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. The retrograde approach was chosen to minimize stroke risk associated with embolization. The successful resolution of the arterial thrombus and restoration of arterial patency underscore the importance of individualized management strategies in complex vascular emergencies.

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.
PAC1 Agonist Maxadilan Reduces Atherosclerotic Lesions in Hypercholesterolemic ApoE-Deficient Mice.

A possible involvement of immune- and vasoregulatory PACAP signaling at the PAC1 receptor in atherogenesis and plaque-associated vascular inflammation has been suggested. Therefore, we tested the PAC1 receptor agonist Maxadilan and the PAC1 selective antagonist M65 on plaque development and lumen stenosis in the ApoE atherosclerosis model for possible effects on atherogenesis. Adult male ApoE mice were fed a cholesterol-enriched diet (CED) or standard chow (SC) treated with Maxadilan, M65 or Sham.

Anomalous pulmonary vein drainage is a rare but clinically relevant variant of the cardiovascular anatomy. We present a case report of a 22-year-old male who was incidentally found to have anomalous pulmonary vein drainage into the innominate vein. The patient had a known history of seizures and was brought to the emergency department following a simple tonic-clonic seizure.

Purpose: Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare form of chronic vasculitis that is common in Asian female. As TAK predominantly affects young female with a longer life expectancy than those with atherosclerotic diseases, assessing the specific long-term outcomes of TAK treatment is important. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and post-procedural complications of surgical and endovascular treatment for TAK.
