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.

Introduction: Peripheral artery disease, a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis, often necessitates surgical revascularization in advanced stages, with femoropopliteal bypass serving as a primary intervention to restore adequate lower limb perfusion. When autologous vein grafts are not available, prosthetic conduits are commonly used. However, these heterologous materials carry an increased risk of infectious complications, which, although rare, are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality.

We describe a rare venous anatomical variant identified in a 68-year-old male with lung cancer and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Color duplex ultrasonography revealed direct drainage of the popliteal vein into the common femoral vein, with absence of the superficial femoral vein. This previously undescribed variation may have contributed to thrombogenesis in the hypercoagulable setting of malignancy.

Background: Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is a serious condition leading to amputation and mortality.
Patients And Methods: This prospective randomized study included 50 patients with thrombotic ALI treated at 2 hospitals between September 1, 2021, and August 31, 2023. Patients were randomly assigned using a double-blind method into Group A ( = 25), treated with percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT), and Group B ( = 25), receiving catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT).

Objectives: In this study, we analyzed the effect of the application time of intravenous (IV) lornoxicam in preventing postoperative pain.
Methods: This placebo-controlled study was conducted on 72 patients undergoing elective femoropopliteal bypass surgery. The patients were randomly divided into three groups.
