Article Abstract
Background: The lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) is a short branch of the deep femoral artery, considered an important vessel in numerous reconstructive and revascularization surgical procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the topographic and morphometric features of the LCFA and its descending branch.
Materials And Methods: Abdominal and pelvic computed tomography angiography data from 75 consecutive patients were analyzed. A total of 136 arteries were classified for the study and investigated in 17 categories, including morphometric (diameter, length) and topographical (origin pattern, relation to anatomically significant landmarks) parameters.
Results: The most prevalent artery of origin of the LCFA was found to be the deep femoral artery (76.5%). The median diameter of the LFCA at its origin was found to be 5.28 mm (LQ = 4.57; HQ = 6.28). The median cross-sectional area of the LCFA at its origin was set to be 17.63 mm² (LQ = 13.39; HQ = 23.26).
Conclusions: The study results confirm the morphometric and topographical variability of both the LCFA and its descending branch. Additionally, our study presented significant data regarding the spatial relationship between these vessels and nearby landmarks, such as the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic symphysis. The obtained data may be used as a source of knowledge for surgeons performing penile revascularizations and reconstructive procedures.

Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common and serious complication of diabetes, often leading to infection, amputation and poor quality of life. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have shown promise in treating chronic wounds, but their therapeutic efficacy is limited due to poor survival and low regenerative activity. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIUS), a non-invasive physical modality, has been shown to enhance the biological behavior of BMSCs.

Background: The hemodynamic effects of femoro-femoral venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) remain poorly defined. High ECMO flow is believed to increase PCWP and the risk of pulmonary edema; yet, supporting in vivo physiological data are lacking.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of incremental femoro-femoral VA-ECMO flow variations on PCWP, hemodynamic, and echocardiographic parameters in patients with cardiogenic shock during the early phase of VA-ECMO support, after stabilization.
3-Year Outcomes of Drug-Eluting Stent vs Drug-Coated Balloon for Femoropopliteal Artery Lesions: Propensity Score-Matched Real-World Study.

Background: Long-term comparative data on drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-coated balloons (DCB) for femoropopliteal artery (FPA) disease remain limited.
Objectives: The authors sought to compare 3-year outcomes of DES vs DCB without bailout stenting in FPA disease.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1,406 patients from a multicenter registry who underwent endovascular therapy for FPA using DES (n = 342) or DCB (n = 1,064) after the successful lesion preparation.

Introduction: Nitides™ (Alvimedica, Istanbul, Turkey) is a novel polymer-free stent, which elutes Amphilimus™; a combination of sirolimus and long chain fatty acids. Aim of this prospective single-center study is to assess the efficacy and 12-months outcomes of patients with femoropopliteal arterial disease, who underwent successful angioplasty with implantation of Amphilimus™-eluting stents Nitides™.
Methods: Patients with peripheral arterial disease who underwent angioplasty of the femoropopliteal segment with DES Nitides™ from August 2021 to February 2024 were included in the study.
Plug-based vascular closure device in transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Objectives: Failure of vascular closure device (VCD) is the most common cause of access-site vascular complications in transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The authors sought to determine if the systematic use of arteriotomy-site ballooning with concomitant manual compression following the delivery of a plug-based VCD (MANTA, Teleflex) can optimize toggle-plug assembly apposition to the common femoral artery (CFA) wall and improve the final hemostatic efficacy.
Methods: In this prospective, observational, single-center study, 323 consecutive patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI from October 2021 to December 2024 underwent access closure with the MANTA VCD.
