However, intercellular communication has not been sufficiently explored in human AAA tissue. Here, we investigated available single-cell RNA sequencing data generated from human AAA. These cells were divided into 27 clusters and 6 main cell types, such as T-cells, B-cells, myeloid cells, neutrophils, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. Immune cells were present in AAA tissues more than control. In addition, we established an intercellular communication network and observed a more pronounced enrichment of TGFB1, CCL, VEGF, IL6, and complement pathways in the AAA group compared to the control group. Together, our analyses provide beneficial insight into cell–cell communication and expand channels for the effective immunotherapy development of AAA in the future.","PeriodicalId":13375,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139273479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hand salvage becomes more challenging when patient presents with acute hand ischemia following injury to both forearm arteries and has associated musculoskeletal injuries. We hereby report the case of a 24-year-old male who sustained glass-cut injuries to his right distal forearm resulting in both forearm arterial, nerves, flexor tendon injuries, and presented as acute hand ischemia. The patient was managed by reconstruction of radial and ulnar arteries using reverse saphenous vein graft (RSVG) along-with primary repair of median and ulnar nerves and flexor tendons.

Objective: To investigate the morphological features of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a Chinese cohort and its clinical implications. Methods: It was a retrospective, observational study. The preoperative computed tomography angiogram (CTAs) of patients who underwent endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) from January 01, 2015 to December 31, 2020, were analyzed. A predefined set of AAA morphological measurements was taken. The eligibility of EVAR with current commercially available stent grafts on the market was examined. Results: A total of 210 cases were studied. The mean AAA diameter was 64.3 mm. The mean proximal and distal neck diameters were 22.9 mm and 24.4 mm, respectively, whereas the mean neck length was 23.8 mm and the mean infra-renal angle was 51.6°. The right and left mean common iliac arteries (CIAs) diameters were 21.2 mm and 18.3 mm. The right and left mean CIA lengths were 35.7 mm and 37.3 mm. The mean external iliac artery (EIA) diameter was 8.3 mm bilaterally. Female gender was associated with significantly smaller neck diameters, smaller EIA diameters, and larger infra-renal angle. EVAR eligibility ranged from 16%–37% and was significantly lower in females. Conclusions: The majority of Chinese patients with AAA did not meet the anatomical eligibility for EVAR, with neck angulation being the major deterrent. Female patients posed an additional anatomical challenge due to larger infra-renal angle and smaller iliac access diameter. The development of low-profile angulated neck-compatible EVAR devices may expand EVAR applicability in future.","PeriodicalId":13375,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":"193 - 199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70769244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report on consolidated data of patients with CRALI from 21 centers across India, which spanned the first two waves of COVID-the period of May 2020 to June 2021. Materials and Methods: Study design: Multicenter study from May 2022 to June 2021. Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was done. Inclusion criteria: All patients who presented with signs and symptoms of acute limb ischemia or acute on chronic limb ischemia and who also tested positive for COVID through rapid antigen test or real time polymerase chain reaction. Results: Data for 268 patients from 21 centers across India was available for analysis. 71% were males and 85% were >45 years of age. Majority of patients (n = 191) presented with acute symptoms. Best medical management with antiplatelets and anticoagulants was the only treatment in 34% of patients. Open embolectomy was attempted in 42%, endovascular procedures in 8% and amputation as primary procedure in 14.5%. Higher grades of ischemia were associated with significantly poorer limb salvage, amputation and mortality in the immediate and 14 days follow up (P < 0.001). At 14 days 173 limbs were salvaged (64.5%). Eighty patients underwent amputations (29.8%); 26 of the 80 (32%) were minor amputations (trans-metatarsal and less), so the major amputation rate was 20.1%. Maximum number of deaths were in the group that had undergone medical management (23%), while the least number of deaths were seen in the patients that had undergone some form of intervention, open surgical (2%) or endovascular procedure (4%). Looking at 14-day outcomes, the numbers of deaths in the patients managed with medical methods increased to 30%, open surgical to 7% and endovascular procedures to 8%. Conclusion: CRALI presented both as a primary presentation or developed later during the disease. Early surgical and endovascular interventions in these patients can help in achieving decent limb salvage rates.","PeriodicalId":13375,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":"182 - 192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70768710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our country, varicose veins are common surgical problems most commonly seen in low socio-economic groups and associated with certain occupation(s). Varicose veins have been known to affect the quality of life (QoL) leading to changes in occupation. Surgical treatment methods such as Saphenofemoral Junction (SFJ) Ligation and Great Saphenous Vein (GSV) stripping with spinal or general anaesthesia, Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA), Endovascular Laser Ablation (EVLA) and GLUE Technique within the operating room are considered in patients who remain refractory to conservative management and continue being symptomatic. Aim & Objectives: The study aimed to compare the outcome and associated post-operative complications, including Deep Venous Thrombosis, Pulmonary Embolism or Paresthesia, and Ecchymosis, with various modalities in the management of varicose veins. Material and Methods: The study was performed at a tertiary care centre which included 200 patients over a period of one year and was evaluated in the basis of VCSS & VDS scores. Results: We observed that all treatment protocols demonstrated results which improved the general physical condition of patients with the least number of complications. Treatment for varicose veins encompasses open surgeries and Endovenous techniques (EVLA and RFA), which show comparative results in clinical improvement, complications and postoperative hospital stay. Both VCSS and VDS are sensitive tools for measuring clinical outcomes of treatments of venous disease. However, the choice of appropriate tool is dependent upon the type of treatment, the Surgeon 's personal experience, availability of resources, durations of hospital admission and cost of treatment.","PeriodicalId":13375,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":"172 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70768944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
