is a common feature across the wide spectrum of glomerular diseases. We recently reported that the endothelial-specific knockout of increases the susceptibility to GEnC injury and subsequent development of subacute thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). However, the mechanism(s) mediating GEnCs response to injury in TMA are poorly understood.

The neurovascular unit (NVU), comprising vascular, glial, and neural elements, supports the energetic demands of neural computation, but this aspect of the retina's trilaminar vessel network is poorly understood. Only the innermost vessel layer-the superficial vascular plexus (SVP)-is associated with astrocytes, like brain capillaries, whereas radial Müller glia interact with vessels in the other layers. Using serial electron microscopic reconstructions from mouse and primate retina, we find that Müller processes cover capillaries in a tessellating pattern, mirroring the wrapping of brain capillaries by tiled astrocytic endfeet.
