Late in-stent restenosis remains a significant problem. Bare-metal stents were implanted into peripheral arteries in miniature swine, followed by direct intra-arterial infusion of nitric oxide-loaded echogenic liposomes (ELIPs) and anti-intercellular adhesion molecule-1 conjugated ELIPs loaded with pioglitazone exposed to an endovascular catheter with an ultrasonic core. Ultrasound-facilitated delivery of ELIP formulations into stented peripheral arteries attenuated neointimal growth. Local atheroma-targeted, ultrasound-triggered delivery of nitric oxide and pioglitazone, an anti-inflammatory peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ agonist, into stented arteries has the potential to stabilize stent-induced neointimal growth and obviate the need for long-term antiplatelet therapy.

Primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome Causing Critical Limb Ischemia and Ultimately Amputation in an Otherwise Healthy Young Female.
J Am Podiatr Med Assoc
January 2025
†Arbor-Ypsi Foot and Ankle Centers, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
This case report describes an otherwise healthy 43-year-old female who presented with severe pain, foot drop, and critical limb ischemia to her left foot caused by thrombosis of a peripheral artery secondary to antiphospholipid syndrome. Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disease that frequently manifests as recurrent arterial and/or venous thrombotic events, ischemic strokes, and miscarriages. Antiphospholipid syndrome affecting primarily the arteries is less common as compared to venous thrombosis.

Introduction: Pelvic ring fractures are known to be associated with complications associated with adjacent organ injuries, such as the urogenital tract (e.g. erectile dysfunction (ED), which are sometimes diagnosed in a delayed fashion.

Role of single peroneal versus single non-peroneal tibial angioplasty in limb salvage.

Background: The peroneal artery is known to give branches to the anterior and posterior tibial arteries. Scattered reports in the literature over the last decade failed to provide solid evidence as to the optimum strategy for below-knee targeted revascularization in limited-option patients with critical limb-treating ischemia (CLTI). We sought to determine the benefit of performing single peroneal tibial artery angioplasty revascularization compared with single non-peroneal angiosome-targeted tibial artery angioplasty revascularization for patients presented with CLTI.

Background: Supervised exercise programs improve walking impairment and quality of life (QoL) in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, such programs are underutilized, due to their limited accessibility. A feasible and effective exercise program is needed.
