Article Abstract

Background/aims: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of vascular exclusion by preserving tumor-contralateral branch of hepatic artery in hepatectomy in treatment liver cancer with cirrhosis.

Methodology: The clinical data of 10 cases treated with hepatectomy for liver cancer were analyzed retrospectively. Vascular exclusion by preserving tumor-contralateral branch of hepatic artery was applied to control bleeding. Blood loss, operative time and postoperative hepatic function were observed.

Results: The average blood loss was 515mL, the operative time was 191 minutes and the mean time of exclusion was 30.20 minutes. There is no significant difference between hepatic function (serum total bilirubin, alanine transaminase) of postoperative day 7 and that of pre-operation.

Conclusions: Vascular exclusion by preserving tumor-contralateral branch of hepatic artery could effectively control bleeding and preserve hepatic function and is proved to be applicable to patients of liver cancer with cirrhosis.

Introduction: Primary central nervous system vasculitis (primary CNS vasculitis) is a rare inflammatory disorder that affects small-to-medium-sized cerebral vessels, often leading to recurrent strokes. Diagnosis is vague due to non-specific neurological symptoms. Imaging findings, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis and exclusion of systemic vasculitis are essential for diagnosis.

Aim: To describe the percentage of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) cases in the Maspalomas Basic Health Zone among males aged 65 to 75 years who are current or former smokers. Our secondary objectives were to define the distribution of known risk factors for AAA development in our sample and to facilitate early referral to the appropriate vascular surgery service. We also aim to describe the percentage of subaneurysm cases, offering ultrasound follow-up at our center.

Open revascularization for infrainguinal peripheral arterial disease in elderly patients: A scoping review.

Semin Vasc Surg

September 2025

Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Northwell Health, Manhasset, NY; Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra, Hempstead, NY. Electronic address:

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a prevalent and debilitating condition in elderly patients, often leading to critical limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) and major amputations. While endovascular interventions are usually preferred for their lower perioperative risk, open surgical revascularization should also be considered due to its durability and superior patency in complex disease patterns. Age alone does not determine suitability for surgery; rather, candidacy hinges on frailty, functional status, comorbidities, and anatomical considerations.

Background: Primary liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), poses significant clinical challenges due to late-stage diagnosis, tumor heterogeneity, and rapidly evolving therapeutic strategies. While systematic reviews and meta-analyses are essential for updating clinical guidelines, their labor-intensive nature limits timely evidence synthesis.

Objective: This study proposes an automated literature screening workflow powered by large language models (LLMs) to accelerate evidence synthesis for HCC treatment guidelines.

Introduction: Current commercial cerebral oximeters only monitor the frontal lobes, however, some cerebrovascular territories may experience ischemia while others remain well perfused. This pilot study used a novel, high-density, dual-wavelength, time-resolved functional cerebral oximeter (Kernel Flow) with 2000 channels to assess the regional differences of cerebral oxygenation (StO2) in response to hypotension across different vascular territories during shoulder surgery in the beach chair position.

Methods: Twenty-seven adult patients were monitored, recording blood pressure, heart rate, regional cerebral oxygen saturation, and other vital parameters.
