“…Endovascular treatment is increasingly employed as the treatment for symptomatic aortoiliac occlusive disease. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with or without stenting is associated with less complication rates and shorter hospitalisation stay when compared to open surgery [1]. One of the possible complications of aortoiliac stenting is the development of emboli.…”

Endovascular treatment is increasingly employed as the treatment for symptomatic aortoiliac occlusive disease. One of the possible complications of aortoiliac stenting is the development of emboli. We present a case of a 60-year-old patient presenting with right scrotal pain immediately following aortoiliac stenting for right common iliac, proximal external iliac and proximal internal iliac arteries thrombosis. He was found to have testicular ischaemia with absent blood flow on duplex ultrasonography. The patient was managed expectantly and reduced blood flow spontaneously returned to the testis over the next few weeks.

Cardiovascular stents are life‐saving devices and one of the top ten medical breakthroughs of the 21st century. Decades of research and clinical trials have taught us about the effects of material (metal or polymer), design (geometry, strut thickness, and the number of connectors), and drug‐elution on vasculature mechanics, hemocompatibility, biocompatibility, and patient health. Recently developed novel bioresorbable stents are intended to overcome common issues of chronic inflammation, in‐stent restenosis, and stent thrombosis associated with permanent stents, but there is still much to learn. Increased knowledge and advanced methods in material processing have led to new stent formulations aimed at improving the performance of their predecessors but often comes with potential tradeoffs. This review aims to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of stent material interactions with the host within five areas of contrasting characteristics, such as 1) metal or polymer, 2) bioresorbable or permanent, 3) drug elution or no drug elution, 4) bare or surface‐modified, and 5) self‐expanding or balloon‐expanding perspectives, as they relate to pre‐clinical and clinical outcomes and concludes with directions for future studies.

Preventing and treating foot complications associated with diabetes mellitus

2015

Diabetes mellitus is associated with a series of macrovascular and microvascular changes that can manifest as a wide range of complications. Foot ulcerations affect ∼2-4% of patients with diabetes mellitus. Risk factors for foot lesions include peripheral and autonomic neuropathy, vascular disease and previous foot ulceration, as well as other microvascular complications, such as retinopathy and end-stage renal disease. Ulceration is the result of a combination of components that together lead to tissue breakdown. The most frequently occurring causal pathways to the development of foot ulcers include peripheral neuropathy and vascular disease, foot deformity or trauma. Peripheral vascular disease is often not diagnosed in patients with diabetes mellitus until tissue loss is evident, usually in the form of a nonhealing ulcer. Identification of patients with diabetes mellitus who are at high risk of ulceration is important and can be achieved via annual foot screening with subsequent multidisciplinary foot-care interventions. Understanding the factors that place patients with diabetes mellitus at high risk of ulceration, together with an appreciation of the links between different aspects of the disease process, is essential to the prevention and management of diabetic foot complications.
