Limb ischemia caused by tumor embolus is rare. In this study, we report the case of a 77-year-old woman who suffered from acute ischemic limb. Computed tomography showed a tumor in the right bronchus invading the left atrium. The tumor fragments scattered resulting in the occlusion of the right iliac artery. The excluded embolus was revealed as a squamous cell carcinoma. Regarding the popliteal venous thrombus, Trousseau's syndrome was complicated. The patient was discharged without any complications. We believe that advanced lung cancer is a differential diagnosis of acute ischemic limbs and that successful limb rescue contributed to a patient's quality of life.

Outcomes of chronic limb-threatening ischemia revascularization in patients with chronic kidney disease in the BEST-CLI trial.
J Vasc Surg

Nephrology Division, University of Washington, Seattle, WA; Providence Medical Research Center, Providence Inland Northwest Health, Spokane, WA.
Background: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a high risk of poor outcomes. We aimed to compare the outcomes of lower extremity revascularization in patients with CLTI stratified by CKD severity in patients enrolled in the prospective, randomized Best Endovascular vs Best Surgical Therapy in Patients with CLTI (BEST-CLI) trial.
Methods: The BEST-CLI trial dataset was queried to categorize patients into three groups according to CKD stage.

Necrotising soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are one of the most challenging and severe forms of infections. The prognosis requires accurate and aggressive diagnosis and management. In this case, we present an unexplained case of concurrence of TE events following BKA for the surgical management of NSTI.

This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy and feasibility of the Perclose ProGlide Suture-Mediated Closure System (Abbott Vascular, Redwood City, CA, USA) for transbrachial access. A total of 100 patients from July 2020 to December 2023 were included in this retrospective study. Among them, 40 patients underwent ProGlide-guided suture closure following brachial artery (BA) puncture, while 60 patients received traditional manual compression.

Department of Surgery, State University of New York, Downstate Health Sciences University, Brooklyn.
Importance: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a major public health issue that requires considerable human and physical resources to provide optimal patient care. It is essential to characterize the disease severity and resource needs of patients with CLTI presenting to facilities of varying resource capacities.
Objective: To investigate the association between facility-level Medicaid payer proportions and the incidence of nonelective admissions among patients admitted for CLTI.
Short-Term Outcomes of Dual Versus Single Antiplatelet Therapy Following Popliteal and Infrapopliteal Endovascular Therapy: Data From Dutch Chronic Lower Limb-Threatening Ischemia Registry (THRILLER).
J Endovasc Ther
January 2025
Department of Vascular Surgery, Northwest Hospital Group, Alkmaar, The Netherlands.
Objective: There is a lack of consensus regarding the optimal antithrombotic therapy (ATT) after popliteal and infrapopliteal (PIP) endovascular therapy (EVT). Currently, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for 3 months and single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) are the most prescribed regimens in the Netherlands. Thus far, no randomized comparison has been performed on the optimal ATT approach.
