Traumatic penetrating injuries to the internal carotid artery (ICA) resulting in the formation of a traumatic pseudoaneurysm are potentially devastating injuries. Previously treatment included, open surgical occlusion of the affected vessel or endovascular embolization. However, with the advent of flow diverter stents, endoluminal reconstruction has become a viable treatment option. In this case report we describe the successful managment of an ICA pseudoaneurysm due to a transorbital stab injury. Endoluminal reconstruction in a traumatic aneurysm is a feasible option. Considering the risk of hemorrhagic complications due to dual antiplatelet therapy required after flow diverter placement, this treatment should only be chosen if insufficient collateral supply is found and occlusion of the affected vessel is not a viable option.

3DStent is a novel rotational angiography imaging capable of 3D reconstruction and measuring stent area and diameter, without need for intravascular imaging. To compare 3DStent and OCT-derived stent area and diameter after PCI. Patients with de novo coronary lesions who underwent treatment with a single DES and evaluated by OCT and 3DStent were included.

Full Circumferential Tracheal Replacement (FCTR) is a surgical challenge, indicated in rare cases of extensive tracheal resection, with no consensus on surgical technique or materials. A systematic review according to PRISMA guidelines was carried out from 2000 to 2022 to identify cases of FCTR, to compare surgical indications, the nature of the tracheal substitutes and their immunological characteristics, surgical replacement techniques and vascularization. Thirty-seven patients, including five children, underwent FCTR surgery using 4 different techniques: thyrotracheal complex allograft (n = 2), aorta (n = 12), autologous surgical reconstruction (n = 19), tissue-engineered decellularized trachea (n = 4).

Background: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) facilitates detailed visualization of endoluminal anatomy not adequately appreciated on conventional angiography. However, it is unclear if IVUS use improves clinical outcomes of peripheral vascular interventions (PVIs) for peripheral arterial disease. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of IVUS on 1-year outcomes of PVI in the vascular quality initiative (VQI).
