To compare two endograft types, the original GORE EXCLUDER AAA endoprosthesis (W. L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz) with repositionable featuring C3 delivery system, which allows repositioning of proximal part graft to achieve accurate placement in relation renal arteries, unselected patients aortoiliac aneurysms. In a second nested, substudy we investigated relative effect standard and Dryseal introducer sheaths on intraoperative transfusion needs.We retrospectively analyzed...
To identify risk factors for recurrent thromboembolic events (RTEs) and define the optimum duration of treatment with tinzaparin in patients superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) lower limbs.
The aim was to validate the SYM VEIN consensus 3D scoring tool in chronic venous disease (CVD).This a prospective cohort study with total of 35 consecutive patients CVD. Patients CVD undergoing saphenectomy were assessed revised Venous Clinical Severity Score (r-VCSS), CIVIQ-20 quality life score questionnaire, and statement system, pre-operatively four weeks post-operatively. tested for reliability, construct validity, responsiveness.The demonstrated good reliability internal consistency...
Objectives To identify outcome predictors of isolated venous injuries (VIs). Methods Retrospective analysis prospectively collected information. Results A total 99 patients with 109 VI were included. All-cause mortality was 18/99 (18%) and related to the 10/99 (10%). On multivariate analysis, independent all-cause included age (odds ratio – OR 1.06, p = 0.042), external cause trauma foreign body retention (OR 34.62, 0.002) number red blood cell units transfused intraoperatively 2.10, <...
Temporal artery is superficially exhibited and easily traumatized. Rarely, a minor blunt trauma, especially in elderly who are under anticoagulants, can cause pseudoaneurysm. Diagnosis should be based, primarily, on history physical examination secondarily duplex ultrasound scanning which will lead to confirmation preoperative planning. The therapeutical plan consists of surgical ligation excision the aneurysm. Surgery performed local anesthesia with no postoperative major or complications....
Mucormycosis is a fungal infection caused by group of molds called mucormycetes, which are found in the environment. mainly affects patients with compressed immune system either from medication or systemic disease. Rhinocerebral zygomycosis most common form mucormycosis creation characteristic black necrotic eschar nasal cavity due to necrosis arterial vessels and irrigated tissue. Expansion paranasal sinuses intracranially rapid. In this case report, we present 46-year-old patient,...
Pneumonia caused by Legionella pneumophila is often included in the differential diagnosis of "atypical pneumonia." The symptoms and signs may range from a mild cough slight fever to stupor with widespread pulmonary infiltrates multisystem failure. has been identified lymph nodes, spleen, liver kidneys. Although, most common extrapulmonary site legionellosis heart, causing myocarditis, pericarditis, post-cardiotomy syndrome, prosthetic-valve endocarditis, peripheral vessels are affected as...

This study presents updated information on post-endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) late aortic rupture (LAR) as the data in literature are limited. It comprises a meta-analysis based recent evidence regarding incidence, causes, treatment outcomes, and prognosis of post-EVAR. A was conducted according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Studies were identified by searching electronic databases scanning bibliographic references from 1991...
A 71-year-old man with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis presented bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms diagnosed during the workup of his chronic kidney disease. On computed tomography angiography, aneurysm diameters measured 6.1 cm right side and 3.1 left side. The infrarenal aorta also had a small 3.2-cm aneurysm, but length from lowest to aortic bifurcation was only 6.7 cm, precluding use most bifurcated endografts. Following an uneventful staged preoperative internal...
Patients who undergo endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) may require prolonged radiation exposure affected by several factors. The objectives of this study were to document fluoroscopy time (FT) during EVAR and identify possible factors that influence it. A retrospective analysis a 180 patients' database with abdominal infrarenal aneurysms submitted 7-y period was performed. FT is evaluated regarding risk comorbidities, graft type patient-related, clinical technical parameters. FT's...
Isolated true aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery are rare and less common than those artery. They occurred commonly in elderly men about 87% most them located middle third Due to deep anatomic location distal artery, these reach a mean diameter 8.4 cm at diagnosis. The clinical presentation includes pulsatile thigh mass associated with pain, but rupture ischemia can occur as well. treatment aneurysm consists exclusion bypass or interposition graft. Endovascular has been used...
Abstract Carotid artery dissection, which accounts for up to 20% of strokes in young patients, usually extends distally and leads acute stenosis, occlusion aneurysmal changes with increased risk thromboembolic events, especially people.
A 41-year-old woman presented with a large painful and tender mass of the left side her neck located just below angle mandible. She was also complaining frequent attacks symptoms ranging from dizziness upon resuming erect position to frank syncope. Color-coded duplex showed well-vascularized vascular at level carotid bifurcation, suggesting diagnosis body tumor (CBT). computerized tomographic angiography confirmed CBT, which measured 5.7 cm in its craniocaudal axis. The appeared encase...
INTRODUCTION: Superficial vein thrombosis has been considered a self-limited and benign disease. Patients with varicose veins are commonly affected, but it can also affect patients underlying condition such as malignant disease or thrombophilia. of the lower extremities shares same risk factors deep thrombosis; propagate into venous system have complicated course pulmonary embolism. Ultrasonography is indicated for both confirmation evaluation superficial extension recurrence. This study...
