Article Abstract
Severe injury to the knee and the surrounding area is frequently associated with injury to ligaments of the knee joint and structures in the popliteal fossa. This case involved a popliteal artery occlusion, severe bone loss of distal femur, loss of collateral ligaments, and extensor mechanism destruction of the knee. Initially, prompt recognition and correction of associated popliteal artery injury are important for good results after treatment. After successful revascularization, treatment for severe bone loss of distal femur and injury of the knee joint must be followed. We treated this case by delayed reconstruction using modular segmental endoprosthesis after revascularization of the popliteal artery. This allowed early ambulation. At 36 months after surgery, the patient had good circulation of the lower limb and was ambulating independently.

3-Year Outcomes of Drug-Eluting Stent vs Drug-Coated Balloon for Femoropopliteal Artery Lesions: Propensity Score-Matched Real-World Study.
JACC Cardiovasc Interv

Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, the Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Long-term comparative data on drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-coated balloons (DCB) for femoropopliteal artery (FPA) disease remain limited.
Objectives: The authors sought to compare 3-year outcomes of DES vs DCB without bailout stenting in FPA disease.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1,406 patients from a multicenter registry who underwent endovascular therapy for FPA using DES (n = 342) or DCB (n = 1,064) after the successful lesion preparation.
12 MONTHS OUTCOMES OF POLYMER-FREE AMPHILIMUS ELUTING STENT NITIDES™ IN PATIENTS WITH COMPLEX FEMOROPOPLITEAL ARTERIAL DISEASE- A SINGLE CENTER EXPERIENCE.

Division of Vascular Surgery, 1(st) Surgical Department, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University, Papageorgiou General Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece.
Introduction: Nitides™ (Alvimedica, Istanbul, Turkey) is a novel polymer-free stent, which elutes Amphilimus™; a combination of sirolimus and long chain fatty acids. Aim of this prospective single-center study is to assess the efficacy and 12-months outcomes of patients with femoropopliteal arterial disease, who underwent successful angioplasty with implantation of Amphilimus™-eluting stents Nitides™.
Methods: Patients with peripheral arterial disease who underwent angioplasty of the femoropopliteal segment with DES Nitides™ from August 2021 to February 2024 were included in the study.

This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of preoperative patient education interventions used in vascular surgery and their impact on patient knowledge. Embase, PubMed, and Ovid were searched in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. For inclusion, studies involved an educational intervention for a vascular surgery procedure and patient knowledge was an outcome.

Autologous vein grafting is a common method for revascularization in cases of traumatic limb arterial injuries. However, no clear guidelines have been established regarding the use of tourniquets following vascular reconstruction. We report a case of graft thrombosis that occurred during a planned orthopedic surgery one week after the initial revascularization.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a progressive vascular disease characterized by atherosclerotic narrowing of peripheral arteries, resulting in decreased blood flow to the extremities. Common risk factors for PAD are diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, although it can also occur in patients without these comorbidities, such as in the use of marijuana or alcohol. Recent research suggests that marijuana and alcohol use lead to endothelial dysfunction and vascular inflammation, conditions found in PAD.
