An intra-aortic cord is one such abnormality, which requires differentiating from an intimal flap of dissection, to avoid major surgery or prolonged surveillance. The aim of this study was to bring forth a unique feature of the intra-aortic cord on imaging, using volume rendering reformatting and identify similar findings in published literature and hence establish the role of the 'Dimple' sign.MethodsReview of both our institutional imaging (2 cases) as well as the published literature (6 cases), to identify presence of a diagnostic sign that is seen on volume rendered imaging of aorta.ResultsThe 'Dimple sign' is unique to the intra-aortic cord and is noted on the images of 4 out of 6 prior publications. Two publications did not use volume rendering. Including our cases, the Dimple' sign is seen in 6 out of 8 cases. The Dimple sign arises due to tethering of the cord to the aortic wall leading to umbilication of the aortic wall inwards.ConclusionsThe Dimple sign can be very easily noted on volume and/or cinematic rendering and is a useful sign to diagnose an intra-aortic cord and help differentiate it from an intimal flap.</p>","PeriodicalId":94265,"journal":{"name":"Vascular and endovascular surgery","volume":" ","pages":"374-378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11951364/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142577362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The risk analysis index (RAI) is a validated model for frailty that has been shown to predict short and long-term outcomes. Through utilization of the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI), this study examined the application of the VQI-derived RAI in acute limb ischemia (ALI) patients undergoing open bypass lower extremity revascularization.MethodsThis is a longitudinal retrospective cohort study conducted on patients undergoing revascularization for ALI from the VQI. Using preoperative variables, an RAI score was calculated for each patient, and they were stratified into six cohorts: ≤20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35, 35-40, and ≥41. A binary forward multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the risk in each cohort on postoperative outcomes (mortality, amputation, surgical site infection, bypass revision, and discharge destination).ResultsThe VQI dataset included 3,620 patients (72.1% male) with an average age of 65 ± 12 years. After conducting a binary forward multivariate logistic regression, frailty was not associated with amputation, surgical site infection, or bypass revision. However, frailty at the highest vs lowest RAI score was significantly associated with 3.26 higher times the odds of mortality and 0.32 lower times the odds of being discharged home.ConclusionFrailty, modeled by the RAI, was demonstrated to be associated with postoperative outcomes in a linear manner in ALI patients undergoing open bypass lower extremity revascularization. Since this is one of the first times a long-term outcomes national database such as the VQI was utilized to study this topic, our research supports the incorporation of the RAI as a screening tool for ALI patients to help guide postoperative care and prognosis and guide shared decision-making in whether to pursue limb salvage or primary amputation.</p>","PeriodicalId":94265,"journal":{"name":"Vascular and endovascular surgery","volume":" ","pages":"387-395"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142677740","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}

To determine whether this perceived increase was occurring globally, we utilized the TriNetX database to evaluate the incidence of CS secondary to ALI intervention in both the pre-pandemic (2017-2019) and pandemic eras (2020-2022).MethodsWe conducted a multicenter query using the TriNetX global research network for ALI patients receiving treatment. Incidence of CS diagnosis within 1 calendar day of ALI intervention was calculated for each era. Demographics and comorbidities were then compared between CS and non-CS patients within each era. Risk of adverse outcomes within 30 days of CS diagnosis was also determined for each era, including mortality, major amputation, and re-intervention.ResultsThe pre-pandemic cohort contained 7736 patients while the pandemic era cohort included 8,306, for 16,042 total patients. A significant increase in CS incidence (risk ratio (RR) = 1.23, <i>P</i> = 0.0026) was demonstrated within the pandemic era. An increased prevalence of comorbidities such as dyslipidemia (pre-pandemic: <i>P</i> = 0.0022; pandemic: <i>P</i> = 0.0026) and peripheral vascular disease (<i>P</i> < 0.0001, both eras) was observed in the non-CS cohort within both eras. 30-day mortality was significantly increased in CS patients (pre-pandemic: RR = 3.057; pandemic: RR = 2.710; <i>P</i> < 0.0001 both eras) compared to non-CS patients. CS patients were more likely to receive major amputation (pre-pandemic: RR = 3.734; pandemic: RR = 2.809; <i>P</i> < 0.0001 both eras) and/or re-intervention within 30 days (pre-pandemic: RR = 1.871, <i>P</i> < 0.0001; pandemic: RR = 1.370, <i>P</i> = 0.0218) over non-CS patients.ConclusionsThe incidence of CS following revascularization for ALI rose worldwide during the pandemic. Patients who developed CS are younger with fewer comorbidities than non-CS patients. Despite a more favorable comorbid profile, CS patients demonstrate significantly higher rates of adverse outcomes.

The primary outcome was functional status quantified by modified Rankin Score (mRS) at time of discharge. The secondary outcomes were presence of hemorrhagic conversion, midline shift >5 cm, malignant cerebral edema, reocclusion, Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Scale (TICI), and discharge location.ResultsPatients with tandem occlusions and those with isolated intracranial lesions had similar baseline demographics. However, in patients with TLs, there was a significantly higher NIH stroke scale at admission and a longer time to recanalization. Modified Rankin Score prior to admission was similar for both groups, but was significantly higher in patients with TLs at discharge. The secondary outcomes were similar for hemorrhagic conversion, discharge to hospice, and a TICI scale of 0, but were significantly worse for patients with TLs for in-hospital mortality, midline shift >5 mm, and malignant cerebral edema.

The results of experiments showed that this technique can be achieved by the unique structural characteristic of an E-Luminexx Vascular stent (BD, Tempe, AZ, USA) as a main body in which the stent edge can be advanced beyond the catheter tip. This technique without using stent grafts can avoid recrossing of the jailed guidewire and can reduce the procedural and long-term care that is necessary when using stent grafts, and a future cross-over approach may be established also after treatment. Between 2017 and 2021, the ESCORT technique was performed in 7 consecutive cases of AIOD at our institute. The procedural success rate was 100%, and no complication occurred in any of the patients. Symptom resolution was obtained in all patients. Target lesion revascularization (TLR) was performed in 1 patient with extremely severe calcified lesions.

While depression has been shown to predispose patients to adverse outcomes after surgery, its impact on postoperative outcomes in Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection (TAAD) has not been established. This study aimed to conduct a population-based examination of the effect of preoperative depression on in-hospital outcomes after TAAD using the National/Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database, the largest all-layer database in the US.MethodsPatients undergoing TAAD repair were identified in NIS from the last quarter of 2015-2020. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to compare in-hospital outcomes between patients with and without preoperative depression, adjusted for demographics, comorbidities, hospital characteristics, primary payer status, and transfer status.ResultsThere were 321 (7.50%) patients with depression and 3961 (92.50%) non-depressive patients who underwent TAAD repair. Patients with and without depression had comparable in-hospital mortality (11.84% vs 15.37%, <i>P</i> = 0.35).
