Background: Despite advancements in endovascular techniques, microsurgical treatment for posterior circulation aneurysms remains challenging.
Method: This report highlights the successful clipping surgery of a 17-year-old female patient with an aneurysm located at the basilar artery (BA) bifurcation and left anterior choroidal artery (AChoA). To improve exposure, the posterior communicating artery was transected. A straight fenestrated clip was then placed to repair the BA bifurcation aneurysm, followed by a curved mini clip for the AChoA aneurysm.
Conclusion: This report demonstrates the nuances of microsurgery in the treatment of select complex cases, which can benefit from microsurgery to achieve optimal treatment outcomes.

Double kissing crush versus culotte for bifurcation percutaneous coronary interventions: insights from the PROGRESS-BIFURCATION registry.
J Invasive Cardiol

Background: Upfront 2-stent techniques are often used in bifurcation percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), but there is controversy about optimal strategy selection.
Methods: The authors examined the clinical and angiographic characteristics and long-term outcomes of 232 bifurcation PCIs that were performed using the double kissing (DK) crush or culotte technique in 216 patients between 2014 and 2023 using data from the Prospective Global Registry for the Study of Bifurcation Lesion Interventions (NCT05100992). The inverse probability of treatment weighted (IPTW) Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess long-term outcomes.
Triglyceride-glucose index: carotid intima-media thickness and cardiovascular risk in a European population.
Cardiovasc Diabetol

Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is now widely recognized as a marker of insulin resistance and has been linked to the development and prognosis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) in numerous populations, particularly in the Eastern world. Although there are fewer reports from the Western world, and they are sometimes contradictory, the absence of definitive data on the relationship between a raised TyG index and cardiovascular risk suggested the opportunity of testing this biochemical marker against a well-established vascular marker such as the carotid intima media thickness (c-IMT).
Methods: Primary prevention patients were selected from a cohort of individuals who underwent c-IMT measurement between 1984 and 2018 at the Dyslipidemia Center at the ASST Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda in Milan, Italy.
A Bleed From the Distal Anastomosis Site of a Bypass Graft From the Left Common Iliac Artery to the Celiac Trunk Treated With a Surgeon-Modified Fenestrated Endograft.
J Endovasc Ther

Vascular Unit, Department of Surgery, Mater Dei Hospital, Msida, Malta.
Purpose: The use of surgeon-modified fenestrated endograft to treat a bleeding complication in the common iliac artery.
Technique: An Endurant limb graft was modified on back table in theater after planning the fenestration using a semi-automated centerline. The Endurant stent was planned to land flush at the aortic bifurcation.
Complete Resection of Aorticopulmonary Paraganglioma With Reconstruction in a Pediatric Patient.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

Division of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Children's Heart Institute, Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston McGovern Medical School, Houston, Texas.
Aorticopulmonary paragangliomas are exceedingly rare tumors in pediatric populations. Complete surgical resection is the only curative treatment. However, resection is challenging due to the vascularity of paragangliomas and their close relationship with the great vessels.
