    Abstract Introduction and importance: Although most of the causes of acute superior mesenteric artery (SMA) embolism with a poor clinical course originate from the heart, we report a case of SMA embolism secondary to advanced sarcoma of the lower extremities.
    Case presentation: A 66-year-old man presented with chest and epigastric discomfort that lasted for 1 day. Coronary angioplasty was performed, followed by laparotomy with an embolectomy of the SMA, small bowel resection, and ileostomy. After surgery, leiomyosarcoma was diagnosed on a biopsy performed in the left thigh, and lung metastasis was confirmed. He had recurrent peritonitis for 2 months and died of multiple organ failure.
    Clinical discussion: The common etiologies of SMA embolism include cardioembolic sources with atrial fibrillation and recent myocardial infarction. Rare etiologies include atherosclerotic plaque, mural thrombus of the aneurysm, and cardiac sarcoma.
    Conclusion: Efforts are required for the systemic evaluation of various etiologies in patients with SMA embolism who require rapid diagnosis and intervention.

    Abstract Purpose: With the increase in the incidence of venous thrombosis, interest in May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) accompanying iliac vein compression has increased. Some patients with MTS have inferior vena cava thrombosis or thrombosis beyond iliac vein stenosis (TBIVS). This study aimed to identify the characteristics of MTS with TBIVS including pulmonary embolism (PE) and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) compared to those of MTS without TBIVS.
    Materials and methods: Thirty-five patients with deep vein thrombosis associated with MTS were treated between March 2012 and February 2016. Demographic data, medical history, computed tomography findings (iliac vein size of stenosis and stenotic ratio compared with the other side), and clinical outcomes (preoperative PE and PTS) were retrospectively collected and reviewed by dividing into groups with or without TBIVS.
    Results: Eight of the 35 patients with MTS had TBIVS. The group with TBIVS had a statistically significantly greater iliac vein size (P<0.001) and ratio (P=0.001). PE was more prevalent in the group with TBIVS (63% vs. 15%, P=0.007). However, no statistically significant intergroup difference in PTS prevalence was found.
    Conclusion: The presence of mild iliac vein stenosis in MTS can be used to predict TBIVS and the requirement for more attention to PE.

    Abstract Background: Kidney transplantation (KT) has become common in the treatment of end-stage renal disease. However, to date, there have been no bibliometric analyses of KT research to identify the most influential articles. The purpose of this research is to identify and characterize the 100 most cited articles that focus on KT and to clarify the trends in the accomplishments in this field.
    Methods: We searched the Thomson Reuters Web of Science citation indexing database and used keyword mapping of VOSviewer. The top 100 most cited manuscripts were analyzed based on their titles, authors, institutions, countries of origin, years of publication, and topics.
    Results: The New England Journal of Medicine has published the most manuscripts on kidney transplantation (n = 26) and is the most cited journal (n = 15,642). The United States has the highest number of publications (n = 61). Kashika is the corresponding author with the most published papers (n = 5; 2892 citations). The most common topics of publication are immunosuppressant (n = 34), clinical outcome (n = 26), and pathology (n = 22). Keywords related to immunosuppressant are the most common in keyword mapping with VOSviewer.
    Conclusions: This bibliometric analysis of KT research provides the research characteristics and publication trends of this topic. In KT research, immunosuppressants and post-transplant clinical outcomes have been important topics.

    Abstract Background: To evaluate the size of a postoperative lymphocele in the coronal and axial reconstruction planes using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in kidney transplantation recipients.
    Methods: We evaluated 92 recipients who underwent MDCT of the abdominopelvis at 1 month after kidney transplantation. The axial short axis, axial surface area, coronal short axis, and coronal surface area of the lymphocele were measured using the reconstructed MDCT coronal and axial images. Depending on the clinical manifestations and radiologic findings of the recipients, all lymphoceles were classified into symptomatic and asymptomatic. We compared the suitability of the size measurement on coronal and axial planes of MDCT reconstruction for symptomatic lymphocele in kidney transplant recipients using Spearman's correlation analysis and comparisons of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
    Results: Areas under the ROC curves were 0.957 and 0.928 for the axial short axis and axial surface area and 0.968 and 0.966 for the coronal short axis and coronal surface area, respectively. In pairwise comparison of the ROC curve of the parameters of the symptomatic lymphoceles, the coronal measurement was significant in contrast to the axial measurement (short axis, P=0.357; surface area, P=0.047).
    Conclusions: For the prediction of symptomatic lymphoceles using MDCT, the coronal measurement of postoperative lymphoceles can significantly improve diagnostic performance over axial measurement in kidney transplant recipients.

    Abstract Background: There are three main competing treatment modalities for carotid artery stenosis (CS), i.e., carotid endarterectomy (CEA), carotid artery angioplasty/stenting (CAS), and medical treatment. In this study, we analyzed the performance and trends of CS research through bibliometric analysis.
    Methods: We searched the Thomson Reuters Web of Science citation indexing database. The key words used in the search were "carotid artery" and "carotid stenosis". The top 100 most cited manuscripts (T100) were analyzed based on title, author, institution, country of origin, year of publication, and topic.
    Results: The T100 were published between 1990 and 2016. The Stroke published the most manuscripts (n=22) and the New England Journal of Medicine was the most cited (n=15,113). The United States had the greatest number of publications (n=43), and the University of Oxford was the institution with the most publications (n=7). Peter M. Rothwell was the corresponding author with the most publications (n=10). The main topics were in the following categories: CEA (n=22), medication (n=11), CAS (n=9), diagnosis (n=44), and CEA vs. CAS (n=14).
    Conclusions: This bibliometric analysis of CS research provides insight into publication trends and perspective on the treatment of CS.

