Atherosclerotic true aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and profunda femoris artery (PFA) are rare and difficult to detect. The synchronous presence of SFA and PFA aneurysms is even rarer. Herein, we present a case with ipsilateral true SFA and PFA aneurysms diagnosed with rupture. A review of the international literature is made, and the diagnosis and treatment options of this rare condition are discussed. A 75-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with an aneurysm on the distal SFA and the ipsilateral PFA, as well as a hematoma around the PFA. It was difficult to determine the source of the rupture before surgery, even with proper imaging. Successful ligation of the PFA and an aneurysmectomy followed by a bypass grafting for the SFA were performed. An intraoperative examination revealed that the SFA aneurysm had ruptured. In elderly males with a history of ectasia or aneurysm on the aorta or peripheral arteries, a synchronous aneurysm on the SFA or the PFA should be suspected.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated three-year outcomes of endovascular treatment (EVT) for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with severe calcified lesions in the common femoral artery (CFA), using data from the Duesseldorf PTA Registry.
- A total of 150 patients were analyzed, with 66 undergoing rotational excisional atherectomy (REA) followed by drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty, and 84 receiving DCB alone; the procedural success rate was high at 97%.
- Findings indicated that EVT is safe and effective, showing high primary and secondary patency rates, low major adverse limb events (MALEs), and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) after three years, suggesting that RE
Can Gender-Specific Renal and Visceral Fat Be Evaluated by CT Predict Fuhrman Nuclear Classification of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma?

Background: Evidence of the association between obesity and renal cell carcinoma progression is contradictory. The effects of renal cell carcinoma on fat distribution are still unknown.
Objective: The goal of this study was to determine the ability of various forms of fat deposition to predict the Fuhrman nuclear grade of clear cell renal cell carcinoma [ccRCC].
Retrograde Trans-Amputation Embolectomy of Common, Superficial and Deep Femoral Arteries for Inflow Revascularisation During Above-Knee Amputation: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Background: Primary above-knee amputation (AKA) may at times be the only option for unsalvageable acute lower limb ischemia. However, occlusion of the femoral arteries may result in poor inflow and contribute to wound complications such as stump gangrene and sepsis. Previously attempted inflow revascularisation techniques include surgical bypass and percutaneous angioplasty and/or stenting.

Background: Typical repair of common femoral artery (CFA) occlusive disease involves surgical endarterectomy followed by patch closure; however, prosthetic materials may become infected. In addition, in our institution, we have experienced an increased incidence of severe patch-related restenosis. We describe a technique for CFA endarterectomy and patchless proximal profundoplasty, and evaluate its feasibility.

In a context where the search for plant-derived additives is a hot topic, glycerol monolaurate (GML) was chosen as our subject to study its effect on grouper (♀ × ♂). Seven gradient levels of GML (0, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3000, and 3600 mg/kg) were used for the experiment. Based on our experiments, 1800 mg/kg GML significantly increased the final body weight (FBW) and weight gain rate (WGR).
