Article Abstract

Background: Management of superficial femoral artery flush occlusion using the ipsilateral antegrade approach is challenging. The study aimed to assess technical feasibility, patency, and limb salvage of ipsilateral antegrade angioplasty versus surgery for this lesion in patients with lifestyle-limiting claudications and critical limb ischemia.

Methods: Between June 2015 and March 2018, 53 patients were randomized to either ipsilateral antegrade angioplasty (n = 28) or surgical bypass (n = 25). We included patients with Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus IIB, C, or D lesions, having a patent popliteal artery. Technical success, patency, limb salvage, and major adverse events were assessed during the 12-month follow-up.

Results: The technical success was 100% and 89.3% in the surgical and endovascular groups, respectively (P = 0.238). At 12 months, the primary, assisted, and secondary patency rates were 72% vs. 64.5%, 78.2% vs. 74.7%, and 81.6% vs. 74.2% in the surgical versus the endovascular groups, respectively, without significant differences between both groups. Limb salvage was 88% vs. 92% in the surgical versus the endovascular group, respectively (P = 0.564). The length of hospital stay was longer in the surgical versus the endovascular group (6.24 ± 0.37 vs. 1.84 ± 0.19 days, respectively, P = 0.001). Local complications were higher in the surgical group (P = 0.046).

Conclusions: Technical success, patency, and limb salvage of endovascular approach were comparable to surgical bypass. The endovascular approach had the advantages of reduced local complications and hospitalization.

Background And Purpose: In acute ischemic stroke, the amount of "local" CBF distal to the occlusion, i.e. all blood flow within a region whether supplied antegrade or delayed and dispersed through the collateral network, may contain valuable information regarding infarct growth rate and treatment response.

Background: ProGlide is a suture-mediated vascular closure device (VCD) indicated for retrograde access closure at the common femoral artery (CFA). However, its off-label use for antegrade and/or superficial femoral artery (SFA) access has become common in many practices. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of ProGlide for femoral artery access closure in patients undergoing antegrade infrainguinal endovascular procedures.

Introduction: Traumatic obturator-type anterior dislocation of the hip with an ipsilateral subtrochanteric fracture is rarely encountered in clinical practice. This case presentation described a trauma patient with such a rare scenario.

Case Report: This paper reports a case of a 20-year-old Amhara ethnic male patient who had a traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip associated with an ipsilateral subtrochanteric femur fracture after a truck rolled over.

Background: Hemostatic devices are now frequently used in femoral artery punctures, and the Angio-Seal (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) is one of the most commonly used devices for closure of the femoral artery because it provides rapid hemostasis. Although device failure rarely occurs, if the collagen falls into the femoral artery, it may lead to severe limb ischemia. Herein, we describe a case of a novel endovascular technique for the treatment of Angio-Seal arterial closure device failure.

  • Cerebral infarction due to internal carotid artery occlusion can lead to severe symptoms; treatment options include mechanical thrombectomy within 24 hours or conservative approaches for mild cases with collateral circulation.
  • In cases where symptoms worsen, superficial temporal artery - middle cerebral artery anastomosis may be employed for revascularization, verified with contralateral angiography.
  • Ten acute ICA occlusion cases were treated using intermediate catheter technology, achieving successful recanalization without significant complications, highlighting the method's effectiveness.
