Abdominal aortic aneurysms can constitute a therapeutic challenge in several anatomical scenarios, making endovascular treatment more complex. A juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (JR-AAA) is defined by the absence of a proximal landing zone in the infrarenal segment and, therefore, techniques must be used to obtain an adequate neck for fixing the endoprostheses without provoking occlusion of renal arteries and visceral branches. The parallel grafts technique, physician-modified stent-graft, industry customized endoprostheses, and off-the-shelf branched endoprosthesis are techniques used in abdominal aneurysms with inadequate proximal neck, but each technique has its indications, limitations, and risks. In this therapeutic challenge, we present a case of urgent endovascular treatment of a JR-AAA using a parallel grafts technique, with good medium-term results, and discuss the therapeutic options.

Introduction: Blunt traumatic aortic injury (TAI) is a critical condition and a leading cause of mortality in trauma patients, often resulting from high-speed accidents. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has developed into the preferred therapeutic approach due to its minimally invasive nature and promising outcomes. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of TEVAR for managing TAI over a 10-year period at a Level-1 trauma center.

Purpose: To propose a gastrointestinal bleeding management algorithm that incorporates an endoscopic and imaging scoring system and specifies management of vascular complication from button battery ingestion.
Recent Findings: Button batteries (BB) are found in many electronic devices and ingestions are associated with serious complications especially in cases of unwitnessed ingestions, prolonged impaction, and in children less than 5 years of age. Gastrointestinal bleeding from BB related vascular injury is rare but often rapidly fatal, with a mortality rate as high as 81%.

Background: Research suggests that although men have a higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) rate, women with CVD are more likely to experience a poorer prognosis, possibly owing to incorrect diagnosis and poorer treatment. A question not yet addressed is whether some of this inequality could be due to sex bias when selecting patients for operation.
Method: The participants were from the Scottish Heart Health Extended Cohort who had been admitted to hospital with a cardiovascular diagnosis over the study period.

Basilar artery perforator aneurysms (BAPAs) are rare and may be occult on initial imaging due to their small size and susceptibility to intermittent thrombosis.1 2 Conventional treatments for aneurysms (eg, clipping or coiling) have proved challenging.3 Recently, endovascular electrocoagulation has been shown to be effective for BAPAs.
