Twenty-five in situ thrombolysis using Lysyl Plasminogen and low doses of urokinase were performed on 25 acute, recent and severe arterial occlusion of lower limbs. Early success were 56% and 44% with a follow up of 5 months. Complications were very limited. Thus the thrombolytic treatment used in this study appears as effective as locally administered streptokinase but higher tolerated. It seems to be able to win one of the best places in the treatment of the arterial disease of the lower limbs.

Vascularized composite allograft (VCA) transplantation represents a significant advancement in reconstructive surgery and offers hope to individuals who experienced congenital disorders or severe tissue injuries to restore physical appearance, function, and enhance quality of life. VCA recovery introduces complexities to conventional solid organ recovery, and there remain concerns regarding the potential impact of VCA recovery on non-VCA organs for transplant. The current retrospective study examines deceased donor characteristics and observed-to-expected (O/E) organ yield ratios for 51 VCA donors recovered in the US between July 4, 2014 and March 31, 2024, compared with a contemporary cohort of non-VCA donors recovered in 2023.
