Article Abstract

Objective: Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a cardiovascular emergency with high mortality and morbidity. We compared the effects on outcomes of single arterial cannulation (SAC) via axillary, femoral, or ascending aorta with double arterial cannulation (DAC) via axillary and femoral artery during ATAAD repair.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies from PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, and Cochrane searches through April 30, 2024. Dichotomous data were pooled using risk ratio (RR), and continuous data were pooled using mean difference (MD), both with a 95% confidence interval (CI), using R version 4.3. The protocol is registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024535644).

Results: Our analysis included 7 studies encompassing 3,534 patients. DAC was associated with a significantly longer intensive care unit stay than SAC (MD 0.45 days, 95% CI 0.10, 0.79, p = 0.01). However, there was no significant difference between DAC and SAC in the length of hospital stay (MD 1.39 days, 95% CI -2.70, 5.47, p = 0.51). Also, there was no significant difference between the two approaches in the incidence of stroke (RR 1.12, 95% CI 0.77, 1.64, p = 0.55), paraplegia (RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.32, 1.07, p = 0.08), or acute kidney injury (RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.55, 1.24, p = 1.24).

Conclusion: Our meta-analysis shows that during ATAAD repair, DAC was associated with slightly longer intensive care stay, which was of doubtful clinical significance. However, both approaches were comparable for hospital stay, the incidence of stroke, paraplegia, or acute kidney injury.

Implications For Clinical Practice: Despite comparable overall outcomes, we observed that DAC was associated with higher risks of requiring continuous renal replacement therapy or dialysis, and reintubation. This emphasizes the need to carefully consider cannulation strategies based on patient factors to balance potential benefits and risks.

Antisynthetase syndrome(ASS) is an entity among the immune inflammatory myopathies(IIM), which always affects lungs. Interstitial lung disease(ILD) is common in ASS, while pulmonary hypertention(PH)is rarely observed. In this paper, we reported a case of ASS with ILD and PH.

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.

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).

Background: Arterial catheterisation is a critical procedure in paediatric patients undergoing surgery; however, it poses certain risks. Complications such as thrombus formation, arterial stenosis and haematoma may occur, yet their true incidence and contributing factors remain incompletely understood.

Objective: To assess the incidence of complications and identify associated risk factors following radial arterial catheterisation in paediatric patients.
