In the present report a score system is introduced with the aim of analysing routine angiographic images. The system consists of a vectorial score, which codes the pattern of occlusions, stenoses and plaques, and of an additive score describing the severity of the lesions visualised. The technique is suitable for computerised data analysis.

Purpose: To explore the information in routine digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and evaluate deep learning algorithms for automated identification of anatomic location in DSA sequences.
Methods: DSA of the abdominal aorta, celiac, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric, and bilateral external iliac arteries was labeled with the anatomic location from retrospectively collected endovascular procedures performed between 2010 and 2020 at a tertiary care medical center. "Key" images within each sequence demonstrating the parent vessel and the first bifurcation were additionally labeled.

Background: Luminal and hemodynamic evaluations of the cervical arteries inform the diagnosis and management of patients with cervical arterial disease.
Purpose: To demonstrate a 3D nonenhanced quantitative quiescent interval slice-selective (qQISS) magnetic resonance angiographic (MRA) strategy that provides simultaneous hemodynamic and luminal evaluation of the cervical arteries.
Study Type: Prospective.

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a progressive disease with limited options for secondary prevention. Ways to manage lipid parameters and dyslipidemia patterns in care after transplantation remain unclear. In this longitudinal study, we included 32 patients with long-term heart transplantations (median interval after transplant 13.

Background: Chronic total occlusions with ambiguous proximal caps present a significant challenge in endovascular interventions of patients with Buerger's disease.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of transpedal retrograde wire just marker technique in patients with Buerger's disease presenting proximal cap ambiguity and flush occlusions.
Methods: Seventeen patients with the diagnosis of Buerger's disease who had below the knee artery chronic total occlusions with ambiguous proximal caps were enrolled.
