Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated with major vasculature tumor extension is considered an advanced stage of disease to which palliative radiotherapy or chemotherapy is proposed. Surgical resection associated with chemotherapy or chemoembolization could be an opportunity to improve overall survival and recurrence-free survival in selected cases in a high-volume hepatobiliary center. Moreover, it has been 25 years since Couinaud described the entity of a posterior liver located behind an axial plane crossing the portal bifurcation.

Background: The septum is often underdeveloped in East Asian populations, and traditional endogenous extension stents may not adequately fulfill the requirements for rhinoplasty. Herein, we present an innovative exogenous extension framework featuring a mortise and tenon structure specifically designed for East Asians.

Methods: This framework comprises a mushroom-shaped rib cartilage component and a lancet-shaped expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) element, which are interconnected through a mortise and tenon design.

Presentation, Treatment and Outcomes of Brachial Artery Aneurysms.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mayo Clinic Health System, Eau Claire, WI. Electronic address:

Objective: Brachial artery aneurysms are rare entities that have typically been associated with trauma, infection, arterio-venous fistula creation or connective tissue disorders. These aneurysms are often asymptomatic, but they can also cause local tenderness or thrombo-embolic events. Due to the very low incidence of true brachial artery aneurysms, there are no standardized guidelines on their optimal management.

Background: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) leads to decreased quality of life and increased disease burden, resulting in progressive patient deterioration, limb amputation, and mortality.

Objectives: This study aims to present the outcomes of a Latin American experience using the open distal venous arterialization (DVA) technique for no-option limb salvage in a high volume CLTI center.

Methods: A retrospective case series study was performed including patients from 2018 to 2022 using a population from Bogotá, Colombia.
