A case of popliteal artery entrapment is described in a 36 years-old woman who presented with intermittent claudication. Several aspects of this rare syndrome are reviewed: incidence, pathogenicity, physiopathology, diagnosis and treatment. A peculiar accent is stressed on the dynamic tests to be realised together with the general examination of patients presenting with this rare and consequently almost unrecognized entity.

Development and Evaluation of Aloperine-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carriers for the Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
Int J Nanomedicine
January 2025
School of Pharmacy, Ningxia Medical University, Yinchuan, 750004, People's Republic of China.
Objective: This study focuses on the development and evaluation of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) loaded with aloperine as a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Methods: The NLCs were designed to enhance the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of aloperine, a compound with vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Through a series of experiments including single-factor experimentation, transmission electron microscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography, in vivo pharmacokinetics, and tissue distribution studies, we assessed the physicochemical properties, drug release profiles, and in vitro and in vivo performance of this novel nanocarrier.

Emergency carotid endarterectomy with stent retrieval in a patient with stent migration following failed carotid artery stenting.
Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
February 2025
Department of CTVS, AIIMS, Jodhpur, 342005 India.
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has become a favoured alternative to surgical carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in select cases of critical internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion. However, complications such as stent migration or entrapment can occur, necessitating prompt diagnosis and intervention. We present a case of a 75-year-old diabetic male who underwent CAS for recurrent presyncope at a private hospital, and during the procedure of CAS the stent was migrated and its proximal part was impacted in the critically narrowed part of the ICA.

Aim: This study aims to report a rare case of an embolization protection device (EPD) entrapment during Carotid Artery Stent (CAS) and to discuss the management strategy, including open surgery and concurrent carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
Case Presentation: A 71-year-old female presented with left limb weakness and unclear speech following CAS. Imaging revealed a new cerebral infarction and right internal carotid artery stenosis.
