To report the results of pre-emptive embolization of collateral branches of the abdominal aorta in patients undergoing standard bifurcated EVAR versus those undergoing standard EVAR without embolization. This study is a single-center, retrospective, observational cohort analysis of consecutive patients who underwent elective standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) between 1 October 2013, and 31 December 2022, with a minimum follow-up period of 2 years. The patients were divided into two groups: group A, which did not receive embolization, and group B, which underwent pre-emptive embolization of aortic collateral branches.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study analyzed 458 patients from January to October 2022 across five centers, finding that VCs occurred in 6.5% of patients, with no significant differences between the USG (7.3%) and FG (5.4%) groups.
  • * Results indicated that both USG and FG access management techniques did not influence the rate of VCs, implying low rates of complications overall

Pulmonary infection of 2019-nCoV can frequently induce acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with partial pressure of arterial oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio (pO2/FiO2) of less than 300 mmHg. Moreover, it can be complicated with cardiac injury or arrhythmia, microvascular and large-vessel thrombosis. We describe a case of a patient with COVID19-ARDS and concomitant critical ischemia of the limbs.

Objective: The aim of our study was to determine the incidence, characteristics, and clinical outcomes of patients with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection who had presented with and been treated for acute limb ischemia (ALI) during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.

Methods: We performed a single-center, observational cohort study. The data from all patients who had tested positive for COVID-19 and had presented with ALI requiring urgent operative treatment were collected in a prospectively maintained database.

Spontaneous or minimally traumatic cases have also been reported. Clinical manifestations are usually chest and/or back pain, pulse loss and paresthesia, whereas nausea, dizziness and vomiting are present in case of involvement of the vertebral artery.
