Target vessel catheterization remains challenging in patients with complex anatomies. Fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) is an established technique to treat aortic aneurysms. In this case report, we treated a juxtarenal aneurysm using FEVAR. Initial attempts to complete the target vessel stenting were unsuccessful because of an unfavorable orifice and tortuosity of the right renal artery. The completion of FEVAR was achieved with a bifemoral approach using a snare system, which aligned the tip of a steerable sheath at the level of the fenestration for the right renal artery to create a stable condition. Control angiography and computed tomography confirmed a successful stenting of the target vessel and the sealing of the fenestration without an endoleak.

Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques, especially hemorrhaged lesions, are the major cause of mortalities related to vascular pathologies. The early identification of vulnerable plaques helps to stratify patients at risk of developing acute vascular events. In this study, proteomics analyses of human carotid artery samples collected from patients with atheromatous plaques and complicated lesions, respectively, as well as from healthy controls were performed.

In 2024, the United States was projected to experience 2 million new cancer diagnoses and approximately 611,720 cancer-related deaths, reflecting a broader global trend in which cancer cases are anticipated to exceed 35 million by 2050. This increasing burden highlights ongoing challenges in cancer treatment despite significant advances that have reduced cancer mortality by 31% since 1991. Key obstacles include the disease's inherent heterogeneity and complexity, such as treatment resistance, cancer stem cells, and the multifaceted tumor microenvironment (TME).

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a pediatric condition characterized by clinical features that resemble accelerated aging. The abnormal accumulation of a toxic form of the lamin A protein known as progerin disrupts cellular functions, leading to various complications, including growth retardation, loss of subcutaneous fat, abnormal skin, alopecia, osteoporosis, and progressive joint contractures. Death primarily occurs as the result of complications from progressive atherosclerosis, especially from cardiac disease, such as myocardial infarction or heart failure, or cerebrovascular disease like stroke.

The endothelium plays a key role in regulating vascular homeostasis by responding to a large spectrum of chemical and physical stimuli. Vasculitis is a group of inflammatory conditions affecting the vascular bed, and it is known that they are strongly linked to endothelial dysfunction (ED). Kawasaki disease (KD) is one childhood systemic vasculitis, and it represents the leading cause of acquired cardiac disease in children due to coronary damage and subsequent cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality.

Hypertension exerts a profound impact on the microcirculation, causing both structural and functional alterations that contribute to systemic and organ-specific vascular damage. The microcirculation, comprising arterioles, capillaries, and venules with diameters smaller than 20 μm, plays a fundamental role in oxygen delivery, nutrient exchange, and maintaining tissue homeostasis. In the context of hypertension, microvascular remodeling and rarefaction result in reduced vessel density and elasticity, increasing vascular resistance and driving end-organ damage.
