    Abstract Introduction: Public health was severely affected by the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, imposing major daily life changes across the world, including health services that had to restructure significantly.
    Report: Considering the potential side effects on the quality of vascular training, a digital survey (Survey Monkey®) was developed and submitted to vascular trainees from 7 July to 20 September 2020 through European mailing lists and social media platforms. The aim was to evaluate the standpoint of vascular education across Europe during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify possible measures to mitigate the negative effects on vascular trainees. A total of 104 answers across 27 European countries were received. The mean age of the responders was 31.2 ± 3.58 years, of whom 60.6% were male. Forty-four (42.3%) of the vascular trainees actively participated on the COVID-19 front line; 76.9% of them reported a decrease in surgical procedures performed and/or assisted, with 60% reporting a reduction >50%. Emergency procedures were the only surgical activities for 7.5% of the trainees. Annual or final examinations were re-scheduled or cancelled for 16.3% and 10.6% of the participants, respectively. According to the survey, 73.5% of the responders claimed that the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on vascular education and 73.4% agreed the need for "compensation measures" to be taken.
    Discussion: The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic brought a significant negative impact on vascular education. Considering an extended pandemic situation, it is believed that compensatory measures should be addressed to maintain the high standards of vascular education and develop new educational tools for future trainees.

    Abstract Introduction and objectives: Carotid cross-clamping during carotid endarterectomy might lead to intraoperative neurologic deficits, increasing stroke/death risk. If deficits are detected, carotid shunting has been recommended to reduce the risk of stroke. However, shunting may sustain a specific chance of embolic events and subsequently incurring harm. Current evidence is still questionable regarding its clear benefit. The aim is to determine whether a policy of selective shunt impacts the complication rate following an endarterectomy.
    Material and methods: From January 2013 to May 2021, all patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy under regional anesthesia with intraoperative neurologic alteration were retrieved. Patients submitted to selective shunt were compared to a non-shunt group. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was performed. Differences between the groups and clinical outcomes were calculated, resorting to univariate analysis.
    Results: Ninety-eight patients were selected, from which 23 were operated on using a shunt. After PSM, 22 non-shunt patients were compared to 22 matched shunted patients. Concerning demographics and comorbidities, both groups were comparable to pre and post-PSM, except for chronic heart failure, which was more prevalent in shunted patients (26.1%, P=0.036) in pre-PSM analysis. Regarding 30-day stroke and score Clavien-Dindo ≥2, no significant association was found (P=0.730, P=0.635 and P=0.942, P=0.472, correspondingly, for pre and post-PSM).
    Conclusions: In this cohort, resorting to shunting did not demonstrate an advantage regarding 30-day stroke or a Clavien-Dindo ≥ 2 rates. Nevertheless, additional more extensive studies are mandatory to achieve precise results concerning the accurate utility of carotid shunting in this subset of patients under regional anesthesia.

    Abstract Objective: Intra-operative near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive tool used to monitor regional cerebral oxygen saturation during carotid endarterectomy (CEA), for which accuracy remains unclear. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of NIRS in patients undergoing CEA under regional anaesthesia (RA).
    Data sources: MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for studies that compared NIRS with the "awake test" in patients undergoing CEA under RA.
    Review methods: Bivariable random effects meta-analysis was performed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of NIRS to detect cerebral ischaemia. Meta-regression was performed to explore causes of heterogeneity. Meta-analysis of proportions was also performed to determine the accuracy of NIRS in predicting 30 day stroke. Study quality was evaluated using the QUADAS-2 criteria.
    Results: Eleven primary studies were included, assessing 1 237 participants. The meta-analysis obtained a partial area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve for diagnosing brain ischaemia of 0.646, with a summary sensitivity of 72.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 58.1 - 82.7; I
    Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that NIRS as a cerebral monitoring technique does not have sufficiently high sensitivity or specificity to be used alone in the neurological monitoring of patients undergoing CEA under RA.

    Abstract Aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) remains an area of debate concerning open and endovascular treatment options. A case of a 63-year old female is reported, with previous known vascular intermittent claudication, that presented in the emergency room with acute ischemia of the right lower limb with 24-hours of evolution. The computer tomographic angiography unveiled occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery, occlusion of left common iliac artery (CIA), subocclusive stenosis of right CIA, occlusion of distal runoffs vessels in the right lower limb and diffuse aorto-iliac disease. The first approach was to place the patient under catheter directed thrombolysis (48h) which led to right pedal pulse recovery but the occlusion of left CIA remained. The patient was then electively submitted to Covered Endovascular Repair of Aortic Bifurcation (CERAB) with chimney to inferior mesenteric artery and with an additional bailout left iliac sandwich due to dissection. Distal pulses are still present after 18 months of follow-up. Endovascular techniques provide a low morbimortality option with similar symptomatic improvement, challenging open surgery as the standard of care even in complex AIOD.

    Abstract While interactions between neural crest and placode cells are critical for the proper formation of the trigeminal ganglion, the mechanisms underlying this process remain largely uncharacterized. Here, we show that the microRNA-(miR)203, whose epigenetic repression is required for neural crest migration, is reactivated in coalescing and condensing trigeminal ganglion cells. Overexpression of miR-203 induces ectopic coalescence of neural crest cells and increases ganglion size. Reciprocally, loss of miR-203 function in placode, but not neural crest, cells perturbs trigeminal ganglion condensation. Demonstrating intercellular communication, overexpression of miR-203 in the neural crest
