Vascular calcification is a frequent finding in peripheral arterial disease and remains an additional challenge to endovascular treatment in both recanalization and durability of interventions. The lack of standardization in the classification of peripheral artery calcification has led to a defective characterization of the performance of endovascular devices in the subgroup of calcified lesions of the femoropo...
Perivascular adipose tissue has been increasingly recognized as an important producer of vasoactive factors and cytokines that may have a direct paracrine effect on the vasculature due to the inherent proximity. In this regard, perivascular adipose tissue-vessel interaction might be identified as a novel therapeutic target of vascular diseases. Conversely to other specific adipose depots, whose characteristics ...
Introduction: Subclavian artery aneurysm (SAA) can be an extremely rare complication of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). The arterial dilation usually occurs distal to the stenosis site causing TOS. We describe a rare case of a patient with neurological TOS with two voluminous SAA proximal and distal to interscalene triangle. Case report: A 55 years-old female patient, with no prior medical conditions, was refer...
