RESUMO
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia is defined as ischemic rest pain or tissue loss (eg, ulceration/gangrene) that has been present for greater than 2 weeks. Workup includes a careful history, physical examination focused on evaluation of pulses and wounds, lower extremity noninvasive vascular studies (eg, ankle-brachial indices, toe pressures), saphenous vein mapping, and imaging of the lower extremity arterial anatomy (eg, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, or subtraction angiography) if a revascularization intervention is planned.

BACKGROUND: Traumatic injuries affecting the veins in the lower extremities have been correlated with both mortality and severe complications. Venous injuries are recognized as a contributing factor to the development of venous thromboembolism, commonly treated through procedures involving either vein ligation or repair. Despite previous efforts, substantial uncertainty remains when it comes to choosing between the execution of ligation versus various reparative techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term results of surgically treating traumatic venous injuries through repair compared to ligation, specifically examining the resulting impacts on trauma patients in relation to DVT and PE occurrences. METHOD: A comprehensive search strategy was employed until August 10, 2023, to systematically explore Scopus and PubMed databases. Following the removal of duplicates, two researchers independently assessed the titles and abstracts of the identified studies. Only studies meeting the project's requirements and inclusion criteria, as evaluated through their full texts, were included in our investigation. Our study exclusively focused on original articles, specifically those involving human trauma patients with isolated popliteal vein injuries. Excluded from consideration were review articles, meta-analyses, cellular and molecular research, animal studies, case reports, case series, letters to the editor, posters, duplicates, and publications in languages other than English. The implementation of this systematic review and meta-analysis conformed to the standards delineated in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). RESULT: Conducting a thorough search, the inquiry identified 248 records. The assessment of titles and abstracts led to 51 studies that had the potential for eligibility. After reviewing the full texts of the chosen studies, 4 studies involving 1521 patients constituted the ultimate findings. CONCLUSION: We concluded that the ligation procedure had a higher incidence of pulmonary embolism compared to the repair of vein injuries, while the repair procedure had a higher incidence of deep vein thrombosis than ligation. Additional large-scale randomized controlled trials are still necessary to further support the findings of this meta-analysis.

Although robot-assisted surgical procedures using the da Vinci robotic system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) have been performed in more than 13 million procedures worldwide over the last two decades, the vascular surgical community has yet to fully embrace this approach (Intuitive Surgical Investor Presentation Q3 (2023) https://investor.intuitivesurgical.com/static-files/dd0f7e46-db67-4f10-90d9-d826df00554e . Accessed February 22, 2024). In the meantime, endovascular procedures revolutionized vascular care, serving as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. In the pursuit of a percutaneous approach, shorter postoperative hospital stay, and fewer perioperative complications, the long-term durability of open surgical vascular reconstruction has been compromised (in Lancet 365:2179-2186, 2005; Patel in Lancet 388:2366-2374, 2016; Wanhainen in Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg 57:8-93, 2019). The underlying question is whether the robotic-assisted laparoscopic vascular surgical approaches could deliver the robustness and longevity of open vascular surgical reconstruction, but with a minimally invasive delivery system. In the meantime, other surgical specialties have embraced robot-assisted laparoscopic technology and mastered the essential vascular skillsets along with minimally invasive robotic surgery. For example, surgical procedures such as renal transplantation, lung transplantation, and portal vein reconstruction are routinely being performed with robotic assistance that includes major vascular anastomoses (Emerson in J Heart Lung Transplant 43:158-161, 2024; Fei in J Vasc Surg Cases Innov Tech 9, 2023; Tzvetanov in Transplantation 106:479-488, 2022; Slagter in Int J Surg 99, 2022). Handling and dissection of major vascular structures come with the inherent risk of vascular injury, perhaps the most feared complication during such robotic procedures, possibly requiring emergent vascular surgical consultation. In this review article, we describe the impact of a minimally invasive, robotic approach covering the following topics: a brief history of robotic surgery, components and benefits of the robotic system as compared to laparoscopy, current literature on "vascular" applications of the robotic system, evolving training pathways and future perspectives.

