Arterial blowout syndrome has mostly been described in carotid arteries and has been attributed to factors associated with head and neck neoplasia, radical resection, and a history of irradiation. Only sporadic cases have been described in other arteries. Herein we present a case of the femoral artery blowout syndrome, six months after radical surgery of the vulva and radiation therapy.

Unlabelled: Carotid Blowout Syndrome (CBS) is a rare and life-threatening condition that necessitates prompt intervention to prevent fatal hemorrhage. This study compares the outcomes of two primary endovascular approaches: reconstructive interventions, which aim to preserve carotid artery function using stents or balloon angioplasty, and deconstructive interventions, which involve vessel occlusion to halt bleeding. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed by searching multiple databases for relevant studies published from January 2000 to August 2023.

Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic nasopharyngectomy is a surgical procedure for treating recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
- It often needs reconstruction using highly vascularized flaps to fill in volume and avoid complications like carotid blowout syndrome.
- The submental island flap is an effective option for this type of reconstruction.

Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) is a critical and often fatal complication associated with head and neck malignancies. CBS is characterized by 3 stages as follows: threatened, impending, and acute rupture or hemorrhage. The condition is notably linked with a history of radiotherapy for head and neck cancers, with an incidence of approximately 3-4% among those who have received such treatments.

Purpose: Hospital nurses play an important role in providing palliative end-of-life care, for example for patients with carotid blowout. In such cases, dying is a severe event in which exsanguination occurs. Little is known about nurses' experiences regarding care to patients at risk of a carotid blowout.
