A 2-year old, neutered male domestic short hair cat presented with a large mass involving the right upper lip and underlying gingiva. A previous attempt at mass excision had failed, and the histopathological diagnosis was reported to be a fibrosarcoma. The cat was otherwise in good health. A central hemimaxillectomy was performed with extensive soft-tissue dissection and maxillofacial reconstruction achieved using an axial pattern flap based on the superficial temporal artery. This is the first reported clinical case of the use of the superficial temporal artery axial pattern flap in the cat. Histopathology identified a periodontal fibromatous epulis.

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic creates new challenges for healthcare, including invasive cardiology. Case summary We discuss the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction combined with bilateral pneumonia. The patient had known severe iliac artery lesions with prior interventions and bilateral subclavian artery occlusions. After unsuccessful femoral artery access, the diagnostic angiography and the right coronary artery percutaneous coronary intervention were successfully performed from ultrasound-guided lower superficial temporal artery access. Discussion We showed that superficial temporal access can be used as an alternate access site for diagnostic coronary angiography and intervention when standard wrist and femoral access sites are not readily accessible.

We summarize the treatment effectiveness and experience of a patient who underwent internal carotid balloon occlusion combined with Intermediate-flow bypass as a treatment for large-giant cavernous sinus segment internalcarotid artery (CS ICA) aneurysms. A 62-year-old woman presented with a large aneurysm on the right side of the cavernoussinus with dizziness for about two years and Oculomot or nerve palsy. An extra cranial intracranial (EC-IC) Intermediate-flow by pass using a radial artery bypass graft (RABG) and proximal balloon occlusion of the Right ICA were performed. The patient experienced no new neurologic deficit after this treatment. Follow up radiologic evaluations using Computed Tomography Angiography revealed complete aneurysm occlusion. For patients with large-giant CS ICA aneurysms, treatment of ICA occlusion combined with Intermediate-flow superficial temporal artery-Radial artery-middle cerebralartery bypass surgery was an effective and safe surgical strategy.

Introduction. Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the head represent the rare lesions that have a congenital, traumatic or post-infectious nature. In the last decade, endovascular methods have become the most prevalent in the treatment of AVM. Staged embolization is performed to achieve maximum effect and minimize the complications.Case report. A 30-year-old female patient is presented with complaints of enlarged vessels in the frontal and parietal regions. CT-angiography scan and cerebral angiography showed extracranial AVM of the fronto-parietal regions with afferent vascular supply from the right and left superficial temporal and ophtalmic arteries with significant expansion of the afferent arteries and the presence of varix dilatation of the draining veins. Two-stage endovascular embolization of AVM was performed. The first stage was embolization of the afferent vessels from the left superficial temporal artery system with exclusion of 60–65% AVM volume. Three months later, the second stage was performed with embolization of the afferent vessels from the right superficial temporal artery system and the exclusion of 75–80% of the residual volume of AVM. The non-adhesive composition SQUIDR12 (Emboflu, Switzerland) and glue composition PHILR25% (Microvention, USA) were used. A good aesthetic effect was achieved. Postoperative complications were not observed. There was no recurrence during the observation within a year.Summary. The staging and the use of various liquid embolization agents in the treatment of AVM of the head allow to achieve a good aesthetic outcome and prevent complications associated with facial soft tissue necrosis.

Abstract Background Endovascular treatment of vascular pathologies through the transradial approach has been increasingly used and has demonstrated a low rate of complications. Objective To report our initial experience in the endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular diseases with the transradial approach and to determine its safety and feasibility. Methods Consecutive patients who underwent the transradial approach for endovascular treatment of aneurysms and vascular malformations were reviewed at a single institution. Technical success, fluoroscopy time, and access-related complications were analyzed. Results Eight patients underwent endovascular treatment with the transradial approach. One arteriovenous fistula, one superficial temporal artery aneurysm, three arteriovenous malformations, and four aneurysms were treated successfully. The radial artery was successfully approached and a 6-F sheath was used in all the cases. Navigation of guiding catheters (5 and 6 F) was done without complications. The most commonly approached artery was the right internal carotid artery, followed by the right vertebral artery. Postoperative vasospasm was identified in three patients. Mean fluoroscopy time was 34.7 minutes. Conversion to transfemoral approach was not required. No postoperative complications were reported. Conclusions In our initial experience, the transradial approach is a safe and feasible alternative for the endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular pathologies.