The number of victims with damage to the great vessels has increased in recent years due to escalation of armed conflicts. Vascular damages comprise 3% of traumatic injuries in peacetime, and their incidence increases to 15% during hostilities. False aneurysms and traumatic arteriovenous fistulas follow vascular injury in 48.9-68.7% of cases. We present open surgical treatment of traumatic arteriovenous fistulas. The issues of diagnosis, surgical tactics, algorithm of intervention and options for successful treatment are described.

Azygos vein aneurysm is a rare thoracic disease that often mimics posterior mediastinum tumors. Pathogenesis of azygos vein aneurysm is unclear. Discussions about possible causes are still ongoing. Most aneurysms are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally during standard examinations. Severe complications of azygos vein aneurysm include rupture with massive bleeding and pulmonary embolism. Contrast-enhanced chest CT and MRI are essential. Differential diagnosis includes tumors, cysts and rare neoplasms of the mediastinum. Treatment algorithm is not established. There are traditional surgical and endovascular methods. We present minimally invasive surgical treatment of azygos vein aneurysm in a 53-year-old woman. The patient underwent thoracoscopic resection of aneurysm. Histological examination revealed a partially thrombosed azygos vein aneurysm.

Non-iatrogenic trauma of the iliac artery is rarely reported but is always life-threatening. In this report, we describe the case of a child with complete transection and partial disappearance of the iliac artery caused by bicycle handlebar impalement. He experienced catastrophic hemorrhage, malignant arrhythmia, and difficulty in exploring transected vessel stumps. Aggressive infusion, blood transfusion in time, and pediatric vascular characteristics help delay the deterioration during anesthesia induction. Eventually he was successfully rescued by performing interventional balloon occlusion and open revascularization after more than 7 h post-trauma. A series of interventions and precautionary methods may benefit such severely injured patients; thus, these methods should be highlighted.

BACKGROUND: Arterial tortuosity syndrome is a rare Autosomal recessive disease that leads to a loss of function of the connective tissues of the body, this happens due to a mutation in the solute carrier family 2 member 10 (SLC2A10) gene. ATS is more likely to occur in Large and medium-sized arteries including the aorta and pulmonary arteries. This syndrome causes the arteries to be elongated and tortuous, This tortuosity disturbs the blood circulation resulting in stenosis and lack of blood flow to organs and this chronic turbulent flow increases the risk of aneurysm development, dissection and ischemic events. CASE PRESENTATION: A 2 years old Arabian female child was diagnosed with ATS affecting the pulmonary arteries as a newborn, underwent a pulmonary arterial surgical reconstruction at the age of 2 years old due to the development of pulmonary artery stenosis with left pulmonary artery having a peak gradient of 73 mmHg with a peak velocity of 4.3 m/s and the right pulmonary artery having a peak gradient of 46 mmHg with a peak velocity of 3.4 m/s causing right ventricular hypertension. After surgical repair the left pulmonary artery has a peak pressure gradient of 20 mmHg, with the right pulmonary artery having a peak pressure gradient of 20 mmHg. CONCLUSION: ATS is a rare genetic condition that affects the great arteries especially the pulmonary arteries causing stenotic and tortuous vessels that may be central branches or distal peripheral branches that leads to severe right ventricular dysfunction and hypertension. We believe that surgical treatment provides the optimum outcomes when compared to transcather approaches especially when the peripheral arteries are involved. Some challenges and hiccups might occur, especially lung reperfusion injury that needs to be diagnosed and treated accordingly.

