Fidalgo,Helena; Ribeiro,Tiago; Pais,Fábio; Cardoso,Joana; Tavares,Carolina; Correia,Ricardo; Gonçalves,Daniela; Ferreira,Maria EmíliaAbstract Introduction: Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare but life-threatening disease. This study aimed to analyze the safety and effectiveness of open (OR) and endovascular (ER) revascularization and respective outcomes in a consecutive series of CMI patients. Methods: From 2013 to 2023, all CMI patients treated with OR and ER were retrospectively identified. Demographics, comorbidities, clinical pre...
The role of femoropopliteal calcification pattern on outcomes after endovascula...
Araújo,Gonçalo; Correia,Ricardo; Ribeiro,Tiago; Cardoso,Joana; Fidalgo,Helena; Tavares,Carolina; Ferreira,Maria EmíliaAbstract Introduction: Peripheral arterial calcification is typically most prominent in the femoropopliteal (FP) segment, and its effect on endovascular treatment (EVT) processes and outcomes is poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the pattern of FP calcification on EVT outcomes. Methods: We designed a retrospective, single-center, comparative study. From January 2023 to February 2024, ...

The incidence of rupture is greater than that of degenerative aneurysms and is associated with a high mortality rate. Case report: We report the case of a 58-year-old man with a known history of HIV infection with good immunovirological staging, treated squamous cell carcinoma of the ana...
A giant arteriovenous malformation of the abdominal wall
Figueiredo,Adriana; Gueifão,Inês; Fidalgo,Helena; Tavares,Carolina; Amaral,Carlos; Ferreira,Rita; Borges,Nuno; Ferreira,Maria EmíliaAbstract Introduction: Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) are high-flow anomalous connections between the arterial and venous systems composed of dysplastic vessels resulting from aberrant angiogenesis.

Depending on the location, size, stage and severity of the symptoms, treatment options vary from conservative management to surgi...
Uma disseção muito complicada: um caso clínico
Tavares,Carolina; Pinto,Vanda; Figueiredo,Adriana; Fidalgo,Helena; Alves,Gonçalo; Garci,Ana Catarina; Ferreira,Maria EmíliaResumo Introdução: A disseção aórtica aguda tipo B (DAAB) é uma síndrome aórtica aguda que apresenta elevada taxa de mortalidade. Atualmente, na fase aguda, preconiza-se o tratamento médico nos casos de DAAB não complicada, ficando a cirurgia reservada para os casos de DAAB complicada (rutura, síndrome de malperfusão, dor/hipertensão refratária, expansão rápida ou progressão proximal/distal). A cirurgia endovas...