    Abstract Background: This study investigated the correlations between several trauma scoring systems, including the injury severity score (ISS), clinical abdominal scoring system (CASS), new injury severity score (NISS), and clinical outcomes, including laparotomy, in-hospital mortality (IHM), and long hospital stay (LS) in patients with abdominal trauma.
    Methods: Data of 749 patients with abdominal trauma between January 2009 and December 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Data from medical records included age, sex, initial vital signs, type and mechanism of trauma, hospital stay, laparotomy, and IHM. Injured organs and grades were collected using computed tomography. Correlations between the scoring system and clinical outcomes were analyzed using the area under Curves (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
    Results: The mean age of the patients was 40.14±19.47 years. Blunt trauma was the most common type of trauma in 704 patients (94.0%), and traffic accident was the most common mechanism in 475 (63.4%). Injured organs included liver (45.1%) and spleen (25.1%). A total of 179 patients (23.9%) underwent laparotomy and IHM was reported in 35 (4.6%). The AUC of ROC for ISS, NISS, and CASS was significantly associated with laparotomy (0.682; p=0.001, 0.713; p=0.001; 0.845; p=0.001). The AUCs showed significant for IHM (0.606; p=0.034, 0.626; p=0.012, 0.701; p=0.001). The AUCs for LS were 0.554 (p=0.041), 0.549 (p=0.062), and 0.581 (p=0.002).
    Conclusion: The CASS is excellent for predicting laparotomy, IHM, and LS in patients with abdominal trauma. The NISS is more appropriate than the ISS for predicting laparotomy and IHM.

    Abstract Objective To use bibliometric analysis to understand characteristics and trends in the research on chronic venous disease (CVD), which affects patients’ quality of life by causing pain, swelling, and ulceration. Methods We searched the Thomson Reuters Web of Science citation indexing database to identify the 100 most-cited manuscripts on CVD. The resulting articles were analyzed by title, author, institution, topic, year of publication, and country of origin. Results The Journal of Vascular Surgery published the most manuscripts on CVD (n = 36) and was the most-cited journal (n = 5356). The United Kingdom was the country with the greatest number of publications (n = 32). Imperial College London was the institution with the highest number of publications (n = 6). Endovenous thermal ablation was the most widely studied research specialty (n = 30). Conclusions Our analysis showed that the majority of CVD research is carried out in Western countries, and that the number of research studies is increasing in line with recent advances in CVD.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and outcome of the transjugular approach in endovascular recanalization of a thrombosed straight arteriovenous graft (AVG) compared to those of the direct hemodialysis access approach (conventional approach).
    Materials and methods: We retrospectively assessed patients who underwent aspiration thrombectomy and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for thrombosed straight AVG performed at a single institution between October 2006 and October 2021. A total of 138 thrombosed AVGs in 83 patients (39 male and 44 females) were divided into the transjugular approach group (Group A) and the conventional approach group (Group B). Technical and clinical success, postintervention primary patency, cumulative patency, and periprocedural complications were compared.
    Results: There was no statistical difference in demographic data between groups A and B. The technical success rate of group A and B was 96.4% (80/83) and 98.2% 54/55, respectively (p > 0.05). The mean procedure time was 61.4 min (Group A) and 70.5 min (Group B) (p > 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in postintervention primary patency. The cumulative patency of Groups A and B was 911.9 days (range 122-6277) and 1062.3 days (range 72-2302 days), respectively (p > 0.05). One patient in Group B experienced a major graft rupture. Pseudoaneurysm formation at the sheath insertion site occurred in two patients in Group B. No cases of stenosis or thrombosis of the IJV or hematoma at the puncture site were observed in Group A.
    Conclusion: The transjugular approach is as safe and effective as the conventional approach for aspiration thrombectomy and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of thrombosed straight AVGs.

    Abstract Essential thrombocythemia is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by platelet aggregation and thrombosis. Clinically, essential thrombocythemia increases the risk of both thrombosis and bleeding. Essential thrombocythemia is more involved in micro- and small-sized arteries than in large arteries. Many essential thrombocythemia patients exhibit various symptoms, including microvascular thrombosis with acute coronary disease, digital ischemia, and transient ischemic attack. This study reports a rare case of recurrent thrombosis in relatively large vessels including splanchnic, lower extremity arteries, and aorta in essential thrombocythemia. A 70-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency room with abdominal pain and fever for a day. The patient underwent three operations due to recurrent arterial thrombosis of superior mesenteric, splenic, aorta, and lower extremities. She had recurrent diarrhea and acute kidney injury because of short bowel syndrome after extensive bowel resection. In conclusion, essential thrombocythemia patients aged >60 years and who have risk factors such as history of major ischemic events or severe leukocytosis must be careful of thrombosis of the medium- and large-sized arteries, including splanchnic and lower extremity arteries.
