To evaluate the safety and efficacy of coil embolization venous segments in patients with Type IIa pelvic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). A retrospective study was performed on 13 (median age, 43 years, range 20-62 7 males) who underwent transvenous for AVM (characterized by multiple arterioles shunting to focal a single draining vein) without use additional liquid embolic agents from March 2017 February 2023. Treatment outcomes were analyzed based clinical evaluations, post angiography...

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a severe manifestation of peripheral arterial disease, often resulting in ischemic rest pain, non-healing ulcers, or gangrene. Due to the limited effectiveness conventional revascularization techniques 5%∼20% patients, alternative therapeutic approaches are needed. This Phase 1/2a clinical trial evaluated safety, tolerability, and efficacy allogeneic adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell clusters (ADMSCCs) patients with CLI who were not eligible for...

Half of patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) are ineligible for revascularization at diagnosis. The aim this study was to assess the safety and feasibility intramuscular human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cell (hUCB-MSC) therapy in CLI due atherosclerosis obliterans (ASO) or thromboangiitis (TAO).A total eight (all male, median age 52 years, range 31∼77) were enrolled phase I trial. All considered further improve CLI. We injected 1×10(7) hUCB-MSCs per single dose...

Type 2 endoleaks (T2EL) are the most common form of after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Several studies on feasibility embolization using ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx, Medtronic) for T2EL have been reported. The purpose this study was to compare coil and Onyx treatment EVAR.

Purpose: Infrainguinalfemoropopliteal bypass (IFPB) is recommended to peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with a long occlusion of the superficial femoral artery (SFA).The aims our study were determine patency graft materials, and identify risk factors failure.Methods: From January 1995 April 2011, we had performed 380 IFPBs in 351 patients, including 302 femoro-above knee (AK) bypasses 78 femoro-below (BK) bypasses.We compare age, sex, severity ischemia between polytetra-uoroethylene (PTFE)...

Most outcome studies of bypass surgery are limited to five years follow-up. However, as human life expectancy has increased, analyses more long-term outcomes needed. The aim this study is evaluate 10-year anatomical bypasses in aortoiliac occlusive disease.From 1996 2009, 92 patients (82 males and 10 females) underwent aortic treat disease at Samsung Medical Center. were reviewed retrospectively. Kaplan-Meier survival performed using PASW ver. 18.0 (IBM Co).A total 72 (78.3%) aorto-femoral...

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) is a medical emergency that can lead to venous gangrene of the lower extremity. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment crucial for limb salvage. There are two options (endovascular or surgical). In endovascular era, catheter-directed thrombolysis choice achieve outflow. However, surgical thrombectomy indicated in certain cases. The authors report successful 75-year-old man with PCD review PCD.

Purpose:The aim of this study was to assess renal or abdominal visceral complications after open aortic surgery (OAS) requiring supra-renal cross clamping (SRACC).Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records 66 patients who underwent SRACC.Among them, 17 followed supra-celiac (SCACC) procedure, 42 supra-renal, and 7 inter-renal aorta.Postoperative renal, hepatic pancreatic were investigated by reviewing levels serum creatinine enzymes.Preoperative clinical operative variables...

This study aimed to evaluate peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and totally implanted venous access devices (TIVADs) as chemotherapy delivery routes. From May 2016 April 2019, patients with malignancies who had PICCs or TIVADs for were enrolled. We reviewed the patients' medical records information concerning demographics, comorbidities, catheter-related complications, catheter -service days. All included in both groups also assessed complication-free survival completion rates...

Abstract Background The present study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that outer wall at carotid bifurcation is most common area of atherosclerotic plaque deposition due low shear stress. Hypothesis We hypothesized site arteriosclerosis in arteries different early and late stages. Methods This an observational patients with <50% stenosis internal (ICAs) identified by Duplex ultrasound our health promotion center. Plaque location categorized as a quarter cross‐section distal...

Median arcuate ligament syndrome is a rare cause of abdominal pain which results from compression the celiac artery (CA) or rarely, superior mesenteric by formed right and left crura diaphragm. We report case open surgical decompression CA division median for 37-year-old female patient who had suffered chronic postprandial epigastric severe weight loss. described clinical features, characteristic angiographic findings details procedure with this vascular problem.

Exposure to ionizing radiation over the head and neck accelerates atherosclerotic changes in carotid arteries. Owing characteristics of radiation-induced stenosis (RICS), results regarding optimal revascularization method for RICS vary. This study compared treatment outcomes between endarterectomy (CEA) artery stenting (CAS) RICS.This was a single-center retrospective review consecutive patients who underwent CEA or CAS stenosis. defined as (>50%) with prior irradiation cancer on either...

Adventitial cystic disease (ACD) affecting veins is a very rare condition. We report two cases of ACD in female patients aged 50 and 32 years who underwent surgical excision. Venous presents with deep venous thrombosis (DVT)-mimic symptoms resulting from compression by the mass. Optimal treatment complete removal wall its contents; however, recurrent are often reported because recurrence

Purpose:We attempted to determine risk factors for the development of failing vein graft and optimal treatment in patients with infrainguinal grafts.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a database who underwent bypass using autogenous grafts due chronic atherosclerotic arterial occlusive disease lower extremity (LE) at single institute between September 2003 December 2011.After reviewing demographic, clinical, angiographic features grafts, we analyzed those variables grafts.To an compared...

Objectives To validate the accuracy of high-risk criteria for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and analyze correlation between age outcome CEA artery stenting (CAS) in risk groups. Methods We reviewed a prospectively managed vascular surgery database single tertiary referral center, 2482 internal arteries (ICAs) had undergone revascularization from November 1994 to December 2021. CEA, patients were classified as high (Hr) normal (Nr). Subgroup analysis was performed with older or younger than 75...

We assessed the utility of a 3-grade classification photoplethysmography (PPG) with cold water provocation test in Raynaud phenomenon (RP). A total 35 patients RP and 38 healthy volunteers were recruited. In volunteers, PPG was measured twice at intervals 30 minutes for evaluating reproducibility test. Percentage variation amplitude post- versus precold expressed on scale 1, 3, 5 (reflection index: RI) RP. The improvement pattern (IPPPG) evaluated by summing score differences from RI1 min to...
