Objective. To evaluate the clinical and demographic characteristics of a group of patients under 35 years old admitted with acute coronary syndrome, as well as the features of coronary bed damage and endovascular treatment.Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of the group of patients aged 30 to 35, admitted to the Regional Vascular Center with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome in the period from 2019 to June 2021, was carried out. The study included 72 patients with ACS, regardless of the ST segment changes on the electrocardiogram, were admitted to the hospital by the emergency medical service referral. Positive troponins were detected in all the patients by qualitative analysis. Upon admission, they were sent to a catheterization laboratory. An examination was carried out according to the recommendations of medical care, as well as selective coronary angiography and, if indicated, stenting of the coronary arteries was performed.Results. When analyzing the clinical and demographic characteristics of the group, attention has been drawn to the absolute predominance of males — 71 (98.7%), urban residents — 64 (88.9%), low frequency of bad habits: tobacco smoking in 13 (18.1%) and alcohol abuse in 2 (2.8%) patients, the absence of concomitant pathology, a signifi cant time from the onset of symptoms to calling an ambulance (165 [90; 263]). According to the results of angiography, it should be noted the possibility of acute coronary syndrome with intact coronary arteries is 9 (27.3%) among all ACS cases with ST segment elevation and 29 (74.3%) with ACS without ST segment elevation, while in one third of the above episodes (13 (34.2%)) ACS was caused by the presence of a muscle “bridge” in the basin of the anterior descending artery, a concomitant phenomenon of slowed blood fl ow. The attention has been also drawn to the almost equal proportions of acute thrombotic occlusion (19 (55.9%)) and haemodynamically signifi cant hemadostenosis (14 (41.2%)) as the cause of ACS.Conclusion. In patients under 35 years old with a typical clinical. picture, positive troponins, with a qualitative analysis, there is a high probability of pathological changes in the coronary bed, regardless of the ST segment changes, which requires X-ray endovascular methods of diagnosis and treatment. Angiographic features of the coronary artery lesion in young people are the discreteness of the lesion in the proximal or middle sections of the arteries, the high frequency of thrombotic occlusions, the predominant lesion of the anterior descending or right coronary arteries, the low frequency of calcifi cation of the coronary arteries.

Despite intensive study of pathophysiology, of molecular and cell mechanisms of progression of atherosclerosis, development and introduction of a wide range of new conservative and surgical treatment methods, until now the diseases of lower limb arteries (DLLA) are one of the most urgent problems of the modern vascular surgery and medicine in general. Intensive development of roentgen-endovascular methods of treatment for the diseases of lower limb arteries has led to a considerable revision of the tactics of management of this category of patients in the recent years. Despite the achievements of roentgen-endovascular surgery, frequency of obstructions after surgical revascularization of limbs remains high, both in early and late postoperative periods. It should also be noted that despite the intensive development of methods of therapy of patients with DLLA, frequency of limbs amputation in this category of patients remains high. One of the urgent problems of management of patients with DLLA after endovascular treatment is the problem of restenosis. In the recent years, new efficient methods of pharmacotherapy of DLLA have been developed and introduced into clinical practice, which allows significant improvement of medical prognosis in this category of patients and improvement of the outcomes. It should be noted that standard approaches to antithrombotic therapy in patients after endovascular surgeries based on use of antiaggregant drugs, can only decrease the rate of thrombotic complications, but not of restenosis, which, from the point of view of pathophysiology, is mainly hyperproliferative condition. Among promising approaches to treatment of restenosis, there is use of cilostazol, efficiency of which after endovascular surgeries on coronary and peripheral arteries has been proven in a number of studies.

Haemodynamic changes in mitral regurgitation underlie triggering of patient’s symptoms and development of heart failure. A number of endovascular methods for the correction of mitral regurgitation successfully counteract pathological hemodynamics and thus manage to improve both the manifestations of heart failure and the patient's symptoms. This article is a review of the physiology of the mitral valve and the changes that occur in the presence of mitral regurgitation. The peculiarities of the hemodynamics of the left atrium in the conditions of mitral regurgitation and after some types of transcatheter treatment – edge-to-edge correction of the valve with Mitraclip and the implantation of an occluder in paraprosthetic mitral regurgitation are considered. The change in left atrial parameters immediately after correction of the defect is of value both for the assessment of immediate procedural success and for the patient's prognosis.

