AI Article Synopsis
- Segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) is a rare condition that affects mesenteric blood vessels and is characterized by the absence of inflammation or plaque buildup.
- A case study involves a 67-year-old woman who experienced severe abdominal pain shortly after an elective aortic procedure, leading to the discovery of new aneurysms in her mesenteric vessels.
- Despite efforts to treat the largest aneurysm through endovascular embolization, a postmortem examination ultimately confirmed that she had SAM.
Article Abstract
Segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) is a rare, noninflammatory, nonatherosclerotic condition that occurs commonly in mesenteric vessels. There are no known predisposing risk factors to the development of SAM. We present a case of a 67-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain 2 days following discharge after an elective endovascular abdominal aortic intervention. Repeat imaging 2 days after readmission showed the presence of multiple new aneurysms involving the mesenteric vasculature. She underwent attempted endovascular embolization of the largest aneurysm. The postmortem and histopathologic examinations confirmed the diagnosis of SAM.

Objective: The objective of this study was to discuss the characteristics of intracranial extension in patients with juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) and propose and an algorithm for its management.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients with JNA who underwent operations between January 2013 and January 2023 was done, and those cases with intracranial extension categorized as stage IIIb, IVa, and IVb according to the Andrews modification of the Fisch staging classification were included in the study. Data were collected about age at presentation, symptoms, radiological findings, routes of intracranial extension, therapeutic management, and follow-up.

Biobank for Aging Studies of the University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Background: Previous studies suggest an association between Alzheimer's disease and carotid artery atherosclerosis. However, the association between atherosclerotic carotid plaque composition and Alzheimer's disease pathology (neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles) has not been explored yet.
Method: Carotid arteries were dissected and the segments with the largest obstruction in the carotid bifurcation, and the common and internal carotid arteries were obtained.

Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) outcomes often rely on the expertise of individual vascular units, introducing potential subjectivity into disease staging. This retrospective, multicenter cohort study aimed to demonstrate the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) to provide disease staging based on inter-institutional expertise by predicting limb outcomes in post-interventional pedal angiograms of PAD patients, specifically in comparison to the inframalleolar modifier in the Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (IM GLASS).
Methods: We used computer vision (CV) based on the MobileNetV2 model, implemented via TensorFlow.

The popliteal artery segment is particularly challenging for endovascular treatment. Stents used for treating popliteal artery lesions are usually associated with an increased risk of stent fracture and re-occlusion. The Supera stent is designed to withstand mechanical stress, with a low risk of fracture.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), particularly ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), significantly impacts global health, exacerbated by risk factors such as diabetes mellitus (DM). While the Gensini score effectively quantifies coronary artery lesions, its correlation with fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, particularly in a non-linear fashion, has not been thoroughly explored in STEMI patients.
Methods: This study analyzed data from 464 STEMI patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention at the First People's Hospital of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, China, from January 2010 to October 2014.
