AI Article Synopsis
- Patients undergoing major vascular surgery tend to be older, have multiple medical issues, and face higher risks with general anesthesia.
- A review of existing literature revealed no prior studies on the use of PECS II nerve block for extra-anatomic bypass surgeries.
- This case report highlights the potential of using peripheral nerve blocks, alongside continuous spinal anesthesia, as a safer alternative to general anesthesia for axillofemoral-femoral bypass procedures.
Article Abstract
Patients presenting for major vascular surgery are often elderly, medically complex, and at increased risk for general anesthesia-related complications. A search of the published literature produced no citation regarding PECS II block in the setting of extra-anatomic bypass procedures. We present a case report describing the use of the deep injection of the PECS II block in this context. Although further investigation is needed to determine the role of truncal blocks in major vascular surgery, our case illustrates that peripheral nerve blocks, combined with continuous spinal anesthesia, may be used as an alternative to general anesthesia for axillofemoral-femoral bypass.

Background: Poorly controlled acute breast surgery postoperative pain is associated with delayed recovery, increased morbidity, impaired quality of life, and prolonged opioid use during and after hospitalization. Recently, ultrasound-guided pectoralis nerve (PECS) I block and serratus anterior plane (SAP) block, together or individually, have emerged as a potential method to relieve pain, decrease opioid requirements, and improve patient outcomes.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess if the addition of a PECS I/SAP block in patients undergoing bilateral mastectomies provides more effective perioperative analgesia compared to standard analgesia.

Background: Modified Radical Mastectomy is associated with significant acute postoperative pain. If this pain is not managed properly most patients will develop chronic post-mastectomy pain, which reduces quality of life. Pectoralis (PECS) block is effective in reducing pain and the consumption of analgesia in the post-operative period.

Owing to its promiscuous roles, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is involved in various neurological disorders including several retinal pathologies. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus affecting the retina. In the present review, we highlight the importance of PARP-1 participation in pathophysiology of DR and discuss promising potential inhibitors for treatment.