The following video tutorial presents the surgical correction of the left circumflex aortic arch in a 6-month-old boy with severe respiratory distress and stridor. The diagnosis was confirmed using cardiac catheterization and computed tomography. Intraoperative bronchoscopy showed marked compression of the trachea. An operation was planned to translocate the aortic arch anteriorly and to close the atrial septal defect. After a median sternotomy, the mediastinal structures were carefully mobilized and dissected. The trachea was carefully mobilized and the right ligamentum arteriosum was clipped and divided. Control of the aortic arch vessels, as well as the aberrant right subclavian artery from the right descending aorta, was achieved using vessel loops. An arterial line inserted in the femoral artery was connected to the heart-lung machine. Hence the surgical procedure was undertaken in selective antegrade cerebral perfusion combined with distal body perfusion, avoiding the need for deep hypothermic arrest. Careful mobilization of the complete course of the proximal and distal sections of the circumflex arch allowed its translocation from its retro-oesophageal course. The aortic stump distal to the left subclavian artery was closed by running polypropylene suture. An appropriate site on the ascending aorta was selected to ensure tension- and torsion-free anastomoses. Postoperative bronchoscopy confirmed relief of the tracheal compression.

PURPOSE: Radical resection of retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RLPS) may necessitate vascular resection and reconstruction. The study was conducted to assess surgical outcomes of surgery for RLPS with major vascular involvement. METHODS: Patients with RLPS who underwent surgical resection at the Sarcoma Center of Peking University Cancer Hospital between April 2011 and December 2022 were identified from a prospectively maintained database. Patients were classified into two groups: vascular resection and non-vascular resection groups. A propensity score matching analysis was performed to eliminate baseline differences between the groups. Surgical details and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. Furthermore, prognostic factors for local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed. RESULTS: Overall, 199 patients were identified and the median follow-up period was 48 (interquartile range [IQR] 45-69) months. Vascular resection was performed in 42 (21%) patients, 25 of whom had vascular infiltration. A total of 39 patients had vascular replacement and 3 patients underwent partial resection (side-wall resection). Vascular resection was burdened by higher rates of major morbidity (38% vs. 14%, p < 0.001) and 30-day mortality (7.1% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.005). After propensity-matched analysis, patients who underwent vascular resection had 5-year LRFS and OS rates comparable to those without vascular involvement. Major vascular resection was not an independent risk factor for LRFS or OS. CONCLUSIONS: Although accompanied by increased risks of major morbidity and mortality, the major vascular resection enabled radical resection in patients with advanced RLPS, affording comparable 5-year LRFS and OS rates compared to those who did not.

INTRODUCTION: The Symani surgical system undergoes scrutiny in this study as part of a series of preclinical investigations. Previous studies compared the precision of robotic-assisted anastomoses with manual techniques. This study aimed to evaluate the critical, histological, and gross parameters at the site of anastomosis and at distant sites in a rat model to provide insights into the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted microsurgery to enhance its potential for clinical adoption. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Experienced microsurgeons performed arterial and venous anastomoses in 16 Wistar rats, randomized into four treatment groups: robotic artery, robotic vein, manual artery, and manual vein. Various parameters were evaluated at two time points (T0 and T30) on the day of the procedure and at Day 28 (T28d). In the second phase of the study, the animals underwent necropsy, histopathologic analysis, micro-CT scans, and angiography imaging of the anastomosis sites, major organs, and distant target organs by a blinded assessor. RESULTS: Patency rates were 100% at T0 and T30 for all anastomoses and stayed at 100% on T28d for the robotic subgroups; however, it decreased to 87.5% for manual arterial anastomoses owing to a case of obstructive thrombus. No evidence of clot migration was observed. Blood flow parameters and procedure times did not differ significantly. The blinded semiquantitative histological analysis revealed no significant disparities between the robotic and manual anastomoses across various pathological indicators. No gross abnormalities were detected in musculoskeletal examinations. CONCLUSION: This preclinical study demonstrated the safety of the Symani surgical system. Results suggest equivalence between robotic and manual techniques regarding thrombus formation at the anastomotic site and distal organs.

