Background: Pathologic compression of the median nerve at the elbow by the bicipital aponeurosis, or lacertus fibrosus, in athletes has been described well; however arterial compression at this level has been rarely described. We describe the evaluation and surgical treatment of a case of distal brachial artery and proximal radial artery compression by the lacertus fibrosus in a professional baseball pitcher.
Methods: We received verbal consent from the patient involved to prepare a published report of this case.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares early postoperative outcomes between carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) in patients who had previous carotid revascularization.
- It reviewed data from the Society of Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative database for patients from 2017 to 2023, categorizing them based on the sequence of their procedures.
- Results showed that patients who had CEA followed by CAS exhibited higher rates of postoperative complications, including in-hospital stroke and mortality, compared to the CAS-only group.
Article Synopsis
- REBOA is a medical procedure used in emergencies to help control bleeding in seriously injured people, especially in trauma cases.
- This study looked at 17 cases where REBOA was used in military settings between 2017 and 2019.
- Most of the injured patients survived after getting treatment, with many having serious injuries mostly in the abdomen and limbs.
Endovascular techniques for managing vascular trauma have become increasingly more common. However, these techniques have had limited application in recent conflicts. Using lessons from 20th century conflicts, the present study aims to highlight how advances made in the past may provide a roadmap to improving surgical capabilities in the future.

Methods: Burden, clinical course, and risk factors associated with all infections within the US Military Health System from fiscal years 2012 to 2019 were assessed by manual chart review of records with / codes for s infection.
Background: Targeted regional optimization (TRO), a partial resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta strategy, may mitigate distal ischemia and extend the window of effectiveness for this adjunct. An automated device may allow greater control and precise regulation of flow past the balloon, while being less resource-intensive. The objective of this study was to assess the technical feasibility of the novel advanced partial occlusion controller (APOC) in achieving TRO at multiple distal pressures.
