A man in his 60s was referred for urgent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure following acute coronary syndrome. After induction of general anaesthesia, right jugular venous catheterisation under two-dimensional ultrasound guidance was planned as part of perioperative management. While obtaining vascular access, the pulsatile flow was noted once the dilator was inserted, having to abandon the procedure and immediately apply manual pressure. CT angiogram showed proximal right subclavian artery injury with active contrast extravasation and resultant large haematoma in the neck. The patient underwent urgent exploration of the injured vessel through a J-shaped ministernotomy, and primary repair of the artery was performed. The patient recovered from the procedure without any complications. He continued to stay in the hospital for a few days, afterwards, he underwent the initially planned CABG surgery. He was discharged home on day 5 after surgery without further concerns.

Background: An anomalous left vertebral artery (aLVA) can complicate aortic arch surgery. We examined the safety of various aLVA revascularization strategies during open total arch replacement.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 92 patients undergoing total arch replacement from January 2018 to May 2023 and identified 11 patients with aLVA.

Single-stage surgical repair of a pre-coarctation aortic arch aneurysm and arteria lusoria.

Managing an adult patient with aortic coarctation and associated anomalies presents a significant surgical challenge. We present a case of an adult male with aortic coarctation, pre-coarctation distal arch 7-cm aneurysm involving the origin of the left subclavian artery, and aberrant (lusoria) right subclavian artery. He was managed with one surgical approach, consisting of right carotid-subclavian bypass, exclusion of the right subclavian artery, proximal descending aortic replacement and reinsertion of left subclavian artery, using partial cardiopulmonary bypass.

Unlabelled: Data about the long-term safety and efficacy of stent implantation for central venous stenosis in patients on dialysis are limited. We report the case of a 66-year-old man on hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease who presented with stasis dermatitis around an arteriovenous shunt with ulceration of the left forearm. Computed tomography angiography showed a tight stenosis of the proximal left subclavian vein and the development of collateral blood vessels around the stenosis.

The objective of this research is to analyze the hemodynamic differences in five configurations of left subclavian artery (LSA) stent grafts after LSA endovascular reconstruction in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). For numerical simulation, one three-dimensional thoracic aortic geometry model with an LSA stent graft retrograde curved orientation was reconstructed from post-TEVAR computed tomography angiography (CTA) images, and four potential LSA graft configurations were modified and reconstructed: three straight (0, 2, and 10 mm aortic extension) and one anterograde configuration. The blood perfusion of the LSA, flow field, and hemodynamic wall parameters were analyzed.

A 61-year-old man was referred to our hospital for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection and an emergency operation was planned. In this case, the aberrant left vertebral artery originated directly from the aortic arch. Total arch replacement at the level between the left carotid artery and left aberrant vertebral artery was performed and an open stent graft was deployed in the true lumen of the descending aorta to obtain better distal aortic remodeling.
