Excellent results with respect to preservation of the limb and improvement of claudication were obtained with profundaplasty in 29 patients with Fontaine's stage III or IV chronic obliteration. The method is regarded as one of choice for saving the limb, but not as a replacement for other methods of direct revascularisation of the femoropopliteal axis in cases where complete functional recovery is also required. A comparison is made between the results of profundaplasty and reconstruction of the axis in a personal series.

Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation is a recognized treatment for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes and advanced chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), offering significant survival benefits. However, it is associated with a higher risk of venous thrombosis, which can jeopardize the survival of the pancreaticoduodenal graft. This case report describes a patient with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and ESRD who developed acute, occlusive deep vein thrombosis (DVT) involving the right common femoral, profunda femoral, and greater saphenous veins on postoperative day 1 (POD1) following a deceased donor SPK transplant, despite systemic prophylactic anticoagulation.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated three-year outcomes of endovascular treatment (EVT) for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with severe calcified lesions in the common femoral artery (CFA), using data from the Duesseldorf PTA Registry.
- A total of 150 patients were analyzed, with 66 undergoing rotational excisional atherectomy (REA) followed by drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty, and 84 receiving DCB alone; the procedural success rate was high at 97%.
- Findings indicated that EVT is safe and effective, showing high primary and secondary patency rates, low major adverse limb events (MALEs), and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) after three years, suggesting that RE

Purpose: Limited data are available regarding endovascular therapy of arteriosclerotic lesions of the deep femoral artery (DFA). In this study, we compare the outcomes of atherectomy combined with drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty and open repair of DFA lesions.
Methods: This is a multicenter retrospective registry of patients with peripheral artery occlusive disease Rutherford categories 2 to 5 treated by surgical profundaplasty (SP) or atherectomy followed by DCB for DFA lesions (symptomatic DFA).
Aorto-iliac and infrainguinal artery occlusive disease: different revascularization options according to the critical limb threatening ischemia category.

Background: Critical limb threatening-ischemia (CLTI) can be due to an extensive involvement of both the aorto-iliac (AI) and the infra-inguinal (II) districts and the efficacy of and extensive AI+II vs. only AI revascularization is still matter of debate. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the outcome in CLTI patients with concomitant AI and II peripheral artery disease (PAD) after revascularization limited to the AI or extended also to the II segment.

Background: Typical repair of common femoral artery (CFA) occlusive disease involves surgical endarterectomy followed by patch closure; however, prosthetic materials may become infected. In addition, in our institution, we have experienced an increased incidence of severe patch-related restenosis. We describe a technique for CFA endarterectomy and patchless proximal profundoplasty, and evaluate its feasibility.
