    Abstract Blue toe syndrome can occur due to distal embolization from proximal lesions such as an aortic thrombus. We describe the case of a patient who presented with chronic limb threatening ischemia due to a flow-limiting infrarenal aortic thrombus, with gangrene from distal embolization to the left fifth toe, and was successfully treated with endovascular aortic stent graft insertion. Distal embolization during instrumentation was successfully prevented by using a partially deployed Wallstent (Boston Scientific) as an embolic protection device. The reconstrainable Wallstent device can be considered for distal thromboembolic protection during aortic stenting, in particular, when distal embolization is a concern and commercial devices are not readily available.

    Abstract At the outset and during the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, as valuable resources are channeled to combat the pandemic, challenges in timely delivery of non-COVID-19-related health care services such as endovascular service arise. As such, this article looks at a tertiary institution's experience in managing its endovascular workload-referenced to the American College of Surgeons' triage of vascular surgery patient acuity-based case classification.

    Abstract Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are serious complications of diabetes which can lead to lower extremity amputations (LEAs). Risk prediction models can identify high-risk patients who can benefit from early intervention. Machine learning (ML) methods have shown promising utility in medical applications. Explainable modeling can help its integration and acceptance. This study aims to develop a risk prediction model using ML algorithms with explainability for LEA in DFU patients.
    Methods: This study is a retrospective review of 2559 inpatient DFU episodes in a tertiary institution from 2012 to 2017. Fifty-one features including patient demographics, comorbidities, medication, wound characteristics, and laboratory results were reviewed. Outcome measures were the risk of major LEA, minor LEA and any LEA. Machine learning models were developed for each outcome, with model performance evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, balanced-accuracy and F1-score. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) was applied to interpret the model for explainability.
    Results: Model performance for prediction of major, minor, and any LEA event achieved ROC of 0.820, 0.637, and 0.756, respectively, with XGBoost, XGBoost, and Gradient Boosted Trees algorithms demonstrating best results for each model, respectively. Using SHAP, key features that contributed to the predictions were identified for explainability. Total white cell (TWC) count, comorbidity score and red blood cell count contributed highest weightage to major LEA event. Total white cell, eosinophils, and necrotic eschar in the wound contributed most to any LEA event.
    Conclusions: Machine learning algorithms performed well in predicting the risk of LEA in a patient with DFU. Explainability can help provide clinical insights and identify at-risk patients for early intervention.

    Abstract Aim: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) dysfunction resulting from stenosis or occlusion, is a prevalent issue in end-stage renal failure patients reliant on autogenous AVFs for dialysis. Recently, a distal transradial approach (dTRA) has emerged, offering advantages such as diminished access site complications, better patient comfort and reduced risk of radial artery occlusion. Our study seeks to assess the effectiveness, outcomes and complication rates of employing dTRA for arteriovenous fistuloplasty in Singaporean patients.
    Methods: A retrospective review of all dTRA fistuloplasties performed on dysfunctional or slow to mature AVFs from 2017 to 2023 in our institution was performed. Patients with a distal radial artery measuring 2 mm or more with no evidence of occlusion or thrombosis were included. Patients who required central venoplasty or cutting balloon angioplasty were excluded. Outcome measures included technical success, mean procedure duration, complications and post-intervention primary patency at 1, 3 and 6 months. Patients were followed up for 12 months post-intervention.
    Results: A total of 37 patients were included. 97.3% of patients undergoing dTRA fistuloplasty had radiocephalic fistulas while 2.7% had brachiobasilic fistulas. There was 100% technical success (defined as success in radial artery cannulation, sheath insertion and crossing of stenotic lesions) in our study as all patients successfully underwent fistuloplasty via dTRA approach. One-month patency rate was 97.4%, 3-month patency rate was 92.1% and 6-month patency rate was 86.8%. There were no immediate complications (haematoma, infection, bleeding, pseudoaneurysm, occlusion) of the radial artery post-intervention.
    Conclusion: Our paper illustrates the safety and efficacy of utilising dTRA for arteriovenous fistuloplasty. This approach offers distinct benefits in addressing non-mature or dysfunctional distal forearm arteriovenous fistulas and should be taken into account in anatomically suitable cases.
