A woman with an upper extremity brachioaxillary arteriovenous dialysis graft presented with a 9-month history of profound ipsilateral arm swelling and numbness secondary to chronic axillosubclavian vein occlusion. Previous endovascular and open venous recanalization attempts were unsuccessful. A totally percutaneous extra-anatomic venous bi-bypass was created to salvage the dialysis access circuit and reconstruct the deep venous system. Using overlapping Viabahn stent-grafts, two parallel bypasses were created from the arteriovenous graft and brachial vein, respectively, to the brachiocephalic vein. The hemodialysis graft regained function. Upper extremity symptoms resolved within 48 h. This is the first reported percutaneous double-barrel technique of extra-anatomic venous bypass creation for simultaneous management of a failed dialysis access and chronic venous occlusive disease.

Objective: Central vein occlusion (CVO) is a significant complication in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis, often leading to dialysis inefficacy, disabling symptoms, and, most critically, major risk of access failure. Although stenting has been proposed as a technique to maintain vascular access patency following the recanalization of occluded central veins, the data supporting its long-term efficacy remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of stenting occluded superior vena cava (SVC) and/or brachiocephalic veins to preserve vascular access patency, ensure continued dialysis efficacy, and relieve SVC syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- * A 58-year-old female patient with a history of hemodialysis presented with right arm swelling due to complete occlusion of the right brachiocephalic vein (BCV) and internal jugular vein (IJV), complicated by calcification.
- * The innovative technique successfully restored vascular access, confirmed through angiography, and showed good results in function and patency during a 3-month follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- * In adults, severe coarctation or interrupted aortic arch are typically treated through less invasive procedures or alternative surgical methods.
- * The authors share their experience treating three patients with aneurysms using a surgical approach involving antero-lateral thoracotomy and antegrade cerebral perfusion, which they found effective for specific aortic issues.

Iatrogenic bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a known complication of low incidence. The outcome can be devastating if not recognized and managed timely and properly. In cases of iatrogenic biliary injury due to cholecystectomy, the management depends on the level of injury, the timing of discovery (intraoperative or postoperative), and the patient's condition.

Secondary aortoenteric fistula is a potentially lethal complication after aortic surgery. Traditional treatment consists of open graft excision with extra-anatomic bypass or in situ reconstruction. Patients who present in extremis, however, are generally poor candidates for re-do open aortic surgery.
