Article Abstract

Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) interventions aim to improve patient outcomes. Vascular surgery patients have unique requirements and it is unclear which ERAS interventions are supported by an evidence base.

Methods: We conducted a scoping review to identify ERAS randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the biomedical or nursing literature. We assessed interventions for applicability to vascular surgery and differentiated interventions given at preadmission, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative surgery stages. We documented the research in an evidence map.

Results: We identified 76 relevant RCTs. Interventions were mostly administered in preoperative (23 RCTs; 30%) or intraoperative surgery stages (35 RCTs; 46%). The majority of studies reported mortality outcomes (44 RCTs; 58%), but hospital (27 RCTs; 35%) and intensive care unit (9 RCTs; 12%) length of stay outcomes were less consistently described.

Conclusion: The ERAS evidence base is growing but contains gaps. Research on preadmission interventions and more consistent reporting of key outcomes is needed.

Background: Lower extremity arterial disease is a prevalent vascular condition leading to ischemic symptoms and increased risk of cardiovascular events. Drug-eluting stents have improved outcomes by reducing restenosis, with sirolimus emerging as a promising alternative to paclitaxel due to its safer profile. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of novel polymer-free Amphilimus formulation (Sirolimus + fatty acid) eluting self-expanding stent in the treatment of femoropopliteal disease in a real-world population.

Introduction: Epigenetic changes are important modulators of gene expression. The histone acetyltransferase gene non-derepressible 5 (Gcn5) is emerging as a pivotal epigenetic player in metabolism and cancer, yet its role in obesity and cardiovascular disease remains elusive.

Aims: To investigate Gcn5 role in obesity-related endothelial dysfunction.

Purpose: Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most aggressive primary brain tumors with poor survival outcomes and a lack of approved therapies. A promising novel approach for GBM is the application of photodynamic therapy (PDT), a localized, light-activated treatment using tumor-selective photosensitizers. This narrative review describes the mechanisms, delivery systems, photosensitizers, and available evidence regarding the potential of PDT as a novel therapeutic approach for GBM.

Intracranial venous pressures and endovascular outcomes in pediatric patients with cerebral venous sinus stenosis.

Childs Nerv Syst

September 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Children's of Alabama, 1600 7TH Avenue South, Lowder 400, Birmingham, AL, 35233, USA.

Purpose: Diagnostic cerebral venograms are the gold standard for evaluating cerebral venous sinus stenosis (CVSS). Venous sinus stenting (VSS) and less commonly venous sinus angioplasty are emerging endovascular treatments in pediatric patients. This study examines the baseline intracranial venous pressures and postoperative endovascular outcomes in pediatric patients with CVSS.
