Background: Pedal acceleration time (PAT) is a novel indicator of peripheral arterial disease in the lower limbs. Elevated PAT values are associated with worse limb ischemia. Arterial stiffness indexes are another class of indicators recently studied in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).

Background: Acute lower extremity limb ischemia (ALI) is a common vascular surgery emergency, primarily caused by embolism or atherosclerotic in situ thrombosis-acute on chronic limb ischemia (AoCLI). This study aimed to examine the clinical features and treatment challenges of AoCLI.

Methods And Results: Between January 2014 and December 2022, 73 patients with AoCLI (n=35) or embolic ALI (n=38) were analyzed.

Introduction: Aortofemoral or aortoiliac bypasses (AFB/AIB) are considered the gold standard treatment for patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease. Myocardial infarction (MI) is a postoperative risk in AFB/AIB surgeries and preoperative stress testing (PST) is frequently utilized to inform operative planning and pre-operative risk discussions. The aim of this study is to assess the utility of PST in determining outcomes following AFB/AIB in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI).

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate perioperative and one-year outcomes of patients undergoing aortobiiliac bypass (ABIB) in comparison with aortobifemoral bypass (ABFB) for the treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease, using data from the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI).

Methods: All patients undergoing ABIB and ABFB bypasses (2010-2023) were queried. The primary outcome was surgical site infections (SSI).

Sympathetic innervation plays a critical role in regulating vascular function, yet its influence on vascular regeneration and reinnervation following ischemic injury remains poorly understood. This study develops and validates murine models of localized sympathetic denervation using 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) to enable study of the sympathetic nervous system's impact on vascular systems during tissue repair. Two methods of 6-OHDA administration were employed: a single topical application during open surgery and minimally invasive weekly subcutaneous injections.
