Pyogenic Granuloma of Cymba Concha - unusual site of a benign lesion
Carneiro,José Pedro; Figueiredo,Hugo Barcelos; Marques,Davide Lourenço; Almeida,Rui; Carvalho,Filipa; Silva,Clara; Miguéis,António; Miguéis,JorgeAbstract Pyogenic granuloma is a benign lesion of the skin or mucosa that frequently occurs in the head and neck region. The description of this lesion in the auricle or other regions of the external ear is very rare, with 7 cases published in the literature in the last 20 years. Treatment consists of surgical excision of the lesion. We present the case of a 20-year-old woman who presented with a friable lesion...
Outcomes of kidney autotransplantation technique in the treatment of different ...
Mendes,Daniel A.; Machado,Rui; Veterano,Carlos; Rocha,Henrique; Castro,João; Pinelo,Andreia; Almeida,Henrique; Almeida,RuiAbstract Introduction: Kidney autotransplantation (KAT) is a versatile surgical technique used to treat multiple diseases affecting the kidney. This procedure allows the reconstruction of the renal artery or vein with optimal surgical exposure reducing warm ischemia time compared to open direct repair. Although infrequently reported nowadays and despite the growing use of endovascular treatments, KAT still has ...
Parallel grafting technique for a complex zone 6 aortic pseudoaneurysm treatment
Mendes,Daniel Azevedo; Machado,Rui; Pereira,Carlos; Castro,João; Almeida,RuiAbstract Introduction: Endovascular reconstruction of the thoracoabdominal aorta is highly complex due to the need to preserve the main visceral branches. Optimal treatment with fenestrated and branched aneurysm aortic repair (F/B-EVAR) is usually not possible in urgent situations. Parallel grafting technique as an “off-the-shelf” solution have been described with good short and medium-term results. Case report...

Antunes,Inês; Pereira,Carlos; Veterano,Carlos; Veiga,Carlos; Mendes,Daniel; Rocha,Henrique; Castro,João; Pinelo,Andreia; Almeida,RuiResumo Introdução: O fenómeno de nutcracker refere-se à compressão da veia renal esquerda (VRE), habitualmente entre a aorta e a artéria mesentérica superior. Quando sintomático, designa-se síndrome de nutcracker. Os sintomas/sinais estão relacionados com o desenvolvimento de hipertensão venosa renal e o diagnostico depende da conjugação da clínica e alterações laboratoriais na presença de critérios imagiológic...
Endovascular approach as first-line therapy for congenital arteriovenous malfor...
Pinelo,Andreia; Loureiro,Luís; Almeida,Paulo; Mendes,Daniel; Veterano,Carlos; Castro,João; Rocha,Henrique; Almeida,RuiAbstract Introduction: Congenital vascular malformations are entities with a broad spectrum of presentations and variable prognosis. They typically present at a young age and are historically associated with extensive resection surgeries and with high morbidity. This study aims to evaluate the results of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) embolization as a first-line approach in lesions which are not suitable f...
Redefining late renal artery revascularization - splenorenal bypass in the trea...
Mendes,Daniel A.; Machado,Rui; Castro,João; Almeida,RuiAbstract Introduction: The ischemic window of kidney parenchyma is narrow, so a rapid development of renal infarction after acute renal artery occlusion is expected. However, patients often present with nonspecific symptoms and laboratory findings, making the early diagnosis challenging and contributing to treatment delay. Irreversible kidney dysfunction seems not to depend on the total warm ischemia time alone...
Venous bypass for iliofemoral venous occlusion: a possible answer for patients ...
Mendes,Daniel Azevedo; Machado,Rui; Veiga,Carlos; Rocha,Henrique; Almeida,RuiAbstract Introduction: Percutaneous endovenous treatment is the first-line therapy for chronic nonmalignant iliocaval venous obstruction (ICVO) due to low morbidity and suitable medium and long-term results. Open surgical procedures are only used as a last resort therapy. However, there is a lack of updated data regarding surgical techniques and outcomes. We present two cases of surgical venous reconstructions ...

When synergic work between general and vascular surgeons makes the difference.
Santos,Marisa D.; Mendes,Daniel; Silva,Ezequiel; Brandão,Pedro; Veiga,Carlos; Antunes,Inês; Teixeira,Gabriela; Gaspar,Joana; Mesquita,IsabelAbstract Introduction: Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia (CMI) resulting from an impaired blood flow of the splanchnic organs is characterized by an insidious clinical course and is often an underestimated and undertreated disease. The natural history is progressive, caused by atherosclerosis progression in a polymorbidity and aging society. Due to collateralization, diffuse stenotic lesions can remain asymptomatic f...
