Late occlusion of a polytetrafluoroethylene femoropopliteal graft due to implant calcification and heterotopic ossification.

Acta Chir Belg

Department of General and Thoracovascular Surgery, A.Z. Maria Middelares, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium.

Published: December 1994

A case of late occlusion due to thrombosis in a femoropopliteal polytetrafluoroethylene implant, following 9 years of good function with a 2-month period of impaired flexion of the knee due to heterotopic bone formation around the graft, is presented. The present case is an example of local calcification within the graft and a rare example of heterotopic ossification around the implant.

Background: Acute ischemic stroke treatment typically involves tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) or tenecteplase, but about 50% of patients do not achieve successful reperfusion. The causes of tPA resistance, influenced by thrombus composition and timing, are not fully clear. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), associated with poor outcomes and reperfusion resistance, contribute to thrombosis.

The therapeutic time window for endovascular therapy in acute stroke patients with large-vessel occlusion was extended to 24 hours from onset. Although a retrospective study showed the efficacy of endovascular therapy beyond 24 hours from the last known well, it remains unclear whether endovascular therapy is effective. Extending the time window of Endovascular therapy in the Triage of Late Presenting Strokes beyond 24 h (SKIP-EXTEND trial) aimed to clarify the efficacy of endovascular therapy compared to the best medical management.

Fenestrated Anaconda Endograft for the Treatment of Complex Aortic Aneurysms: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

J Endovasc Ther

January 2025

Department of Vascular Surgery, Swiss Aortic Center Bern, Inselspital, University Hospital of Bern, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.

Purpose: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the outcomes of Anaconda fenestrated endograft for the treatment of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (cAAA).

Material And Methods: A systematic search of all the literature reported until May 2024 was performed according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The pooled 30-day mortality rate, technical success rate, reintervention rate as well as bridging stent occlusion rate, and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using fixed or random effect methods.

Clinical study of colorViz fusion image vascular grading based on multi-phase CTA reconstruction in acute ischemic stroke.

BMC Med Imaging

January 2025

Department of Intervention, The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University,No.155 The Nanjing North street, Heping District, Shenyang, Liaoning, 110000, P.R. China.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of ColorViz fused images from multi-phase computed tomography angiography (mCTA) using GE Healthcare's FastStroke software for newly diagnosed cerebral infarctions in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Methods: A total of 106 AIS patients with unilateral anterior circulation occlusion were prospectively enrolled. All patients underwent mCTA scans during the arterial peak phase, venous peak phase, and venous late phase.

Synchrotron X-ray micro-computed tomography enhances our knowledge of the skull anatomy of a Late Triassic ecteniniid cynodont with hypercanines.

Hypercanines, or hypertrophied canines, are observed in a wide range of both extinct and extant synapsids. In non-mammaliaform cynodonts, the Permo-Triassic forerunners of mammals, long canines are not uncommon, appearing in several unrelated taxa within the clade. Among them is Trucidocynodon riograndensis, a carnivorous ecteniniid cynodont from the Late Triassic of Brazil, which exhibits a specialized dentition, including spear-shaped incisors, very long and narrow canines, and sectorial postcanines with distally oriented cusps, all of which have finely serrated margins.