Abstract Background and case summary We report a case of a 76-year old female who was admitted to our hospital because of dyspnoea caused by a known high-grade tricuspid valve regurgitation. The patient received an edge-to-edge reparation of the tricuspid valve one month before the current admission using the TriClip XTR (Clip) system. The postinterventional echocardiographic results were satisfying, and the patient was discharged with tricuspid valve regurgitation grade I. At this new admission, the echocardiographic control showed a missing Clip on the tricuspid valve with a recurrent high-grade regurgitation. Fluoroscopy showed the dislocated Clip at the level of the femoral vein. This was also confirmed using Duplex sonography with no signs of thrombosis or embolization. The challenge was how to extract the Clip using endovascular methods as the patient refused any kind of surgical removal. We managed to remove the 20 x 10 mm big clip using transfemoral access and an endovascular snare system. No postinterventional complications were registered. The patient was discharged after the intervention with a new scheduled Clip procedure. Discussion This case shows a possible safe and challenging alternative to removing dislocated Clip from the femoral vein. Experienced operators are required to have the knowledge and skills to manage these possible procedural complications using the appropriate apparatus. A surgical technique would be, in this case, common practice, however as the patient declined surgical intervention, the endovascular approach was the alternative option.

As stroke is still the leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, it is promising that there has been a significant change in the acute treatment options for the patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke over the last 23 years after the approval of alteplase. Vascular recanalization of the occluded artery by endovascular methods with or without thrombolysis has shown improved clinical outcomes, particularly after randomized control trials (RCTs), which were conducted between December 2010, and December 2014. These trials will be discussed in more detail the below following sections of this chapter. Successful emergency reperfusion conducted on time still remains the most important determinant of good clinical outcome.

Several clinical observations of rare complications of pancreatoduodenectomy in the early and long-term postoperative periods are presented. The authors tell about the bile leakage (severity C), arrosive bleeding, thrombosis of the liver vessels, as well as bowel obstruction from carcinomatosis. The possibilities of modern minimally invasive technologies are demonstrated: ante- and retrograde and endovascular methods in the treatment of these complications. Pancreatoduodenectomy should be performed in multidisciplinary medical centers with extensive experience and modern equipment that allows timely correction of postoperative complications.

Varicocele is one of the most common problems in modern reproductive medicine. The incidence of varicocele in the structure of the general male population is 15%, 40% of which have problems with fertility. Among the causes of male infertility, varicocele ranks second after idiopathic, thus being the most common curable cause of male infertility. While researching the pathophysiological mechanisms of infertility in varicocele, the question of the reasons for the varicocele relapses, both after surgical and endovascular methods of treatment remains open, as well as the tactics of managing such patients. The review aimed to systematize knowledge about the problem of recurrent varicocele, to analyze the frequency and etiology of relapses after various methods of primary treatment, as well as to select the optimal diagnostic and treatment option for varicocele recurrence.

Background. Hemobilia is the excretion of blood alongside with bile through intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts. Despite the use of new methods of diagnosis and treatment, the mortality rate from hemobilia remains high (20-40%). Objective. To demonstrate a clinical case and some methods of diagnosis and treatment of a patient with hemobilia. Material and methods. The article presents our own clinical observation of a patient with a penetrating knife wound of the abdominal cavity with liver injury complicated by hemobilia. Two-stage treatment was performed including upper midline laparotomy, cholecystectomy, and biliary tract sanitation with external drainage of the common bile duct according to Pikovsky in combination with angioembolization of the damaged artery of the 4th liver segment. Results. The analysis of the clinical case shows X-ray endovascular methods to be one of the promising ways of increasing surgical management efficiency of traumatic hemobilia. Conclusions. This observation shows the possibility of developing hemobilia without signs of intra-abdominal bleeding in penetrating abdominal wounds with liver injury. The use of X-ray endovascular diagnostic methods can improve treatment outcomes of patients with hemobilia of traumatic origin.

Objective Rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) with a contained retroperitoneal hematoma is potentially fatal. Physiological studies are difficult to perform in patients suffering from life-threatening conditions such as rAAA. A translational model of the condition is therefore needed. The aim was to develop and validate an endovascular animal model for retroperitoneal bleeding of the abdominal aorta with contained hematoma. Methods In anesthetized pigs, a puncture hole was made in the posterolateral portion of the infrarenal aorta by an Outback re-entry catheter device. The hole was gradually enlarged using angioplasty balloons to a specific diameter of either 4 mm ( n = 6), 6 mm ( n = 7), or 8 mm ( n = 6). Onset of bleeding was verified by angiography and macroscopically examined on completion of the experiments. Survival up to 180 min was the primary outcome. Hemodynamic and metabolic markers in arterial blood were secondary outcomes. Results Aortic injury with a contained retroperitoneal hematoma was achieved in all animals. Survival rate at 180 min after onset of bleeding was higher in the 4 mm group compared to the 6 mm ( P = 0.021) and 8 mm groups ( P = 0.002), but not when comparing the 6 mm and 8 mm groups. Systemic hypotension, arterial acidosis, and lactatemia were provoked in the 6 mm and 8 mm groups but not in the 4 mm group. Conclusions A porcine model for a controlled contained left posterolateral retroperitoneal bleeding was created using endovascular methods and validated. This model makes it possible to study the pathophysiology of a retroperitoneal hematoma.
