In the present study, we aim to comprehensively evaluate the occurrence and management of steal syndrome in free flap reconstruction of the lower extremities. <b>Methods</b>: A thorough literature search was conducted across the MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases up to 29 January 2025. Studies were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria focusing on free flap microvascular reconstruction in the lower extremities with a focus on steal syndrome. Two independent reviewers assessed and extracted data. <b>Results</b>: Three studies were included, involving seven patients, with a mean age of 65.66 ± 5.89 years, who developed steal syndrome following free flap microvascular reconstruction. The most common revision involved below-the-knee amputation (BKA) due to ischemic complications. Comorbidities such as peripheral vascular disease (PVD), diabetes, and hypertension were present in all cases. The majority of anastomoses (85.7%) were end-to-side (ETS), with only one case utilizing a flow-through configuration. The majority of cases (n = 5, 71.4%) were reconstructed using latissimus dorsi (LD) flaps, with the remaining two cases using rectus abdominis (n = 1) and gracilis (n = 1) flaps. The recipient vessel was the anterior tibial artery in two patients (28.6%), the dorsalis pedis artery in two patients (28.6%), and the popliteal artery in three patients (42.9%). The most common salvage procedure was below-the-knee amputation (BKA), performed in four patients (57.1%). One patient required revision of the venous anastomosis and flap debridement, followed by a Chopart amputation (n = 1, 14.3%). <b>Conclusions</b>: The occurrence of steal syndrome in free flap microvascular reconstruction of the lower extremities is rare but can lead to significant complications, including amputation. The findings indicate that steal syndrome is more likely in patients with pre-existing vascular conditions such as PVD and diabetes. While surgical technique and flap type may influence its development, further studies are needed to identify specific anatomical and clinical predictors. The absence of a unified treatment guideline underscores the need for further investigation into effective management strategies to prevent amputation and optimize patient outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":8874,"journal":{"name":"Bioengineering","volume":"12 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12189075/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144494076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we propose a CNN-Transformer fusion model that leverages the complementary strengths of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Transformer-based architectures to process electroencephalogram (EEG) signals enriched with clinical and sentiment-derived features.

Experimental evaluations demonstrate a superior prediction accuracy of 97%, with notable improvements in recall and F1-score compared to leading baselines.

To address these challenges, this study proposes an improved U-Net-based liver semantic segmentation method that enhances segmentation performance through optimized feature extraction and fusion mechanisms. Firstly, a multi-scale input strategy is employed to account for the variability in liver features at different scales. A multi-scale convolutional attention (MSCA) mechanism is integrated into the encoder to aggregate multi-scale information and improve feature representation. Secondly, an atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) module is incorporated into the bottleneck layer to capture features at various receptive fields using dilated convolutions, while global pooling is applied to enhance the acquisition of contextual information and ensure efficient feature transmission. Furthermore, a Channel Transformer module replaces the traditional skip connections to strengthen the interaction and fusion between encoder and decoder features, thereby reducing the semantic gap. The effectiveness of this method was validated on integrated public datasets, achieving an Intersection over Union (IoU) of 0.9315 for liver segmentation tasks, outperforming other mainstream approaches.
