Article Abstract
Background: Ophthalmic artery (OphA) aneurysms, occurring at the junction of the internal carotid artery and the OphA orifice, present significant treatment challenges due to their location and complex anatomy. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate endovascular therapy and microsurgery in managing OphA aneurysms.
Methods: Adhering to Cochrane Handbook guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted in ClinicalTrials.gov and 4 databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase). Study quality was assessed using the National Institutes of Health tool. Statistical analyses were performed with Review Manager and open MetaAnalyst software.
Results: The meta-analysis included 9 articles, covering 902 OphA aneurysms. Cohort studies showed fair quality, while case series demonstrated good quality. No significant difference in clinical outcomes was found between endovascular therapy and surgery. Post-treatment visual outcomes had an odds ratio (OR) of 2.48 (95% confidence interval [CI] [0.35, 17.45], P = 0.36), modified Rankin Scale (mRS) >2 outcomes had an OR of 0.53 (95% CI [0.16, 1.7], P = 0.28), and severe complications had an OR of 0.52 (95% CI [0.20, 1.35], P = 0.18). In the single-arm analysis, direct surgery outcomes for visual, mRS >2, severe complications, intraoperative aneurysm rupture, and postoperative infarction were 0.139, 0.008, 0.05, 0.036, and 0.037, respectively. In the endovascular group, these outcomes were 0.078, 0.028, 0.03, and 0.691, respectively.
Conclusions: Our comparison of endovascular therapy and surgery for OphA aneurysms showed no significant difference in clinical outcomes. However, visual complications were more common with surgery, while mRS >2 was higher with endovascular therapy. Flow diversion reduced visual deficits compared to clipping and coiling, but further studies are needed.

Tips and Tricks to Facilitate Late Open Surgical Conversion after Endovascular Aortic Aneurysms Repair.

Endovascular repair has significantly improved the treatment of aortic aneurysms, particularly in older and high-risk patients. However, many studies have not found significant differences in long-term outcomes when comparing open and endovascular repair methods. Additionally, endovascular repair is associated with a higher rate of aortic-related reinterventions compared to open repair (OR), sometimes necessitating late open surgical conversion (LOSC).

Brain aneurysms, also known as cerebral aneurysms, are the growths of the parent artery. Based on their shape, aneurysms can be categorized as saccular or non-saccular. Several factors have been linked to multiple brain aneurysms but the most prevalent is arterial hypertension.

This case study presents the successful treatment of a 26-year-old male who experienced profuse bleeding from a gunshot wound to his thigh 4 days after the initial injury. The patient underwent surgery performed by a military vascular surgeon, during which previously undetected injuries to the femoral artery and vein were identified. The surgeon conducted a femoral artery alloprosthesis and sutured the damaged femoral vein.

Background: Concurrent ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are extremely rare, and their management remains perplexing due to the absence of high-quality evidence and limited resources. For the first time, we report a rare, preventable, and suboptimally managed case of concurrent AIS and STEMI in a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who received cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) chemotherapy.
Case Presentation: A 59-year-old postmenopausal woman of African origin with a background history of type 2 diabetes mellitus presented to the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute with sudden onset of left-sided weakness and typical ischemic chest pain for 3 days.

Aim: Few studies have evaluated the midterm prognosis of patients with intermittent claudication who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT) for femoropopliteal lesions. Therefore, we aimed to assess 2-year mortality and prognostic factors in these patients.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 947 patients who underwent EVT for intermittent claudication between January 2018 and December 2021 at eight Japanese cardiovascular centers.
