125 reconstructions performed during the years 1968 to 1988 were analysed retrospectively. 81 surgical procedures were extrathoracic (64.8%) and 44 transthoracic (35.2%). The symptoms of the aortic arch branch lesions included subclavian steal syndrome in 67 (53.6%), transient cerebral ischemia in 16 (12.8%), residua of cerebral infarction in 5 (4.0%), monocular ischemic attacks in 16 (12.8%) and ischemic arm symptoms in 27 (21.6%) patients. Surgical repair was achieved by subclavian-carotid transposition in 44 (35.2%), carotid-subclavian bypass in 23 (18.4%), carotid-subclavian transposition in 2 (1.6%), endarterectomy of the subclavian artery in 5 (4.0%), carotid-carotid bypass in 3 (2.4%), subclavian-subclavian bypass in 4 (3.2%), aorto-subclavian bypass in 9 (7.2%), endarterectomy of the left subclavian artery in 18 (14.4%) and reconstruction of the innominate artery in 17 (13.6%) patients. 124 patients had complete remission of symptoms or at least showed marked improvement postoperatively. The overall patency rate of the extra- and transthoracic procedures in 85% at an average follow-up of 115 months. The patency rate in the extrathoracic group is 82% and not significantly lower than in the transthoracic group with a patency rate of 89%.

Background: Despite multiple techniques, portal vein (PV) inflow reconstruction during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for patients with biliary atresia (BA) and small-diameter PV remains a challenge. The use of PV interposition grafts has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate complications and reinterventions.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective multi-center cohort study of patients under 3 years of age (n=85) undergoing LDLT for biliary atresia using PV interposition grafts.

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate perioperative and one-year outcomes of patients undergoing aortobiiliac bypass (ABIB) in comparison with aortobifemoral bypass (ABFB) for the treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease, using data from the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI).
Methods: All patients undergoing ABIB and ABFB bypasses (2010-2023) were queried. The primary outcome was surgical site infections (SSI).
