Intravascular stent infections are often associated with high risks of morbidity and mortality. We report here a case of a patient with an arterial stent and recurrent septicaemias successfully treated with phage-meropenem combination therapy. A 75-year-old female with arteriosclerosis and comorbidities went through a femoropopliteal bypass with prosthesis in the right inguinal area.

Background: Accidental intra-arterial administration of a medication can lead to serious iatrogenic harm. Most studies have discussed single cases of accidental intra-arterial administration of a medication, but only a few have described multiple cases occurring in a single, pediatric hospital setting.
Methods: The subjects were pediatric patients with an accidental intra-arterial administration of a medication.

Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare but well-known complication of mostly intra-arterial contrast administration and presents with a variety of neurological deficits due to disruption of the blood-brain barrier. We present a case of CIE after administration of intravenous contrast for computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPE). A woman in her mid-70s with history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presented with progressively worsening shortness of breath.

Background: Current endovascular treatments of below the knee (BTK) popliteal or tibial/peroneal arteries including investigational drug-coated balloons have limited long-term efficacy.
Objectives: This Phase 2 trial assessed the feasibility of adventitial deposition of temsirolimus to reduce neointimal hyperplasia and clinically relevant target lesion failure (CR-TLF) 6 months after BTK arterial revascularization.
Methods: This prospective, multicenter, double-blinded, comparative, dose-escalation trial enrolled 61 patients with Rutherford 3 to 5 symptoms undergoing endovascular revascularization of ≥1 angiographically significant BTK lesions.
