A 12-month-old girl sustained a penetrating intracranial trauma of a thin aluminum rod traversing from the left frontal bone and exiting the right occipital bone. The rod entered the left anterior frontal lobe, traveled through the ventricular system, narrowly missed the right posterior cerebral artery by less than 1 mm and exited through the right cerebellum. The rod was surgically extracted, and the child remained neurologically intact. Pre- and postoperative vascular imaging, antibiotics, seizure prophylaxis and surgical planning are paramount to successful care of these delicate cases.

Steerable sheath for exclusively femoral bilateral extension of previous fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair with iliac branch devices.
J Vasc Surg Cases Innov Tech

Vascular Center Malmö, Department of Thoracic surgery and vascular diseases, Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, Sweden.
We report the treatment of type Ib endoleak after fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) with iliac branch device (IBD) to allow exclusive transfemoral access without a femoral-to-femoral through-and-through wire. The patient was treated with fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair and showed expansion of the aneurysm owing to a type Ib endoleak. An IBD was implanted by the use of a contralateral steerable sheath for internal iliac artery catheterizing.

Purpose: Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) associated with Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) is a common congenital arch anomaly. It can be complicated by type B aortic dissection (TBAD) or aneurysmal formation at its ostium. Recently, hybrid repair with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has appeared to be more favorable.

Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5959 Harry Hines Blvd., POB#1, Suite 620, Dallas, TX, 75390-9157, USA.
Purpose: To describe a sequential deployment technique of the Zenith® t-Branch™ device for branched endovascular aortic aneurysm repair that might reduce potential rotation and increases optimal positioning of the device.
Technique: After obtaining bilateral groin and right brachial access, the device is advanced over a through-and-through brachio-femoral guidewire and positioned based on prior measurements and landmarks. The t-Branch device is deployed one branch at a time and each visceral branch is sequentially catheterized from brachial access using live CT-fusion and intravascular ultrasound guidance.
Reconstruction of Through-and-Through Composite Segmental Mandibulectomy Defect in a Patient With a Dominant Peroneal Artery Using an Anterior Lateral Thigh Osteomyocutaneous Free Flap: A Case Report and Description of Flap.

The anterior lateral thigh osteomyocutaneous (ALTO) free flap represents a unique reconstructive option for patients who are otherwise not good candidates for traditional free flaps to repair a through-and-through defect of the head and neck. We report the case of a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity who had undergone composite segmental mandibulectomy with a resultant through-and-through defect. The patient was not a candidate for fibula free flap (FFF) reconstruction owing to the presence of bilaterally dominant peroneal arteries.

Background: Deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) has been extensively studied and used for bone regeneration in oral and maxillofacial surgery. However, it lacks an osteoinductive ability. We developed two novel bone anabolic conjugated drugs, known as C3 and C6, of an inactive bisphosphonate and a bone activating synthetic prostaglandin agonist.
