To identify causes and timing of mortality in trauma patients to determine targets for future studies. ⋯ Most deaths from trauma with shock or TBI occur within 24 hours from hypovolemic shock or TBI. Novel resuscitation strategies should focus on early deaths, though prevention may have a greater impact.

To study perioperative results and restenosis during follow-up of carotid artery stenting (CAS) versus carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for restenosis after prior ipsilateral CEA in an individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis. ⋯ In patients with restenosis after CEA, CAS and CEA showed similar low rates of stroke, death, and restenosis at short-term follow-up. Still, the risk of CNI and other procedure-related complications should be taken into account.

In this study, we report the results obtained from 70 living donors in France. ⋯ The laparoscopic retrieval of the left lateral section for live donor liver transplantation is safe and reproducible and has transitioned from an innovative surgery to a development phase in France.