Abstract Patients undergo temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy as part of the diagnosis and management of chronic pain in the TMJ. Known complications of the procedure include bleeding within the joint spaces, lacerations of the external auditory canal and local nerve damage. We present the case of a 25-year-old woman who developed an arteriovenous fistula in the right pre-auricular region secondary to TMJ arthroscopic examination. She had presented with ongoing TMJ pain necessitating further investigation with arthroscopy. Following her procedure her TMJ symptoms improved, however she developed right pre-auricular swelling of gradual onset, right-sided headaches, and pulsatile tinnitus. Due to her pregnancy of around 16 weeks this was originally linked to expansion in plasma volume and hyperdynamic circulation; however, this was later diagnosed as an extremely rare, post-operative complication of TMJ arthroscopy. Her examination revealed a pre-auricular pulsatile swelling measuring approximately 1.5 cm. Blood tests including ESR and CRP were within normal limits excluding temporal arteritis. An ultrasound scan revealed an AV fistula of the right superficial temporal artery; Her MRI confirmed single vessel supply. Following discussion in the vascular anomalies MDT, she underwent embolisation with PHIL and surgical excision via a preauricular approach. The procedure was successful, and the patient made a full recovery. The literature reports very few cases of iatrogenic arterio-venous fistulas resulting from TMJ arthroscopic surgery. Our case emphasises the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in combining embolisation with surgical excision resulting in the successful management of a rare post-operative complication.

Revascularization Procedures

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Trapping with distal revascularization is a therapeutic option for giant aneurysms that cannot be clipped or coiled. In skull base lesions such as meningiomas, arterial encasement is often present, requiring, in some cases, revascularization procedures: extracranial-to-intracranial bypass and more recently intracranial-to-intracranial techniques. These techniques are used only in exceptional cases of tumors in other localizations. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: We report a case of a recurrent malignant frontal falx meningioma with encasement of both pericallosal arteries (PcaAs). During resection of the lesion, the left PcaA was sectioned and the right PcaA was occluded for manipulation and coagulation of the tumor. The occlusion was diagnosed with indocyanine green video-angiography. A Y-shaped superficial temporal artery graft was obtained in the right side, and the anterior cerebral artery circulation was reconstructed using an intracranial-to-intracranial bypass in the following fashion: right A2 to superficial temporal artery Y-shaped graft for both PcaAs. The patient's postoperative period was uneventful with no deficit, and the computed tomography angiography showed the preservation of both PcaAs. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this microsurgical reconstruction of the PcaAs has not been performed before in a meningioma or a complex aneurysm case. We think the use of a superficial temporal artery as an in situ graft is more straightforward compared with other interposition grafts such as the radial artery graft or saphenous vein graft. The use of intracranial-to-intracranial techniques is the proper evolution of the use of classic extracranial-to-intracranial cerebral revascularization techniques.

Arteriovenous fistulae of the superficial temporal artery are rare, and their principal cause is traumas. Complications include pulsatile mass, headache, hemorrhage and deformities that compromise esthetics. Treatment can be performed using conventional surgery or endovascular methods. The authors describe a case of a 44-year-old male patient who developed a large pulsating mass, extending from the preauricular region to the right parietotemporal and frontal regions after a motorcycle accident. The treatment chosen was complete surgical removal of the pulsatile mass and ligature of the vessels feeding the fistula.

Occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) by a pituitary adenoma with resulting cerebral ischemia is a very rare but devastating occurrence. The authors present a case in which a condition of symptomatic ICA occlusion due to a giant pituitary adenoma was successfully treated using a preliminary extraintracranial bypass as a “bridge” to the tumor removal. A 52-year-old patient presented with a minor stroke followed by pressure-dependent transient ischemic attacks consistent with a condition of hypoperfusion. MR imaging and a digital subtraction angiography revealed a pituitary adenoma occluding the ICA on the right side. He underwent a superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass with the aim of revascularizing the ischemic hemisphere and reducing the risk of perioperative stroke or stroke evolution. The patient was subsequently operated on to remove the adenoma through a transsphenoidal approach. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient has suffered no further ischemic events. When there are no emergency indications to decompress the optical pathways but the patient is at risk of impending stroke because of ICA occlusion, a two-step strategy consisting of a bypass and subsequent removal of the pituitary adenoma may be a valuable option.

A 10-year-old male, Muslim child diagnosed with xeroderma pigmentosa with a right upper lid malignancy presented as a therapeutic challenge because of the non-availability of normal facial skin for grafting and lid reconstruction. The lid lesion had been present for the last one month. The disease had been present for past five years with polymorphous, erythematous lesions all over the body. On examination, there was a hard reddish yellow mass in the lower lid with features of secondary infection along with corneal xerosis in both eyes. With a clinical diagnosis of malignancy, the lesion was subjected to a wide excision after the investigations. The resultant large tissue defect in the right lower lid region was managed by a full thickness trans-midline lateral forehead flap based on superficial temporal artery. Post operatively, there was a satisfactory graft uptake. The paucity of surgical options for the plastic reconstruction coupled with the large area to be reconstructed made our case worth reporting.
