Objective: Surgical thromboendarterectomy (TEA) is the standard treatment for an occlusive lesion of the common femoral artery (CFA). However, there is limited knowledge on the need for patch angioplasty in CFA TEA. The objective of this study was to compare the peri-operative and two year results of CFA TEA with or without patch angioplasty.
Methods: A multicentre retrospective observational study was performed at 34 Japanese centres. Comparisons were made between patients undergoing CFA TEA with or without patch angioplasty after propensity score matching (PSM). The primary endpoints were primary patency and freedom from target lesion revascularisation (TLR) of the TEA lesion. The secondary endpoints were hospital outcomes, limb salvage, and overall survival.
Results: Between 2018 and 2020, 428 TEA procedures (237 with patch angioplasty and 191 with primary closure) were performed. PSM extracted 151 pairs with no significant intergroup differences in baseline characteristics. Peri-operative death and complications occurred in 0.7% vs. 1.3% (p = 1.0) and 6.0% vs. 6.6% (p = 1.0), respectively. The follow up rate was 96% over a median follow up of 14.9 months (interquartile range 8.3, 24.3). Loss of primary patency occurred in 18 patients. The two year primary patency of patch angioplasty cases was statistically significantly higher than that of primary closure cases (97.0% vs. 89.9%; p = .021). TLR was performed in 14 patients. The two year freedom from TLR in patch angioplasty cases was also statistically significantly higher than in primary closure cases (98.6% vs. 92.9%; p = .003). During follow up, seven limbs required major amputation and 40 patients died. There was no statistically significant difference in limb salvage and survival between the two groups after PSM.
Conclusions: This is the first report to show that patch angioplasty may decrease re-stenosis and target lesion revascularisation of CFA TEA lesions.

Objective: Berry syndrome is a group of rare congenital cardiac malformations including aortopulmonary window (APW), aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery (AORPA), interruption of the aortic arch (IAA), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (supplying the descending aorta) and intact ventricular septum. This paper will analyze the clinical data of 7 patients with Berry syndrome who underwent surgical treatment in our institution and discuss the one-stage surgical correction of Berry syndrome in combination with the literature.
Methods: From January 2013 to July 2024, a total of 7 children with Berry syndrome were admitted to the Cardiac Surgery Department of Beijing Children's Hospital.

The carotid web is a rare fibromuscular dysplasia disease of the internal carotid artery wall. It is a cause of thromboembolic stroke in a demographic of patients generally younger than those with atherosclerotic carotid artery disease. It is easy to miss the diagnosis without a high index of suspicion.

Background: Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is associated with an increased risk of myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac death. This study aims to evaluate the medium-term outcomes of surgical repair for AAOCA and to introduce a novel off-pump technique for anomalous coronary artery reimplantation.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 12 patients aged 12 years and older who underwent AAOCA surgery at Fuwai Hospital between 2009 and 2016.

Objective: Various studies have failed to detect a difference in outcomes between carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with patch angioplasty and eversion CEA. This study aimed to assess whether surgical technique and related department policy are associated with in hospital outcomes after CEA.
Methods: This was a secondary data analysis based on the German statutory quality assurance database.
