<b/> Background: Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a heterogenous group of diseases, which have pulmonary fibrosis, restrictive lung disease, and decreased diffusion capacity as a common final path. Premature death frequently results not from ILD itself but from comorbidities. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common comorbid disease in different chronic lung diseases. The focus of the present study is to clarify the prevalence of PAD in ILD. Patients and methods: A total of 97 patients with ILD and 30 controls were included in the study...

<b/>Endovascular arterial revascularisations for the treatment of symptomatic peripheral arterial disease are constantly increasing in importance and number due to the changing age structure and high numbers of comorbidities in the German population. Patients with peripheral artery disease are often at increased risk for peri- and post-procedural complications including severe cardiovascular events. Due to limited financial and human resources and considerable risks of hospitalization, endovascular interventions that were previously reserved for hospitalized patients are now progressively considered to be performed as day case procedures...

Grigorios Korosoglou, Andrej Schmidt, Michael Lichtenberg, Giovanni Torsello, Gerd Grözinger, Jihad Mustapha, Ramon L Varcoe, Ito Wulf, Britta Heilmeier, Oliver J Müller, Thomas Zeller, Erwin Blessing, Ralf Langhoff
<b/>Together with colleagues from different disciplines, including cardiologists, interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons, committee members of the of the German Society of Angiology ( Deutsche Gesellschaft für Angiologie [ DGA ]), developed a novel algorithm for the endovascular treatment of peripheral chronic total occlusive lesions (CTOs). Our aim is to improve patient and limb related outcomes, by increasing the success rate of endovascular procedures. This can be achieved by adherence to the proposed crossing algorithm, aiding the standardization of endovascular procedures...

<b/> Background: To investigate the usability of Mixed-Reality (MR) during patient education in patients scheduled for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. Patients and methods: Consecutive patients scheduled for elective AAA repair were block-randomized in either the Mixed-Reality group (MR group) or the conventional group (control group). Patients of both groups were educated about open and endovascular repair of their respective AAA. The MR group was educated using a head-mounted display (HMD) demonstrating a three-dimensional virtual reconstruction of the respective patient's vascular anatomy...

<b/> Background: The total endovascular repair of the aortic arch is becoming more and more an acceptable alternative to the open repair in selected patients. The aim of the present study is to perform a meta-analysis of the available data on the outcomes of the various endovascular techniques used to treat the pathologies in this challenging anatomical area. Patients and methods: An extensive electronic search in PubMed/MEDLINE, Science Direct Databases, and the Cochrane Library was conducted. All papers published up to January 2022 on the endovascular techniques in the aortic arch (chimney-thoracic endovascular aortic repair (ChTEVAR), fenestrated/branched grafts as custom made devices (CMD) and surgeon modified TEVAR (SM TEVAR) providing information about at least one of the essential outcomes defined in the inclusion criteria...

JOURNAL ARTICLE

<b/> Background: The latest guidelines propose a TcpO2 value of 30 mmHg to help to confirm the diagnosis of chronic limb threatening ischemia. However, placement of electrodes is not standardised. The relevance of an "angiosome-centred" approach for TcpO2 electrode positioning has never been evaluated. We therefore retrospectively analysed our TcpO2 results to study the impact of electrode placement on the different angiosomes of the foot. Patients and methods: Patients consulting the vascular medicine department laboratory for suspicion of CLTI using TcpO2 electrodes placement on the different angiosome arteries of the foot (first inter metatarsal space, lateral edge of the foot and plantar side of the foot) were included...

<b/>Tobacco consumption is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Despite all efforts to curb any form of smoking, the number of e-cigarette users is still rising more than tabacco smoking decreases. E-cigarettes are often advertised as less harmful than regular cigarettes and helpful for smoking cessation. But e-cigarettes are not risk-free and their use causes vascular damage. There is concern about long-term health risks of e-cigarettes or when non-smokers use them as first nicotine contact...

<b/>Vascular handlebar syndrome with blunt injury of the common femoral artery is a rare vascular trauma mechanism, with high possibility of being missed or delayed. We present two cases of vascular handlebar syndrome treated in our hospital and a systematic review of the literature using MEDLINE and SCOPUS databases. Literature review identified 20 similar cases. The median age of patients was 18 years, and in vast majority males in gender. In most cases, the common femoral artery injury was an intimal flap and lumen occlusion with intramural thrombosis followed by transection and intimal injury without occlusion or thrombosis...

<b/> Background: Venous thromboembolism appears to be associated with severe COVID-19 infection than in those without it. However, this varies considerably depending on the cohort studied. The aims of this single-centre, multi-site retrospective cross-sectional study were to assess the number of all venous scans performed in the first month of pandemic in a large university teaching hospital, to evaluate the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and assess the predictive ability of the clinical information available on the electronic patient record in planning work-up for DVT and prioritising ultrasound scans...
