Acute buttock ischemia can be a consequence of aneurysmatic disease and has a dramatic presentation. This case report describes an otherwise healthy patient with a simultaneous onset of buttock ischemia combined with sciatic nerve compression caused by a small distal internal iliac artery aneurysm. Coiling of the aneurysm prevented thromboembolism recurrence but was only partially successful in reducing the symptoms of nerve compression. Given the serious consequences, prophylactic treatment independent of aneurysm diameter can be considered.

The Bell-Bottom Technique Versus Branched Stent Grafts in Endovascular Treatment of Diseased Common Iliac Artery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Ann Vasc Surg
January 2025
Departamento de Cirurgia Vascular e Endovascular do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the perioperative complications of iliac branched endoprosthesis versus the bell-bottom technique in patients with common iliac artery aneurysm or ectasia.
- A systematic search of relevant literature identified six cohort studies with 2,899 patients, finding no significant differences in most complications, including perioperative mortality and mesenteric ischemia.
- However, the use of branched endoprostheses was linked to a higher occurrence of type 3 endoleaks compared to the bell-bottom technique.
Impact of Combining Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis and Physician-Modified Fenestrated-Branched Endovascular Repair for Complex Abdominal and Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms with Concomitant Iliac Artery Aneurysms.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of combining Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis (IBE) with physician-modified fenestrated branched endovascular aortic repair (PM-FBEVAR) for treating complex abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (cAAA and TAAA) associated with iliac artery aneurysms (IAA).
- A retrospective review of 183 patients who underwent PM-FBEVAR was conducted from 2015 to 2021, comparing outcomes between those treated with and without IBE, focusing on complications such as pelvic ischemia and technical success rates.
- Results indicated that there were no incidences of pelvic ischemia in the IBE group,
Relapsing Calciphylaxis of the Breast: Glucocorticoids - Friend or Foe?

Department of Nephrology, St. John's Medical College Hospital, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
Article Synopsis
- Calciphylaxis is a rare and severe condition that causes blood vessel calcification, leading to tissue death, often appearing in areas with more body fat like the abdomen and breasts.
- An elderly woman with end-stage kidney disease experienced severe breast pain and nodules, leading to a diagnosis of calciphylaxis through clinical assessments and imaging.
- After standard treatments failed, glucocorticoids were used effectively, showing significant improvement, but she experienced a relapse after three months, requiring treatment again.

Background: Acrocyanosis is characterised by persistent bluish discolouration of the extremities, resulting from reduced peripheral blood flow leading to increased oxygen extraction. The aetiology can be divided into primary and secondary causes. While primary acrocyanosis is generally painless and has a benign course, secondary causes may lead to complications.
