Purpose: This study aims to investigate the indications and therapeutic efficacy of flow-diverting stents (FDSs) in the management of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAAs) and dissections.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 18 patients treated for ECAAs with an FDS between 2010 and 2024. Patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, procedural details, and clinical and radiologic follow-up outcomes were extracted from medical records.
This case report describes a unique presentation of May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) in a 28-year-old woman, characterized by the congenital bifurcation of the left common iliac vein (LCIV) into the outer (OLCIV) and inner (ILCIV) segments. Both veins experienced significant compression - OLCIV proximally and ILCIV medially - due to the overlying right common iliac artery (RCIA) and lumbar spine. The patient presented with bilateral spider veins, lower extremity swelling, pelvic discomfort, and bilateral leg cramping.

Iliac vein aneurysms are a relatively rare clinical medical case requiring careful management. In general, vessel aneurysms are always an intriguing entity to approach due to the various options for diagnosis and treatment, which are heavily dependent on the unique characteristics of the condition. Such features include etiology, location, and coexistence with other abnormalities.

The mainstay of management for uncomplicated type B aortic dissection is currently optimal medical therapy, targeting blood pressure and heart rate, along with serial imaging. There is a paucity of data that informs whether early intervention with thoracic endografting in this group of patients will promote aortic remodeling and better long-term outcomes. Investigations to date, including the Investigation of Stent Grafts in Aortic Dissection (INSTEAD), INSTEAD-XL, and Acute Dissection: Stent Graft or Best Medical Therapy (ADSORB) studies, have compared thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with optimal medical therapy in patients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection but have not shown a benefit for TEVAR conclusively.

Introduction: Deep Vein Arterialization (DVA) is an innovative surgical technique aimed at enhancing blood flow in compromised limbs facing amputation. Maintenance of flow post-revascularization is crucial to limb salvage. As this is a new technique, no standardized thromboprophylaxis regime is currently established, and post-procedure thromboprophylaxis is at the discretion of the proceduralist.
