Aim Of The Study: The aim of this case report is to evaluate carotid duplex and hemodynamic patterns in an asymptomatic male patient with innominate artery occlusion. Innominate artery occlusion is a rare clinical entity that can lead to a range of cerebrovascular symptoms, including arm claudication, subclavian steal syndrome, and stroke. The case report emphasizes key learning points in diagnosing innominate artery occlusion using imaging and physiological methods.
Case Description: A 64-year-old asymptomatic male patient with a history of carotid bruit, hypertension, coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic aneurysm, hyperlipidemia, mild aortic stenosis, long-term tobacco use, and a body mass index of 24 was referred for a carotid ultrasound.
Conclusions: Innominate artery occlusion is a rare condition requiring a comprehensive assessment of collateralization before any intervention is attempted. Considering waveform features such as transient end-diastolic flow reversal and tardus parvus, along with brachial pressures and transcranial Doppler, can assist in evaluating the extent of disease.

Although open repair remains the mainstream treatment for aortic arch dissection, its surgical complexity and perioperative complications are significant. We developed a novel stentgraft system for less-invasive endovascular aortic arch repair. We successfully performed a total percutaneous transfemoral endovascular repair of aortic arch dissection using a novel off-the-shelf endograft system.

The optimal management of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) remains a controversial subject. While some surgeons opt for a hemiarch approach to minimize bypass and cross-clamping time, others prefer partial or total arch replacement to prevent the need for additional operations. The advent of hybrid approaches offers a variety of options to the aortic surgeon in treating ATAAD.

Background: Impella 5.5 ventricular assist device (VAD) insertion is typically done via the axillary artery or directly through the aorta; however, an axillary artery must be ≥6 mm in diameter, which excludes many pediatric patients who do not meet this criterion. The innominate artery is a larger vessel that can better accommodate the Impella VAD in pediatric patients.

Acute limb ischemia is a critical vascular emergency often resulting from embolic sources, requiring prompt intervention to prevent significant morbidity and mortality. This paper presents a case of a 74-year-old female with acute limb ischemia due to a thromboembolus in the distal brachial artery and a nonocclusive mobile thrombus in the innominate artery. The patient underwent urgent brachial artery thromboembolectomy and subsequent retrograde innominate artery stenting via right open transcarotid approach.

Objectives: Mal-deployment of the thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) stent graft during a frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedure for an acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) leads to devastating complications. We report a hemiarch replacement with TEVAR stent graft covering the aortic arch vessels salvaged through an endovascular approach.
Methods: A 69-year-old man with ATAAD in 2018, status post-hemiarch repair with TEVAR, presented in 2023 with progressive dizziness/syncope and lower extremity hypertension with inability to tolerate anti-hypertensives.
