Although elbow dislocation occurs frequently, associated brachial artery injury is rare. Adequate treatment of this injury includes prompt arteriography, reduction of the dislocation, vascular repair, and transarticular fixation of the reduction. A case report and review of the literature are presented.

Foot ulceration is a significant and growing health problem worldwide, particularly due to rises in diabetes mellitus (DM) and peripheral artery disease. The prediction of ulcer healing remains a major challenge. In patients with foot ulcers, medial arterial calcification (MAC) can be present as a result of concomitant DM or chronic kidney disease and is a prognostic factor for unfavorable outcome.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Is Associated With Endothelial Dysfunction in Women With HIV.

JACC Adv

January 2025

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Electronic address:

Background: HIV induced endothelial dysfunction (ED) contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women with HIV (WWH). Although psychosocial stress has been implicated in the development of CVD in HIV, its impact on ED in WWH remains unknown.

Objectives: The authors hypothesized that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and HIV interact to contribute to ED in WWH.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are inflammatory diseases. These two entities often co-exist, but little is known about the prevalence of this phenomenon in patients with PAD. The objectives of this prospective cross-sectional study were to determine the prevalence of COPD in patients with PAD and to assess the frequency of COPD underdiagnosis in this group of patients.

Exercise Training Enhances Brachial Artery Endothelial Function, Possibly via Improved HDL-C, not LDL-C and TG, in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Am J Cardiovasc Drugs

January 2025

Laboratory of Integrated Physiology, Department of Health and Human Performance, University of Houston, 3875 Holman St., Houston, TX, 77204-6015, USA.

Background: It remains controversial whether exercise training (EX) improves vascular endothelial function (VEF) independent of lipoprotein changes even though these are therapeutic goals for coronary artery disease (CAD).

Objective: The purpose of this study was to systematically review the effects of EX on VEF and blood lipid variables in patients with CAD.

Methods: This study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement.

Total Percutaneous Transfemoral Endovascular Treatment of Non-A Non-B Aortic Dissection.

JACC Case Rep

January 2025

Chinese Institutes for Medical Research and Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Although open repair remains the mainstream treatment for aortic arch dissection, its surgical complexity and perioperative complications are significant. We developed a novel stentgraft system for less-invasive endovascular aortic arch repair. We successfully performed a total percutaneous transfemoral endovascular repair of aortic arch dissection using a novel off-the-shelf endograft system.
