Objective: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) and osteoporosis are common age-related conditions that may share underlying mechanisms such as inflammation and lipid dysregulation. Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has been suggested as a potential contributor to both processes. This study aims to investigate the relationship between CAC, bone mineral density (BMD), and Lp(a) levels in a statin-naive elderly population.

A 47-year-old patient was emergently placed onto venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation on postoperative day 1 after coronary artery bypass surgery for refractory ventricular tachycardic arrest. The patient subsequently lost pulses in the right lower extremity and was too unstable to be transported for a computed tomography scan or to the hybrid operating room for an angiogram. Bedside administration of contrast via the perfusion sheaths with concurrent portable radiograph allowed for imaging of the right lower extremity vasculature to assess for patency.

The Arc of Buhler (AOB) is a rare embryological vascular remnant that forms a persistent arterial connection between the superior mesenteric artery and the celiac artery. Although typically asymptomatic, it assumes clinical importance in the presence of celiac artery stenosis by serving as a key collateral route. Aneurysms arising from the AOB are uncommon but carry a significant risk of rupture.

Background: Instep arterialized venous flaps (iAVF) are suitable for reconstructing soft tissue defects of the hand while concurrently fulfilling aesthetic requirements. However, iAVF still face challenges such as unstable survival rates and swelling. Thus, this study aimed to propose a new strategy for iAVF, namely a modified shunt-restricted iAVF, for the reconstruction of hand defects.
