AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: Stent placement in the cannulation zone of AVF is becoming alarmingly frequent and sometimes in cases where surgical management would be more appropriate. When complications arise repair can be particularly challenging. We present our experience and management of this problem.
Methods: We report our experience on three patients (two females and one male, mean age 72) that were referred to our department for problems related to stents placed at the cannulation segments.
Results: All patients required complex surgical interventions. In two of them maintenance of access was possible but required the use of a graft. In one complete resection of the AVF and all stents was necessary, and the patient remained on dialysis through catheter.
Conclusion: Stent placement at the cannulation zones may complicate access management in the future and should be avoided if possible.

Magnetic resonance angiography in diagnostic long-term follow-up of primary patency of the MOTIV drug-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold in the region below the knee: 5 years of experience.

Purpose: Treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the region below the knee (BTK) is dissatisfying as failure of treated target lesions (TLF) is frequent and diagnostic imaging is often challenging. In the BTK-region metallic drug-eluting stents (mDES) yielded best results concerning primary patency (PP), but also annihilate signal in magnetic resonance angiography (MR-A). A recently introduced non-metallic drug eluting bioresorbable Tyrocore® vascular scaffold (deBVS), that offers an option for re-treatment of lesions due to its full degradation within 3-4 years after placement, was investigated with respect to its compatibility with MR-A to unimpededly depict previously treated target lesions.

Background: Rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an acute public health emergency impeding the clinical efficacy of surgical interventions. Biliary stent placement is one of the routine surgical procedures that rarely lead to infections that are empirically managed by broad-spectrum β-lactams and fluoroquinolones. Critical priority pathogens, such as carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli challenge treatment outcomes and infection prevention.

Department of Vascular Surgery, The Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel HaShomer, Ramat Gan, Israel.
Purpose: To report a case series on using a novel semi-branch feature in custom-made stent-grafts in the endovascular treatment of complex aortic aneurysms and summarize the contemporary usage of this technology.
Case Series: Four patients underwent endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) with a custom-made semi-branch stent-graft (Semi-Branch Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair [SBEVAR]). Two male patients, 75- and 76-year-old, were treated due to failed EVAR with late-type Ia endoleak, and the other two, 80- and 55-year-old male patients, due to a juxta-renal aortic abdominal aneurysm (JRAAA).
