Abstract
We discuss four topics among the angiology and hemostasis studies of importance in 2023. The BASIL-2 study provides new data for the management of chronic limb-threatening ischemia by comparing surgical and endovascular treatment. The new classification of antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) syndrome integrates new clinical elements and gives a different weight among the isotype and titer of aPL. Concizumab, an antibody targeting the tissue factor pathway inhibitor, broadens the therapeutic arsenal for hemophilia A and B as evidenced by the results of the EXPLORER 7 study. The PREVENT-CLOT and CASTING study focus on the prevention of thrombosis after trauma, by testing the role of aspirin or the lack of thromboprophylaxis, respectively.

Abstract
Essentials Safety of computed tomography (CTPA) to exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) in all patients is debated. We analysed the outcome of PE-likely outpatients left untreated after negative CTPA alone. The 3-month venous thromboembolic risk in these patients was very low (0.6%; 95% CI 0.2-2.3). Multidetector CTPA alone safely excludes PE in patients with likely clinical probability. SUMMARY Background In patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) classified as having a likely or high pretest clinical probability, the need to perform additional testing after a negative multidetector computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) finding remains a matter of debate. Objectives To assess the safety of excluding PE by CTPA without additional imaging in patients with a likely pretest probability of PE. Patients/Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients included in two multicenter management outcome studies that assessed diagnostic algorithms for PE diagnosis. Results Two thousand five hundred and twenty-two outpatients with suspected PE were available for analysis. Of these 2522 patients, 845 had a likely clinical probability as assessed by use of the simplified revised Geneva score. Of all of these patients, 314 had the diagnosis of PE excluded by a negative CTPA finding alone without additional testing, and were left without anticoagulant treatment and followed up for 3 months. Two patients presented with a venous thromboembolism (VTE) during follow-up. Therefore, the 3-month VTE risk in likely-probability patients after a negative CTPA finding alone was 2/314 (0.6%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.2-2.3%). Conclusions In outpatients with suspected PE and a likely clinical probability as assessed by use of the simplified revised Geneva score, CTPA alone seems to be able to safely exclude PE, with a low 3-month VTE rate, which is similar to the VTE rate following the gold standard, i.e. pulmonary angiography.

Abstract
Popliteal entrapment is a rare compression syndrome involving vascular (and neurologic) structures of the popliteal fossa. In this article we review the popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES). PAES is a cause of intermittent claudication that can be, although rarely, complicated with acute limb-threatening ischemia. PAES occurs more often in young adult. Concerning pathophysiology, PAES is provoked by an abnormal relationship between popliteal artery and muscular-tendon structures within the popliteal fossa. A surgical repair is usually required to resolve mechanical compression or vascular damage.

Abstract
Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a major public health problem due to its high prevalence and socioeconomic costs. In absence of adequate care, it can lead to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Disturbed venous-flow patterns lead to venous hypertension. Therefore, prevention of CVD involves venous hypertension reduction. In primary prevention, it is essential to inform the patient about necessary lifestyle changes. In case of CVD, it is essential to propose treatment (compression, venoactive drugs, and interventional treatments) to avoid CVI appearance and eventually offer the best therapy solutions for CVI complications.

Abstract
The rapid evolution of revascularization techniques has allowed an improvement in quality of life of patients with peripheral artery disease. The angiological follow-up aims to insure durable results of revascularization, to diminish risk of amputation and to limit progression of atheroma plaques. The patient history and physical examination are essential in evaluating impact of peripheral artery disease upon quality of life and insuring the appropriate control of cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease related in most cases to extensive cigarette smoking is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among patients age 55 and older. Smoking cessation, inhaled anticholinergic therapy, and oxygen supplementation (when indicated) are primary treatment modalities. Nicotine administration via a transdermal system or polacrilex is the pharmacologic method of choice for smoking cessation. Concomitant group psychotherapy increases the likelihood of success. Beta agonists, mucolytics, and antibiotics can be useful in selected subgroups. Steroids and theophylline are controversial in COPD and should be used with caution. Prognostic indicators, such as degree of reversible airway disease, aid in long-term care decisions.

Abstract
The use of systemic vasodilator drugs in reducing pulmonary artery pressures in patients with pulmonary hypertension is controversial. The effect of hydralazine in four patients with pulmonary hypertension resulting from interstitial lung disease (group 1) and nifedipine in four patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to progressive systemic sclerosis (group 2) was investigated. Hydralazine blunted exercise induced elevations in pulmonary arterial pressures in individual group 1 patients; nifedipine failed to effect significant salutory hemodynamic changes in any group 2 patients.

Abstract
Twenty-one patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were studied with right heart catheterization. The mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) was compared with several noninvasive tests. The pulmonary lobar diameter/thoracic ratio correlated with the PAP, r = 0.677, P less than 0.01. The oxygen saturation and pH were used to derive a calculated value for PAP. The calculated PAP correlated with PAP values measured below 40 mm Hg, r = 0.787, P less than 0.01 but correlated very poorly with PAP values measured above 40 mm Hg. The electrocardiogram revealed at least one criterion for right ventricular abnormality in all 18 patients with pulmonary hypertension, but was too nonspecific to correlate with PAP. The hemoglobin concentration did not correlate with PAP. There was such wide variation between the measured PAP and the various noninvasive tests that these noninvasive tests could not be used to accurately predict the PAP in an individual patient.

Abstract
Eighteen patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with pulmonary hypertension were studied to assess the hemodynamic response to acute oxygen administration and to oral isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN). All 18 patients had baseline hemodynamic measurements and hemodynamic measurements during low-flow nasal oxygen. Following a second baseline measurement, patients received either oral ISDN (11 patients) or placebo (7 patients) in a randomized, double-blind protocol. Heart rate decreased with oxygen administration but there were no other significant hemodynamic changes. With oral ISDN, there was a significant fall in pulmonary artery and brachial artery pressure. Cardiac output, right atrial pressure, pulmonary wedge pressure, and pulmonary vascular resistance all fell but not significantly. We conclude that oral ISDN is effective in reducing pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Abstract
We evaluated the effect of breathing 100 ppm of carbon monoxide versus compressed, purified air for 1 hour on exercise performance in 10 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a double-blind, randomized, crossover study. The mean arterial carboxyhemoglobin was 1.48 per cent in the carbon monoxide control period and increased from 1.43 to 4.08 per cent after breathing carbon monoxide (P less than 0.001). The mean arterial carboxyhemoglobin level was 1.52 percent in the air control period and decreased from 1.47 to 1.34 per cent after purified air (P less than 0.001). The mean exercise time until marked dyspnea decreased from 218.5 seconds in the carbon monoxide control period to 146.6 seconds after breathing carbon monoxide (P less than 0.001). The mean exercise time was 219.9 seconds in the air control period and 221.3 seconds after purified air (P not significant). Breathing 100 ppm of carbon monoxide for 1 hour caused a significant reduction in exercise performance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