BACKGROUND: Supermicrosurgery demands more refined skills compared to traditional microsurgery, necessitating comprehensive training prior to clinical implementation. Despite the existence of various training models, they often fall short in terms of cost, ethical considerations, and infection risk. Our objective was to develop and evaluate novel training models for supermicrosurgery that are cost-effective, ethical, and risk-free. METHODS: We fabricated tubes using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) liquid glue, polyvinyl acetate resin (PAR) wood glue, and hydrocolloid dressing (HCD), aiming to identify suitable, low-cost candidates for a supermicrosurgery training model. These tubes were anastomosed under a microscope using 10-0 or 11-0 nylon sutures. We assessed the time and cost involved in tube fabrication, their diameters, and the overall feasibility of the models. RESULTS: The average time and cost to fabricate a 15-mm-long luminal tube were 33.5 min and 0.02 USD for the PVA group, 23 min and 0.02 USD for the PAR group, and 63 s and 0.40 USD for the HCD group, respectively. The average diameter of the tubes was 0.49, 0.58, and 1.55 mm in the PVA, PAR, and HCD groups, respectively. The PVA and PAR tubes, with their transparent and thin walls, facilitated easier evaluation of anastomosis patency compared to the HCD tubes. CONCLUSION: We successfully used non-living materials to develop new supermicrosurgery training models, characterized by their low cost, absence of ethical concerns, and elimination of infection risk. The PAR and PVA tubes, in particular, are suitable for resident training in supermicrosurgery.

BACKGROUND: Acute mesenteric ischemia is rare, and few large-scale trials have evaluated endovascular therapy (EVT) and open surgical revascularization (OS). This study aimed to assess clinical outcomes after EVT or OS for acute superior mesenteric artery occlusion and identify predictors of mortality and bowel resection. METHODS AND RESULTS: Data from the Japanese Registry of All Cardiac and Vascular Diseases-Diagnosis Procedure Combination (JROAD-DPC) database from April 2012 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Overall, 746 patients with acute superior mesenteric artery occlusion who underwent revascularization were classified into 2 groups: EVT (n=475) or OS (n=271). The primary clinical outcome was in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcomes were bowel resection, bleeding complications (transfusion or endoscopic hemostasis), major adverse cardiovascular events, hospitalization duration, and cost. The in-hospital death or bowel resection rate was ≈30%. In-hospital mortality (22.5% versus 21.4%, P=0.72), bowel resection (8.2% versus 8.5%, P=0.90), and major adverse cardiovascular events (11.6% versus 9.2%, P=0.32) were comparable between the EVT and OS groups. Hospitalization duration in the EVT group was 6 days shorter than that in the OS group, and total hospitalization cost was 0.88 million yen lower. Interaction analyses revealed that EVT and OS had no significant difference in terms of in-hospital death in patients with thromboembolic and atherothrombotic characteristics. Advanced age, decreased activities of daily living, chronic kidney disease, and old myocardial infarction were significant predictive factors for in-hospital mortality. Diabetes was a predictor of bowel resection after revascularization. CONCLUSIONS: EVT was comparable to OS in terms of clinical outcomes in patients with acute superior mesenteric artery occlusion. Some predictive factors for mortality or bowel resection were obtained. REGISTRATION: URL: www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/; Unique Identifier: UMIN000045240.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In retrospective studies, wound healing and leg salvage have been better if revascularization is targeted to the crural artery supplying arterial flow to the wound angiosome. No data exist on how revascularization changes the blood flow in foot angiosomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in perfusion after infrapopliteal artery revascularization in all foot angiosomes and to compare directly revascularized (DR) angiosomes to the indirectly revascularized (IR) angiosomes. METHODS: In this prospective study, foot perfusion was measured with indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) before and after either surgical or endovascular below-knee revascularization. According to angiograms, we divided the foot angiosomes into DR and IR angiosomes. Furthermore, in a subanalysis, the IR angiosomes were graded as IR_Coll+ angiosomes if there were strong collaterals arising from the artery which was revascularized, and as IR_Coll- angiosomes if strong collaterals were not seen. RESULTS: A total of 72 feet (28 bypass, 44 endovascular revascularizations) and 282 angiosomes were analyzed. Surgical and endovascular revascularization increased perfusion significantly in both DR and IR angiosomes. After bypass surgery, the increase in DR angiosomes was 55 U and 53 U in IR angiosomes; there were no significant difference in the perfusion increase between IR and DR angiosomes. After endovascular revascularization, perfusion increased significantly more, 40 U, in DR angiosomes compared to 26 U in IR angiosomes (p < 0.05). In the subanalysis of IR angiosomes, perfusion increased significantly after surgical bypass regardless of whether strong collaterals were present or not. After endovascular revascularization, however, a significant perfusion increase was noted in the IR_Coll+ but not in the IR_Coll- subgroup. CONCLUSION: Open revascularization increased perfusion equally in DR and IR angiosomes, whereas endovascular revascularization increased perfusion significantly more in DR than in IR angiosomes. Strong collateral network may help increase perfusion in IR angiosomes.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is becoming favored for all pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Patients with seemingly resectable disease infrequently still display vascular involvement intraoperatively. Outcomes following NAC versus upfront surgery in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with vascular resection are unknown. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study of PDAC patients who underwent PD with vascular resection between January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2020, within a single academic center. Clinicopathologic characteristics and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between NAC versus upfront surgery cohorts using the Kaplan-Meier estimate and Cox proportional-hazards regression model. RESULTS: Eighty-one patients who underwent PD with vascular resection for PDAC were included. Forty-six patients (56%) received NAC. The NAC cohort more often had pathologic N0 status (47.8% vs. 8.6%, p < 0.001), had decreased vascular invasion (11% vs. 40%, p = 0.002), and completed chemotherapy (80% vs. 40%, p < 0.01). The NAC cohort demonstrated improved DFS (40.5 vs. 14.3 months, p = 0.007). In multivariable analysis, NAC remained independently associated with increased DFS (HR = 0.48, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: NAC was associated with improved clinicopathologic outcomes and DFS in PD with vascular resection. These findings demonstrate the advantage of NAC in PDAC patients undergoing PD with vascular resection.

