The thoracoabdominal multibranch endoprosthesis (TAMBE) is the first off-the-shelf, four-vessel branched endograft to obtain US Food and Drug Administration commercial approval for the treatment of complex abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Total transfemoral TAMBE approaches, previously described, may benefit patients with challenging aortic arch anatomy. This report presents a further refinement of the internal up-and-over total transfemoral TAMBE technique with temporary aortic balloon occlusion, applied in the setting of a ruptured pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Background: Osseointegration (OI) has revolutionized prosthetic rehabilitation for amputees. Despite its contributions, postamputation pain remains a significant problem. This study aims to investigate the role of sciatic nerve regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) in patients undergoing transfemoral OI, focusing on its impact on pain and prosthetic wear.

Background Traditionally, transfemoral and conventional trans-radial access sites have been used in coronary interventions. While the former is prone to complications like bleeding, hematoma, arteriovenous (AV) fistula, and increased morbidity and mortality, the latter is associated with instances of spasm and occlusion of the artery and compartment syndrome. Distal radial and ulnar access have recently been explored as alternative access sites.

Background: The need for radial to femoral access-site crossover (RFC) remains a limitation of radial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with unknown implications.
Methods: The UC San Diego Health internal National Cardiovascular Data Registry CathPCI Registry was used to obtain data on patients who underwent PCI from January 2018 to September 2022 for any indication. Coronary artery bypass graft patients were excluded.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a proven treatment for severe aortic stenosis (AS). Transfemoral access is the most prevalent method, achieved either surgically or percutaneously. This study compares in-hospital outcomes and length of stay between surgical cut-down and fully percutaneous approaches.

The thoracoabdominal multibranch endoprosthesis is a commercially available off-the-shelf four-vessel inner branched endograft for complex abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Although the device is intended to be used with upper extremity access per its instructions for use, total transfemoral approach may be needed in patients with unfavorable arch anatomy and may decrease the risk of cerebrovascular events. This article describes technical strategies and pitfalls of total transfemoral thoracoabdominal multibranch endoprosthesis implantation techniques with conventional co-axial steerable sheath, as well as variations of techniques utilizing preloaded wires in "up-and-over" configuration.
