We present the case of a 42-year-old male with a congenital AVM of the non-dominant hand, who presented at our emergency department with spontaneous, life-threatening hemorrhage. Despite previous embolization attempts, the lesion had progressed to Schobinger stage III. The patient underwent emergent mid-forearm amputation, which successfully controlled the hemorrhage and provided significant pain relief. Two years postoperatively, he remains free of recurrence, with excellent functional and psychological recovery. A comprehensive literature review was also performed, highlighting the role of amputation as a last-resort, but sometimes life-saving, intervention in advanced extremity AVMs. Although embolization and surgical resection remain the cornerstones of treatment, amputation may be necessary in cases of intractable symptoms, recurrent complications, or failure of other therapies. A multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach is critical for decision-making and optimal long-term outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":8264,"journal":{"name":"Angiology","volume":" ","pages":"1110-1115"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145534270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current research identifies CAC as an active biological process driven by vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) osteogenic transdifferentiation, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysregulation.

Emerging pharmacological interventions, including denosumab, vitamin K2, and SNF472, have demonstrated potential in attenuating CAC progression by targeting these specific pathways. Conversely, widely prescribed medications such as statins exhibit complex, dual effects on calcification, necessitating careful clinical evaluation.

This study examines sex-specific trends, clinical outcomes, and healthcare resource utilization in young adults with ischemic stroke in the United States. Using the National Inpatient Sample from 2016 to 2021, we identified ischemic stroke hospitalizations in adults aged 18 to 44 years. We compared baseline characteristics, comorbidities, and outcomes between sexes, assessing trends with weighted regression and multivariate logistic regression to adjust for confounders; 168 310 hospitalizations were analyzed: 86 705 (51.5%) men and 81 605 (48.5%) women. Men had a higher prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and smoking while women had higher rates of diabetes, hypothyroidism, and anemia. Women had a lower adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for mortality (0.84, 95% CI: 0.75-0.94, <i>P</i> = .001) and acute kidney injury (0.50, 95% CI: 0.47-0.54, <i>P</i> < .001). The incidence of ischemic stroke/100 000 hospitalizations increased steadily over 6 years for both sexes, though men consistently showed higher rates. This study highlights sex-specific differences in ischemic stroke among young adults, with women showing better outcomes despite unique risk profiles. Targeted interventions addressing modifiable risk factors are needed to reduce stroke burden, particularly in young men.</p>","PeriodicalId":8264,"journal":{"name":"Angiology","volume":" ","pages":"1134-1141"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145706987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
