The Ovation Alto stent graft is a unique endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair device. A low-viscosity, radiopaque liquid polymer fills the rings located within the legs of the device. We reported a rare case of a patient diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm who was surgically treated using endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with an Ovation Alto stent graft. Polymer underfilling due to contralateral leg twisting of the stent graft's main body resulted in limb occlusion. We highlighted the importance of avoiding the rotation of the Ovation Alto stent graft, thus preventing the potential twisting of this device within the sheath after the insertion of the stent graft's main body.

Background: This monocentric, randomized controlled trial aims to compare the outcomes of kidney transplant recipients with magnetic double-J (DJ) stents versus conventional DJ stents. Specifically, we assessed stent-related symptoms, procedural difficulties, pain and duration of removal, and associated costs.
Methods: A total of 30 patients were randomly assigned to receive either a magnetic DJ (mDJ) stent or a conventional, standard DJ (sDJ) stent during kidney transplantation using the Lich-Gregoir technique.

Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare anatomic variant disease with an incidence of approximately 0.025%-0.05% it is considered to be an axial congenital vascular malformation, which may be related to the failure of sciatic artery degeneration and iliofemoral artery dysplasia.

Importance: Outcomes in patients with diabetes after fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using current-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) compared with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are unknown.
Objectives: To investigate the relative treatment effect of PCI vs CABG according to diabetes status with respect to major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 3 years and to evaluate the impact of the SYNTAX score.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This is a prespecified subgroup analysis of the FAME (Fractional Flow Reserve vs Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation) 3 trial, an investigator-initiated, randomized clinical trial conducted at 48 centers worldwide.

Background: Despite multiple techniques, portal vein (PV) inflow reconstruction during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for patients with biliary atresia (BA) and small-diameter PV remains a challenge. The use of PV interposition grafts has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate complications and reinterventions.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective multi-center cohort study of patients under 3 years of age (n=85) undergoing LDLT for biliary atresia using PV interposition grafts.

Background: Paraganglioma (PGL) is a rare neuroendocrine tumor. In the head and neck region, surgical resection of PGL is extremely difficult due to its proximity to many vital blood vessels, nerves, and organs. There is still some controversy about whether preoperative embolization is salutary.
