    Abstract Giant cell arteritis is a systemic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects medium- and large-size arteries. Usually, the temporal artery is involved. In rare cases, the patient experiences symptoms elsewhere, such as in the occipital region. In such cases, biopsy of the occipital artery can be considered. Few studies are available on how to perform such a biopsy. In this case report, we describe the procedure in detail, with a focus on the important anatomic structures. We wish to offer other surgeons a quick reference in the case of a request for a biopsy of the occipital artery.

    Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and performance of the sinus-SuperFlex-635 self-expandable nitinol stent (Optimed GmbH) for the treatment of steno-occlusive lesions in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and proximal popliteal artery (PPA).
    Methods: The prospective, multicenter, observational HERO study recruited 117 eligible patients (83 men; mean age 69.4±9.7y) from 7 centers in Belgium.
    Results: A total of 129 stents were successfully deployed in 121 lesions in 117 patients (100%). The patients presented with symptomatic ≥50% stenosis or chronic total occlusion (CTO) (30.6%). Mean lesion length was 71.4±56.3 mm. Moderate to severe calcification was present in 82.6% of the lesions. Acute lesion success (<30% residual stenosis) was achieved in 96.0%. There were no in-hospital serious adverse events. Duplex ultrasound-driven primary patency at 12 months was recorded in 84 of 107 (78.5%) lesions. The overall target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate was 8.4% at 12 months; the target extremity revascularization (TER) rate was 4.7%. Clinical assessment at 12 months demonstrated improvement by at least 1 Rutherford class, without the need for TLR (i.e. primary sustained clinical improvement) in 83.9% of patients and with the need for TLR in 90.6% of patients (i.e. secondary sustained clinical improvement).
    Conclusions: Based on the high primary patency, low stent fracture rate and significant clinical improvement, combined with refined stent design and long stent availability, the sinus-SuperFlex-635 self-expandable nitinol stent proves its value in the treatment of complex femoropopliteal lesions.
