Article Abstract

This case series illustrates the successful use of arterialized venous flaps (AVFs) in digital revascularization. AVFs facilitated tension-free vascular anastomosis and provided soft tissue coverage, allowing preservation of digital length while restoring function. Our findings support the expanding role of AVFs in hand trauma reconstruction and challenge the conventional necessity of bone shortening.

Objectives: The no-touch (NT) technique for saphenous vein (SV) harvesting in coronary artery bypass surgery preserves perivascular tissue and has been proposed to improve vein graft patency compared to conventional (CON) harvesting. However, recent large randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have reported conflicting results. We performed a meta-analysis of all available RCTs comparing graft patency and clinical outcomes between NT-SV and CON-SV harvesting techniques.

From Gut Inflammation to Cardiovascular Conflagration: Mapping IBD's Cardiometabolic Risks.

Curr Atheroscler Rep

September 2025

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Lynda K. and David M. Underwood Center for Digestive Health, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX, USA.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to characterize the known cardiovascular (CV) manifestations associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the underlying mechanisms driving these associations.

Recent Findings: Gut dysbiosis, a hallmark of patients with IBD, can result in both local and systemic inflammation, thereby potentially increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the IBD population. Micronutrient deficiencies, anemia, and sarcopenia independently increase the risk of CVD and are frequent comorbidities of patients with IBD.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of absorbable haemostatic gelatin uterine artery embolisation for symptomatic acquired uterine arterio-venous malformation (UAVM).

Methods: All the adult female patients who had acute urogenital bleeding due to UAVM confirmed on ultrasound and received uterine artery embolisation (UAE) for UAVM in a tertiary institution between January 2000 and October 2024 were included. Patients who had UAE for other causes were excluded.

Vascularization of implanted biomaterials is critical to reconstructive surgery and tissue engineering. Ultimately, the goal is to promote a rapidly perfusable hierarchical microvasculature that persists with time and can meet underlying tissue needs. We have previously shown that using a microsurgical technique, termed micropuncture (MP), in combination with porous granular hydrogel scaffolds (GHS) fabricated via interlinking hydrogel microparticles (microgels) results in a rapidly perfusable patterned microvasculature.

Reconstruction of the calcaneal region presents unique challenges due to its complex anatomy and critical weight-bearing function. This retrospective study aims to report our experience in cases of calcaneal defects repaired with various free flap types, and to evaluate the long-term outcomes of the reconstructions. We retrospectively reviewed 25 patients who underwent microsurgical free flap reconstruction for calcaneal defects between January 1997 and March 2022.