OBJECTIVE: General anesthesia (GA) may impair outcome after vascular surgery. The use of anticoagulant medication is often used in patients with cardiac comorbidity. Regional anesthesia (RA) requires planning of discontinuation before neuraxial blockade(s) in this subgroup. This study aimed to describe the effect of anesthesia choice on outcome after vascular surgery in patients with known cardiac comorbidity. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Danish hospitals. PARTICIPANTS: 6302 patients with known cardiac comorbidity, defined as ischemic heart disease, valve disease, pulmonary vascular disease, heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias, undergoing lower extremity vascular surgery between 2005 and 2017. INTERVENTIONS: GA versus RA. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Data were extracted from national registries. GA was defined as anesthesia with mechanical ventilation. Multivariable regression models were used to describe the incidence of postoperative complications as well as 30-day mortality, hypothesizing that better outcomes would be seen after RA. The rate of RA decreased from 48% in 2005 to 20% in 2017. The number of patients with 1 or more complications was 9.7% vs 6.2% (p < 0.001), and 30-day mortality was 6.0% vs 3.4% (p < 0.001) after GA. After adjusting for baseline differences, the odds ratio (OR) was significantly lower for medical complications (cardiac, pulmonary, renal, new dialysis, intensive care unit and other medical complications; OR, 0.97; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.95-0.98) and 30-day mortality (OR 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97-0.99) after RA. CONCLUSIONS: RA may be associated with a better outcome than GA after lower extremity vascular surgery in patients with a cardiac comorbidity. Prioritizing RA, despite the inconvenience of discontinuing anticoagulants, may be recommended.
