Background: The ketogenic diet (KD) has anti-tumor and anti-diabetic effects in addition to its anti-epileptic role. It could also improve cardiac function and attenuate neurological insult. However, the effect of KD on blood perfusion or tissue recovery after ischemia remains largely unknown. Thus, we observed blood flow and ischemic tissue recovery following hind limb ischemia (HLI) in mice.

Methods: C57 mice were fed with either a KD or normal diet (ND) for 2 weeks, before inducing hind limb ischemia, blood perfusion of ischemic limb tissue was observed at 0, 7, and 21 days post operation.

Results: KD not only decreased blood perfusion of ischemic limb tissue but also delayed muscle recovery after ischemia, induced muscle atrophy of non-ischemic tissue compared to mice fed with ND. Furthermore, KD delayed wound healing at the surgical site and aggravated inflammation of the ischemic tissue. At the cellular level, KD altered the metabolic status of limb tissue by decreasing glucose and ketone body utilization while increasing fatty acid oxidation. Following ischemia, glycolysis, ketolysis, and fatty acid utilization in limb tissue were all further reduced by KD, while ketogenesis was mildly increased post KD in this mice model.

Conclusion: The KD may cause impaired tissue recovery after ischemia and possible muscle atrophy under a prolonged diet. Our results hint that patients with limb ischemia should avoid ketogenic diet.

The perioperative surgical home (PSH) is a care delivery model designed to improve the perioperative and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgery by promoting holistic care and seamless cooperation between different services and subspecialties. An aging population and increased surgical complexity have led to renewed interest in PSH models.

Current classifications of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) are insufficient to identify Rutherford (R) 4 patients with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic factors for patients with R4 CLTI who undergo endovascular treatment (EVT) using data from the Tokyo-taMA peripheral vascular intervention research COmraDE (TOMA-CODE) registry and to propose a risk-scoring system. We analyzed the data of 2,248 prospectively enrolled patients from the registry, divided into 3 groups: intermittent claudication (IC), n = 1,185; R4, n = 401; and R5-6, n = 662.

Acute upper limb ischaemia is a vascular emergency which requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to optimise outcomes. Tumour embolism is a rare but known cause of this. We hereby report a rare case of acute upper limb ischaemia from a malignant lung embolism, which was subsequently treated successfully with surgical embolectomy.

Background: Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) represents the most advanced stage of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and is associated with dire prognosis, characterized by a substantial risk of limb amputation and diminished life expectancy. Despite significant advancements in therapeutic interventions, the underlying mechanisms precipitating the progression of PAD to CLTI remain elusive.

Methods: Considering diabetes is one of the main risk factors contributing to PAD exacerbation into CLTI, we compared hind limb ischemia recovery in HFD STZ vs.
