Stent-graft placement for an axillosubclavian artery injury in a pediatric patient: A case report

Axillosubclavian artery injury is a rare traumatic vascular injury associated with a high mortality rate. Therefore, rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment selection are critical for patient survival. Although endovascular stent-graft placement has emerged as a less invasive a...

Physician-modified fenestrated/inner-branched endovascular aortic repair for distal aortic arch aneurysm after stent graft migration: a case report

Abstract Backgrounds Open surgical repair remains the gold standard for aortic arch aneurysms, and endovascular treatment options are limited in high-risk patients. We report successful treatment of a distal aortic arch aneurysm using physician-modified fenestrated/inner-branched...

Association Between Preoperative Gluteal Muscle Quality on CT and Buttock Claudication After EVAR With Internal Iliac Artery Embolization

Objective: Internal iliac artery (IIA) embolization is frequently performed during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) to secure an adequate distal sealing zone or to treat iliac artery aneurysms; however, it may result in postoperative buttock claudication. This study investigat...

Comparative in vivo evaluation of colistin resistance determinants in Escherichia coli clone ST131

Background Colistin is a last-resort antimicrobial for multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative infections. Health risks associated with colistin resistance are commonly inferred from resistance phenotypes, despite limited in vivo evidence linking resistance determinants to pathog...
