Rationale And Objectives: This study compared the safety and efficacy of iodixanol with those of ioxaglate in adult patients undergoing aortography or peripheral arteriography.
Methods: Forty-six patients were enrolled in this controlled, randomized, double-blind, two-center study. The patients were monitored for adverse events, injection-related discomfort, and trends in laboratory data or vital signs. Diagnostic efficacy was assessed by the quality of contrast enhancement.
Results: All procedures were diagnostic, with no significant difference in quality of visualization (p = .205). No significant difference was seen in the number of patients experiencing mild or moderate adverse effects (p = .106). Patients receiving ioxaglate reported a significantly greater incidence of injection-related pain (p = .025).
Conclusion: The results of this study support the conclusion that iodixanol at 320 mg I/kg is safe and effective for adult aortography and peripheral arteriography and causes significantly less injection-related pain than ioxaglate.

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms and atheromatous plaques are well-established potential culprits in the development of cholesterol embolization. This embolic phenomenon can result in the occlusion of peripheral arteries in the forefoot or toes, commonly referred to as "trash foot".
Case: A 61-year old patient exhibited severe symptoms and signs of lower limb and mesenteric ischemia, represented clinically by abdominal pain, hematochezia, and bilateral plantar necrotic lesions, attributed to embolization from a previously unknown large infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Current planning of aortic and peripheral endovascular procedures is based largely on manual measurements performed from the 3-dimensional reconstruction of preoperative computed tomography scans. Assessment of device behavior inside patient anatomy is often difficult, and available tools, such as 3-dimensional-printed models, have several limitations. Digital twin (DT) technology has been used successfully in automotive and aerospace industries and applied recently to endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.

Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) has been associated with multiple vascular abnormalities involving the entire arterial tree. However, limited reports regarding compromise in the aortoiliac and femoral bifurcation are available. Further, recommendations for optimal approach, thresholds for diameter at the time of surgery, and surveillance are also limited.

Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary benign tumors of the heart. The occlusion of peripheral arteries and complete obstruction of the abdominal aorta by a tumor embolus presents with distinct clinical manifestations. Herein, we present the case of a 38-year-old male with acute paresthesia, muscle weakness, erythematous, and violaceous changes in skin color localized to the dorsum of the left forefoot initially treated as cutaneous vasculitis.
