Insights into the identification, prevention, and treatment of neurovascular compromise in upper extremity surgery are provided in this chapter, focusing on commonly encountered injuries susceptible to intraoperative or postoperative issues. The authors highlight the importance of knowledge of anatomy, meticulous dissection, and preparation to navigate complex surgical scenarios effectively. Furthermore, proactive approaches to managing difficult situations encountered during surgery are outlined, emphasizing timely recognition and decisive action.

Introduction: Deep Vein Arterialization (DVA) is an innovative surgical technique aimed at enhancing blood flow in compromised limbs facing amputation. Maintenance of flow post-revascularization is crucial to limb salvage. As this is a new technique, no standardized thromboprophylaxis regime is currently established, and post-procedure thromboprophylaxis is at the discretion of the proceduralist.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a synthetic antimalarial, is recognized for its immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and vascular-protective effects. In 20-30% of cases of primary obstetrical antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), the combination of antiplatelet aggregation and prophylactic anticoagulation fails to prevent obstetrical complications, a situation referred to as refractory obstetrical APS. This is partly due to the pro-inflammatory effects of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) binding to decidual and trophoblastic cells, which compromise embryonic implantation and placentation.

This work presents strong evidence supporting the use of decellularized human iliac arteries combined with adipose tissue-derived stem cells (hASCs) as a promising alternative for vascular tissue engineering, opening the path to future treatments for peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD is a progressive condition with high rates of amputation and mortality due to ischemic damage and limited graft options. Traditional synthetic grafts often fail due to poor integration, while autologous grafts may be unsuitable for patients with compromised vascular health.

Introduction: Proactive esophageal cooling reduces injury during radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the left atrium (LA) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). New catheters are capable of higher wattage settings up to 90 W (very high-power short duration, vHPSD) for 4 s. Varying power and duration, however, does not eliminate the risk of thermal injury.
