Article Abstract
Objective: Recanalization of flush ostial superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusion is a very challenging procedure. Using the ipsilateral antegrade approach in such lesions has some difficulties. This study aimed to assess the feasibility, efficacy, and outcomes of duplex-guided ipsilateral antegrade access for endovascular treatment of atherosclerotic flush occlusion of the SFA.
Methods: This is a prospective two-center study that included chronic lower extremity ischemia patients with flush occlusion of SFA who underwent duplex-guided ipsilateral antegrade endovascular revascularization due to unfeasible contralateral femoral approach. Flush occlusions were preoperatively documented by duplex ultrasound and computed tomography angiography in all patients. The outcome measures were technical success, patency rates, perioperative morbidity and mortality, limb salvage, and amputation free survival rates.
Results: Between April 2019 and March 2021, 49 patients were enrolled in the current study with a mean age of 63.7 ± 5.7 years. Diabetes was the most common risk factor and was found in 40 (81.6%) patients. Associated popliteal lesions were found in seven (14.3%) patients, while 10 (20.4%) patients had combined tibial disease. Selective stenting was done in nine (18.4%) patients. Technical success was achieved in 43 (87.8%) patients. All failures were due to inability to cross the lesion rather than failure to access the common femoral artery. All complications were minor and occurred in seven (14.3%) patients. Primary, assisted primary, and secondary patency rates were 63.9% ± 7.1%, 82.8% ± 5.6%, and 93.5% ± 3.7% at 12 months, respectively. The overall 12-month limb salvage and amputation free survival rates were 91.8% and 83.3% ± 5.4%, respectively.
Conclusion: Duplex-guided ipsilateral antegrade femoral access is a feasible, safe, and effective endovascular treatment option for flush SFA occlusion when contralateral femoral access is not possible.

Background: Hemostatic devices are now frequently used in femoral artery punctures, and the Angio-Seal (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) is one of the most commonly used devices for closure of the femoral artery because it provides rapid hemostasis. Although device failure rarely occurs, if the collagen falls into the femoral artery, it may lead to severe limb ischemia. Herein, we describe a case of a novel endovascular technique for the treatment of Angio-Seal arterial closure device failure.

Article Synopsis
- Cerebral infarction due to internal carotid artery occlusion can lead to severe symptoms; treatment options include mechanical thrombectomy within 24 hours or conservative approaches for mild cases with collateral circulation.
- In cases where symptoms worsen, superficial temporal artery - middle cerebral artery anastomosis may be employed for revascularization, verified with contralateral angiography.
- Ten acute ICA occlusion cases were treated using intermediate catheter technology, achieving successful recanalization without significant complications, highlighting the method's effectiveness.
Combined Irreducible Femoral Head Fracture-Dislocation and Ipsilateral Segmental Femur Fracture: A Case Report.

Case: A 48-year-old man presented to a Level 1 trauma center after a motor vehicle crash with a right irreducible posterior hip dislocation and ipsilateral fractures of the femoral head and segmental femur shaft. This injury was managed with open reduction and internal fixation and antegrade intramedullary nailing.
Conclusion: This is the first report of a combined irreducible femoral head fracture-dislocation and a segmental femur fracture, a rare injury that requires a stepwise approach to operative management of each injury.

Objective: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) under flow reversal with dual protection using a proximal balloon and distal filter has been an established procedure for internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. This study investigates the effect of external carotid artery (ECA) occlusion on outcomes of CAS and ICA flow under flow reversal.
Methods: We reviewed 231 cases of CAS under flow reversal with ECA occlusion and 32 without.
