Introduction And Importance: Intraluminal migration of pellet has a wide range of manifestations. It can be asymptomatic or present with devastating outcomes such as ischemia, sepsis, or pulmonary embolism.
Case Presentation: We present a case of 57-year-old male who had a shot from air gun to his thigh, with antegrade migration to left proximal common femoral vein.
Clinical Discussion: He was taken to operating room for open exploration and retrieval of the pellet.
Conclusion: In summary, this case emphasizes the significance of stepwise approach in diagnosing and management of intra-vascular missiles. After establishing the diagnosis counselling for the patient in details for the risk and benefit of intervention is needed to choose either retrieval of the pellet or more of a conservative approach.

The subclavian artery's intrathoracic segment is a rare peripheral artery aneurysm site. Common causes are atherosclerosis, trauma, vasculitis, and infection. Subclavian artery aneurysms have a higher propensity for rupture, thrombosis, embolization, and compression of surrounding structures, thus necessitating urgent surgical care.

Objective: Atherosclerosis underlies the most common etiologies of mortality worldwide, resulting in nearly 10 million deaths annually. In atherosclerosis, inflammation, metabolic factors, and hemodynamics cause the accumulation of extracellular lipids and the formation of plaques in the tunica intima of specific arteries. Atherosclerotic plaques primarily form in the coronary and carotid arteries, the aorta, and the peripheral arteries of the lower extremities.

Mutations in connexin 32 (Cx32) are a common cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1X (CMT1X) disease, an inherited peripheral neuropathy characterized by progressive neuromuscular weakness and demyelination. There are no approved pharmacologic therapies for CMT1X, and identifying new treatments that slow the onset and severity of neuromuscular decline may aid disease management. Cemdomespib is an orally bioavailable small molecule that improved demyelination and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) morphology in mice lacking Cx32 expression.

Introduction: Numerous orthopaedic procedures including dynamic hip screw plating and various osteotomies require placement of a reference guide pin or K wire to direct bone cuts or for drilling screw holes. Appropriate positioning of these wires is a critical component of surgery. Irrespective of whether one is a seasoned surgeon or an apprentice, these wires often need repositioning and readjustment.

With advancements in medical devices and imaging techniques, endovascular treatment using stent grafts has emerged as a viable and aggressive therapeutic option for traumatic subclavian artery injuries, including iatrogenic cases. Existing literature suggests that endovascular treatment is less invasive and offers hemostatic success rates comparable to traditional surgical methods. However, there is a paucity of case reports, necessitating further investigation into treatment indications and procedural challenges.
