Background: Patients presenting with Stanford type A aortic dissection complicated by acute occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) exhibit an exceedingly high mortality rate, even if emergency surgery for ascending aorta repair is performed. consequently, appropriate management of acute SMA occlusion arising from acute Stanford type A aortic dissection is crucial. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment of acute mesenteric occlusion first in stable patients with acute type A aortic dissection.

Objective: Pediatric cerebral vasospasm (PCV) is associated with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), but aSAH is uncommon in children. No universal guidelines exist for PCV management. The authors sought to assess variations in practice patterns in pediatric aSAH and PCV management.

Background: Iatrogenic vertebral artery injury during surgery can cause pseudoaneurysm, hemorrhage, thrombosis, ischemia, or death. Strategies to prevent cerebrovascular embolic complications include surgical ligation, endovascular stenting, and/or antiplatelet therapy.
Observations: A 73-year-old female with a known right vertebral artery occlusion underwent a C2-3 laminectomy, complicated by left vertebral artery injury and occlusion with subsequent posterior circulation ischemia.

Background: Delayed stent grafting for blunt thoracic aortic injuries (BTAIs) is current standard of care. However, given the heterogeneity of pseudoaneurysm presentations, it is currently unclear which severe BTAIs require more urgent intervention. We hypothesize that a Traumatic Aortic Disruption Index (TADI) calculation based on sagittal computed tomography angiography imaging measurements would correlate with urgency of stent grafting.
