Aortic graft infection is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. In this article we report a 60-year-old man who developed bilateral groin wound infection and progressively worsening lower extremity ischemia one year after he underwent aortobifemoral bypass. The infected graft was resected and bilateral obturator bypass was performed. The obturator bypass, an extra-anatomical bypass closest to anatomical position with high patency rates, continues to be favored in revascularization of the lower extremity when the inguinal region should be avoided. Likewise, the obturator bypass is an effective surgical approach against recurrent infections.

Assessment of the bypass of obturation materials beyond fractured instruments after using different obturation techniques in simulated curved canals (An in-vitro study).

This study evaluated the extent to which obturation materials bypass fractured endodontic instruments positioned in the middle and apical thirds of severely curved simulated root canals using different obturation techniques. Sixty resin blocks with simulated root canals were used, each with a 50° curvature, a 6.5 mm radius of curvature, and a length of 16.

Radix entomolaris (RE) characterized by an extra root in mandibular molars is a rare phenotype. When this condition coincides with complex root canal curvatures or S-shaped canals, root canal therapy (RCT) challenges arise. The present study presents three cases of RE along with complex root curvatures.

Article Synopsis
- Managing limb ischemia in cancer patients with complex histories of surgery and radiation is difficult due to complications like radiation arteritis and extensive tissue scarring.
- A 68-year-old male with a history of liposarcoma developed severe limb ischemia, and traditional endovascular treatment failed, leading to a bypass surgery from the axillary to the popliteal artery.
- Post-surgery, the patient had reduced pain and regained some mobility, but continued rehabilitation was needed due to persistent foot drop.
Routine External Iliac Artery Cannulation in Robotic Cardiac Surgery: Role of the Corona "Vitae" in Distal Limb Perfusion.

Objective: Femoral artery cannulation is the most commonly used approach for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in robotic cardiac procedures. However, without adding a distal perfusion cannula, leg ischemia can occur in up to 11.5% of patients.

Background: A rather common side effect of using prosthetic grafts is infection of the groin area. Infections in the groin may be avoided by performing arterial bypass tenneling via the obturator foramen during lower extremity revascularization. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of extra-anatomical bypass obturator in patients with groin infection.
