Objective: Infective native aneurysms of the femoropopliteal arteries (INA-FPs) are rare and mostly reported in intravenous drug users (IVDU). This study aimed to summarize all cases of INA-FPs presented in the literature, to describe patient characteristics, microbiology, treatments and outcomes, and compare IVDU with non-IVDU patients.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase and the Cochrane Library was done for studies published between 1990 and July 2024.

Objective: Combat-related vascular injuries account for up to 12% of trauma cases, with peripheral vessel injuries being the most prevalent among casualties. The ongoing military conflict in the Middle East has led to the widespread use of explosive devices and missiles, resulting in a high incidence of peripheral vascular trauma.
Methods: This study presents a retrospective single-center analysis of all patients with peripheral vascular trauma admitted to our facility between October 2023 and November 2024.
