Vascular Institute of the Rockies (VIR), 4105 E Florida Ave., Denver, CO 80222, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) involves compression of nerves and blood vessels in the upper body, while complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain disorder without a clear physical cause.
- A 22-year-old woman experienced both TOS and CRPS following an arm injury, leading to severe pain that persisted for a decade.
- After multiple surgeries, her symptoms significantly improved during the third operation, where doctors focused on nerve relief and reducing scar tissue.
Cross-Seal IDE Trial: Prospective, Multicenter, Single-Arm Study of the Cross-Seal Suture-Mediated Vascular Closure Device System.

Department of Vascular Surgery, Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeons, Austin, TX (M.F.).
Article Synopsis
- A clinical trial assessed the Cross-Seal vascular closure device's ability to effectively and safely achieve hemostasis in patients using large sheaths (8F-18F) for interventional procedures.
- Conducted on 147 participants, the trial showed a quick average time to hemostasis of just 0.4 minutes, with high technical success (92.3%) and a low rate of major complications (5.7%).
- Results indicate that the Cross-Seal device is a safe and effective option for patients undergoing percutaneous endovascular procedures with large-bore access.

This is a case of a 4-cm left extrathoracic subclavian artery aneurysm (SCAA) in a 58-year-old man with an aortic root and abdominal aortic aneurysm. The patient had features suggestive of genetic arteriopathy, including vertebral artery tortuosity, pectus excavatum, tall stature, and scoliosis. The SCAA was successfully repaired with an inline prosthetic graft and anastomotic pledgets via a supraclavicular approach.

Three recently developed scoring systems for predicting 30-day mortality in patients with rAAA have been validated by their respective institutional data. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of these rAAA mortality risk scores using an independent community hospital dataset.

The Pelvic Solutions Center, Denver, CO, United States.
Background: Pelvic venous disorders are often undiagnosed due to the symptom variability and similarity to other disease presentations. 'Pelvic congestion syndrome' is a term often used as a diagnosis of exclusion, since there is currently no standardized diagnostic approach for pelvic venous disorders, which further delays treatment.
Case: A 25-year-old woman with treatment-refractory vulvodynia presented with symptoms that included left-sided vaginal wall pain, pruritis, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, muscle tension, and a chronic vaginal ulceration.
Preoperative risk score for the prediction of mortality after repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Division of Vascular Surgery, Harborview Medical Center, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.
Objective: Even in the ruptured endovascular aneurysm repair first era, there are still patients who will not survive their ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA). All previously published mortality risk scores include intraoperative variables and are not helpful with the decision to operate or in providing preoperative patient and family counseling. The purpose of this study was to develop a practical preoperative risk score to predict mortality after repair of rAAA.

The supraclavicular approach to scalenectomy and first rib resection has been modified since the original description in 1985. The incision is 1 to 2 cm above the clavicle, 1 cm lateral to the midline, and 5 to 7 cm long. Subplatysmal skin flaps are created.
