Background: The ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is the primary procedure during surgeries of the left colon, sigmoid colon, and rectal cancer. Despite the ongoing debate on high or low ligation of the IMA, high ligation (HL) is now preferred by most of the surgeons. However, there is still a lack of consistency in the exact position of HL among surgical videos or introductions presented by different teams, causing confusion to new learners. The fascia-oriented dissection could help to clarify this issue.
Results: This video shows two definite levels of HL, the supra-nerve HL and the infra-nerve HL based on three biological fasciae around the root of the IMA, with priority given to fascia-oriented dissection, HL of the IMA could be performed safely and efficiently, even in cases with enlarged para-IMA nodes.
Conclusions: It is feasible to adopt the fascial space priority approach for HL of the IMA, and this approach is suitable for patients with enlarged para-IMA lymph nodes.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: YangXue QingNao Wan (YXQN) is a compound Chinese medicine comprising of 11 traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, including Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, and Paeonia lactiflora, etc. Previous studies in our laboratory have demonstrated that YXQN improved cerebral microcirculation in hypertensive rats. However, its efficacy and underlying mechanisms in treating vascular dementia (VaD) remain unclear.

Introduction: High tie ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is the standard technique in oncological low anterior rectal resection. However, high tie may reduce blood flow to the colon, impairing distal tissue perfusion, anastomotic healing, and potentially causing necrosis. Therefore, a modified high tie technique (MoHiTi) was developed that preserves the arterial arc from the left colic artery via the proximal IMA to the first sigmoidal branch.

Objectives: As a two-dimensional modality, venography has limitations in its capacity to measure lumen caliber and to assess stenotic disease accurately. This has implications in the management of end-stage renal-disease (ESRD) patients "no-option" candidates access for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) or graft (AVG) creation secondary to high risk of vascular access failure. The incremental diagnostic and clinical impact of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was quantified in this tunneled dialysis catheter dependent ESRD cohort.

Objective: Assess results of simultaneous ligation and embolization for caverno-venous leakage (CVL) in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) resistant to 5-Phosphodiesterase inhibitors.
Patients And Methods: Data from consecutive patients with ED operated-on for CVL, were collected prospectively. CVLs were diagnosed by Pharmacologicaly-Challenged Penile Duplex Sonography (PC-PDS) and computed tomography cavernosography.
