The COVID-19 pandemic exposed flaws in the global supply chain. Most American manufacturers, retailers, and consumers thought they could access products easily. Then, they learned they had considerably less control than they had imagined. Although supply chains have largely recovered from pandemic woes, climate change, geopolitical strife, and other issues still disrupt plans.

Acute calculus cholecystitis affects approximately 10%–20% of individuals with symptomatic gallstones, often necessitating laparoscopic or robotic cholecystectomy as the gold standard. Although effective, this procedure carries risks of bile leak, biliary stricture, retained common bile duct stones, and dropped gallstones (DGs). Approximately 6%–7% of laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases result in DGs, with about 8.5% of these cases becoming symptomatic (1,2).

Since it was first described in 1990, flap fenestration has been performed to treat malperfusion resulting from complicated aortic dissection (1). Malperfusion is a life-threatening complication present in approximately 20% of descending aortic dissections and greatly increases mortality (2). Malperfusion results from compromise of branch vessels, either primarily involved by dissection or secondarily involved from collapse of the aortic true lumen.

Primary splenic angiosarcoma is rare, with less than 300 cases reported and an incidence rate of 0.14–0.23 cases per 1 million (1). No randomized trials are available to guide treatment, which typically includes the combination of splenectomy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy (1). This report describes long-term disease control of a primary splenic angiosarcoma with yttrium-90 (90Y) radioembolization complicated by radiation gastritis and gastric hemorrhage 3 years after treatment.
