Selective coronary angiography, using a catheter sheath placed across the lumbar region and into the abdominal aorta, has been performed for a patient with lack of other arterial access due to severe occlusive atherosclerosis in the abdominal aorta and innominate and left subclavian arteries. This approach is quick and facile, but care must be taken to prevent possible bleeding complications.

Abnormal characteristics of inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta among neonates with early onset septic shock.

Ital J Pediatr

January 2025

Department of Neonatology, Shanghai Children's Medical Center, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao tong University, Shanghai, China.

Background: The variety of shocks in neonates, if not recognized and treated immediately, is a major cause for fatality. The use of echocardiography may improve assessment and treatment, but its reference values across gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW) are lacking. To address the information gap, this study aimed at correlating GA and BW of newborns with nonhemodynamic abnormalities, and at evaluating the usefulness of such reference values in neonates with early onset septic (EOS) -shock.

Atherogenesis is prone in medium and large-sized vessels, such as the aorta and coronary arteries, where hemodynamic stress is critical. Low and oscillatory wall shear stress contributes significantly to endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. Murray's law minimizes energy expenditure in vascular networks and applies to small arteries.

CIDEC/FSP27 exacerbates obesity-related abdominal aortic aneurysm by promoting perivascular adipose tissue inflammation.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is strongly correlated with obesity, partially due to the abnormal expansion of abdominal perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT). Cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor-like effector C (CIDEC), also known as fat-specific protein 27 (FSP27) in rodents, is specifically expressed in adipose tissue where it mediates lipid droplet fusion and adipose tissue expansion. Whether and how CIDEC/FSP27 plays a role in AAA pathology remains elusive.

Adverse iliofemoral anatomy represents a unique challenge for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). This report describes a transaxillary EVAR in a patient with severe iliofemoral occlusive disease and an infrarenal aortic aneurysm. A reversely mounted Gore Excluder graft was advanced and deployed in the infrarenal aorta using the left axillary artery.

Background: Vascular calcification is common and progressive in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, the risk factors associated with the progression of vascular calcification in patients receiving maintenance dialysis have not been fully elucidated. Here, we aimed to evaluate vascular calcification and identify the factors associated with its progression in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis.
