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.

Widespread fragmentation shells in combat operations with frequent multiple damage to organs and systems force to use all available diagnostic methods for treating severe injuries including lesion of great vessels of extremities. One of the consequences of these lesions is arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The last one may be asymptomatic at first.

Objective: To analyze and improve postoperative outcomes in patients with acute lower limb ischemia (ALLI) and previous reconstructive infrainguinal interventions.

Material And Methods: The authors analyzed postoperative outcomes after 54 repeated interventions in patients with thrombosis of common femoral artery bifurcation, deep femoral artery and non-functioning femoropopliteal (tibial) prosthesis.

Results: External-iliac-deep femoral replacement were performed in 28 (52%) patients, extended deep femoral artery repair - in 16 (29.

Objective: To compare 6- and 12-month results of femoral artery repair with xenopericardial and autologous venous patch in hybrid treatment of critical lower limb ischemia.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis included 60 patients with critical lower limb ischemia who underwent hybrid treatment (balloon angioplasty and stenting of iliac arteries and open reconstruction of femoral arteries). Patients were divided into 2 groups by 30 people depending on femoral artery repair (group 1 - autologous venous patch, group 2 - xenopericardial patch).

Acute extremity compartment syndrome (CS) is a serious medical complication triggered by factors such as trauma, vascular injury, or prolonged compression, resulting in elevated intracompartmental pressure (ICP) and tissue ischemia. Diagnosis remains challenging, mainly relying on the subjective evaluation of clinical symptoms. Different animal models have been used to study pathophysiology and evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
