Mapping the lingual artery: a scoping review and proposed imaging-informed risk classification for surgical and radiological practice

The lingual artery (LA) shows significant morphological and topographical variation that can affect the safety and results of head and neck surgeries, carotid interventions, and free flap reconstructions. Traditional descriptions such as the thyrolingual trunk (TLT), linguofacial...

Baseline Descending Aortic Diameter Drives Long-Term Failure of Conservative Management in Uncomplicated Type B Aortic Dissection.

Objective Failure of conservative management in patients with initially uncomplicated acute type B aortic dissection (TBAAD) remains clinically relevant. This study evaluated whether commonly cited imaging-based morphologic features are associated with long-term failure of conser...

Disparity in Clinical Presentation and Utilization of Atherectomy for Peripheral Arterial Disease: An Analysis of the OEIS National Registry

BACKGROUND: Racial and socioeconomic disparities exist in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and their treatment. We examined factors that may affect utilization of atherectomy in an office-based setting using a national outpatient registry. METHODS: Data were analyz...

Neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio is associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection: a multicenter retrospective cohort study

Early risk stratification remains challenging in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD). This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) for in-hospital mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection. We performed a multi...
