Background: Venous adventitial cystic disease (VACD) is a rare disease characterized by cysts, filled with a gelatinous mucous substance similar to joint fluid, in the adventitia of blood vessels adjacent to the joints. It is often misdiagnosed as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), femoral varices, venous tumors, or lymphadenopathy.
Case Summary: A 69-year-old woman visited our hospital with a complaint of swelling in the right lower extremity. The patient was diagnosed with DVT and prescribed apixaban at an outpatient clinic. After 3 wk, the patient was hospitalized again because of sudden swelling in the right lower extremity. We diagnosed VACD and performed surgery for cyst removal as well as patch angioplasty and thrombectomy of the right common femoral vein. The patient received anticoagulants for 6 mo and has been doing well without recurrence for 1 year postoperatively.
Conclusion: Recurrent VACD requires complete removal of the connections to the joint cavity to prevent recurrence.

The present study aimed to evaluate the histologic, histochemical, and immunohistochemical changes in buffalo livers with cystic echinococcosis. Noninfected and infected livers were collected from the freshly slaughtered buffalo at the Aligarh abattoir. Small pieces of both infected and noninfected livers ( = 5) were cut and processed for histologic and histochemical studies.

Common femoral vein aneurysms are rare and they are often misdiagnosed as soft tissue masses or as hernias. In this case report, we review literature and describe a patient who presented with left inguinal mass associated with ipsilateral limb swelling. He was initially misdiagnosed as cystic adventitial disease of common femoral vein.

Objectives: One possible reason for the long-term patency of no-touch (NT) saphenous vein grafts (SVG) is the preservation of the vasa vasorum in the adventitia/perivascular adipose tissue (PAT). We investigated the vasa vasorum of the NT SVG in vivo using frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT), performed qualitative and quantitative analyses and compared them with the conventional SVG.
Methods: An FD-OCT study was performed on 14 SVG at the postoperative coronary angiography 1-2 weeks postoperatively (NT group, n = 9; conventional group, n = 5).

Human blood vessel walls show concentric layers, with the outermost tunica adventitia harboring mesenchymal progenitor cells. These progenitor cells maintain vessel homeostasis and provide a robust cell source for cell-based therapies. However, human adventitial stem cell niche has not been studied in detail.

Background: Vein graft failure following cardiovascular bypass surgery results in significant patient morbidity and cost to the healthcare system. Vein graft injury can occur during autogenous vein harvest and preparation, as well as after implantation into the arterial system, leading to the development of intimal hyperplasia, vein graft stenosis, and, ultimately, bypass graft failure. Although previous studies have identified maladaptive pathways that occur shortly after implantation, the specific signaling pathways that occur during vein graft preparation are not well defined and may result in a cumulative impact on vein graft failure.
