We present a 4-year-old who suffered blunt abdominal trauma leading to Chance fractures to the lumbar spine, bucket-handle injuries to the ileum and descending colon, and an aortic intimal injury leading to occlusion of the infrarenal aorta with extension to the bifurcation. Her vascular injuries were managed by endarterectomy of the intimal injury, thrombectomy of the distal aorta and bilateral iliac arteries using a Fogarty catheter, and patch angioplasty of the infrarenal aorta using bovine pericardium secured by a combination of interrupted and running sutures to optimize elasticity and operative time.

Safety and efficacy of extravascular renal denervation using HyperQure™ renal denervation system in short-term swine model of hypertension.

This study investigated the safety and efficacy of the HyperQure™ extravascular renal denervation (RDN) system in a swine model of mild hypertension. Ten female pigs were fed a 3% salt diet to induce hypertension and underwent either extravascular RDN using the HyperQure™ RDN system ( = 7) or a sham procedure ( = 3). Blood pressure (BP) was continuously monitored using implanted transmitters, and safety assessments were conducted via computed tomography angiography (CTA) at 28 days post-procedure.

Both thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and malignant hypertension (MHT) present with thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Combination therapy with caplacizumab, anti-von Willebrand factor (VWF) A1 domain antibody, and plasma exchange (PE) has recently been highlighted as a novel therapeutic option for TTP. We treated a 51-year-old woman who showed severe hypertension, retinopathy, and acute kidney injury.

Acute type A aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency with extremely high mortality, especially if complicated by cardiac arrest. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are essential for survival but pose major difficulties in unstable patients. We describe the clinical course of a 68-year-old man with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to AAD.

During interventional surgeries of implantable cardiovascular devices in addressing cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the inevitable tissue damage will trigger host inflammation and vascular lumen injury, leading to delayed re-endothelization and intimal hyperplasia. Endowing cardiovascular implants with anti-inflammatory and endothelialization functions is conducive to the target site, offering significant tissue repair and regeneration benefits. Herein, inspired by the snake's molting process, a ShedWise device was developed by using the poly(propylene fumarate) polyurethane (PPFU) as the foundational material, which was clicked with hyperbranched polylysine (HBPL) and followed by conjugation with pro-endothelial functional Arg-Glu-Asp-Val peptide (REDV), and finally coated with a "self-sacrificing" layer having reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging ability and degradability.

Atherosclerosis and vessel wall trauma induce vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic modulation, leading to plaque cap growth and postintervention restenosis. Our systems biology approach identified RNA binding protein, mRNA processing factor () as a conserved, VSMC-specific gene associated with VSMC modulation in atherosclerosis. gene expression positively correlates with VSMC contractile markers in human and murine atherosclerotic arteries as well as in two vascular injury models during the postinjury intimal hyperplasia phase.
