Article Abstract

Background: Our study aimed to compare the clinical presentation and outcomes of post-cholecystectomy bile duct injuries (BDI) with and without arterial injuries.

Methods: A prospective analysis of 123 patients with post-cholecystectomy BDI between July 2018 and January 2022 was performed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the impact of vascular injuries on perioperative complications and long-term outcomes after delayed repair.

Results: Of 123 patients, 42 (34%) had associated vascular injuries, predominantly right hepatic artery disruptions. These patients experienced significantly higher perioperative complications after the index surgery (Cholangiolar abscess- 83.3% vs 32.1% ( p<0.001), recurrent cholangitis- 66.67 % vs 14.81 % ( p<0.001), blood transfusions ³2 - 89.74 % vs 28.57 % ( p<0.001), hospital admissions ³3 - 3.88 ± 1.99 vs 2.49 ± 0.74 ( p<0.001). Delayed Hepp-Couinaud biliary repair was performed in 112 patients. After a median follow-up, of 2 years, 85 (51.43 % vs. 88.16 % ), 12 (25.71 % vs. 3.89 %), 6 (11.43 % vs. 2.59 %), and 9 (11.43 % vs. 6.49 %) patients had excellent, good, fair, and poor outcomes.

Conclusion: Concomitant vasculobiliary injuries were associated with increased morbidity after index surgery; however, the long-term outcomes following definitive biliary repair remained comparable.

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.

Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and New York- Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, 630 West 168Th Street, New York, NY, PH17-105H10032, USA.

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%.

Mini-open transosseous repair with bursal augmentation improves outcomes in massive rotator cuff tears.

Treatment of Massive rotator cuff tears (MRCT) is difficult, with high rates of retears. Using biological augmentation in the form of the highly vascular subacromial bursa, was used to improve tendon healing. This work aimed to evaluate the results of arthroscopic guided mini-open transosseous repair with bursal augmentation in the treatment of MRCTs in a five-step approach.
