The use of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers in lip augmentation represents today 1 of the most widely used nonsurgical aesthetic procedures in the world. Regarding the severe complications are rare, insufficient professional experience for recognizing signs of vascular impairment and inadequate technique could lead to severe lip skin necrosis complications. Several of existing treatment protocols in the literature to treat vascular complication are mainly based on the use of hyaluronidase. Nevertheless, there is no consensus on dosage, interval between doses and complementary protocol among the aforementioned studies. This case aims to present a conservative approach for the clinical management of serious vasculature complications with HA injection. A high dose of hyaluronidase(11500 IU) with additional multimodal treatment was performed to the upper lip, nasolabial fold, and nose that successfully reversed a vascular complication process. The present findings suggest that the use of high doses of hyaluronidase with the complementary protocol used herein might be a promising approach in the treatment of severe vascular complication in the lips caused by HA filling.

The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is a commonly used donor site for free tissue transfer, especially in head and neck reconstructions. The flap's success is primarily determined by the quality and quantity of its perforating vessels, which is why clinicians typically prefer harvesting from a healthy leg with intact vascular anatomy. Poliomyelitis typically causes unilateral lower limb paralysis, resulting in muscle atrophy and deformities.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the direct healthcare costs and early complications associated with pretransplant portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in cirrhotic patients undergoing their first orthotopic liver transplant (LT) at a hospital in Colombia from 2013 to 2021.
Methods: A registry-based retrospective follow-up study was conducted on cirrhotic patients aged 14 years or older who underwent their first LT at the San Vicente Fundación Rionegro Hospital between January 2013 and April 2021. The primary outcomes were early (30-day) vascular and biliary complications and direct healthcare costs.
Using suture-mediated closure device for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decannulation: A single-center experience of post-closing technique.

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a critical treatment for severe cardiopulmonary failure. However, traditional ECMO decannulation methods, such as manual compression and surgical repair, are associated with significant complications. This study evaluates suture-mediated closure devices, specifically Perclose ProGlide, as a potentially favorable decannulation strategy.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has significantly advanced the treatment of severe aortic stenosis (AS), particularly in elderly patients who often have coexisting coronary artery disease (CAD). Chronic total occlusion (CTO), a severe form of CAD, may negatively impact outcomes in TAVR patients, though data are limited. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the impact of CTO on TAVR outcomes.

Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is an anterior surgical approach for interbody fusion in the lumbar spine which affords the surgeon unfettered access to the disc space and allows for release of the anterior longitudinal ligament and insertion of a large, lordotic interbody graft. Despite the benefits associated with ALIF when compared with other lumbar interbody fusion techniques, the ALIF approach is associated with a number of unique complications, and certain patient-specific criteria (e.g.
