In this study, we present an inexpensive and effective method for providing a secure and hemostatic anastomosis using autologous adventitia obtained from a dissected or aneurysmal wall. The resected aortic wall is separated between the adventitia and media, and a soft, 2 × 10-cm adventitial strip is overlaid to cover the anastomotic margin. A graft is sutured to the aortic stump. This autologous adventitial overlay method can inexpensively and strongly reinforce the anastomosis during aortic surgery for dissection or aneurysm and will contribute to anastomotic hemostasis and long-term stability.

Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a rare cause of claudication in which a mucinous cyst forms within the adventitial layer of a blood vessel, most commonly the popliteal artery, resulting in luminal narrowing. This paper presents a case of a man in his mid-50s with unilateral lower limb popliteal artery CAD, which was not initially identified on either duplex ultrasonography or CT angiography. He was successfully treated with surgical resection of the affected segment of the popliteal artery and autologous vein grafting.

Background: We developed an adventitial overlay method for reinforcing aortic anastomoses. This study evaluated the midterm morphologic and clinical outcomes of this method.
Methods: We harvested and prepared adventitia from a resected aneurysm or dissected aortic wall and performed aortic repair using the adventitial overlay method.
Medicinal signaling cells niche in stromal vascular fraction from lipoaspirate and microfragmented counterpart.

Lucija Zenić, Srebrnjak Children's Hospital, Srebrnjak 100, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia,
Aim: To expand our previous findings by increasing the number of patients in a study characterizing medicinal signaling cells (MSC) of stromal vascular fraction from lipoaspirate (SVF-LA) and from microfragmented lipoaspirate (SVF-MLA) applied for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: Twenty OA patients, including 8 new patients, acquiring autologous microfragmented adipose tissue were enrolled. In-parallel immunophenotyping of SVF-LA and SVF-MLA was performed.
Vascular Remodeling of Clinically Used Patches and Decellularized Pericardial Matrices Recellularized with Autologous or Allogeneic Cells in a Porcine Carotid Artery Model.

Cardiovascular Surgery Department, Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine (IKEM), Videnska 1958/9, 14021 Prague, Czech Republic.
Background: Cardiovascular surgery is confronted by a lack of suitable materials for patch repair. Acellular animal tissues serve as an abundant source of promising biomaterials. The aim of our study was to explore the bio-integration of decellularized or recellularized pericardial matrices in vivo.
