Results of the first 1000 infra-renal aortic aneurysms included in the Portugue...
Nogueira, Clara; Coelho, Andreia; Gouveia e Melo, Ryan; Bastos Gonçalves, Frederico; Mendes Pedro, Luís; Quintas, Anita; Vaz, Carolina; Brandão, DanielINTRODUCTION: The Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) module of the Portuguese National Vascular Registry (RNPV) is a prospective, voluntary, population-based registry, that encompasses more than 90% of portuguese vascular departments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of the first 1000 infra-renal AAA included in the Portuguese RNPV. METHODS: Data were collected from November 2019 to December 2022 ...
RIGHT AORTIC ARCH ASSOCIATED WITH AGENESIS OF THE LEFT INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY ...
Augusto, Rita; Coelho, Nuno; Semião, Ana Carolina; Brandão, Daniel; Canedo, AlexandraIntroduction: A right aortic arch and agenesis of internal carotid artery (ICA) are both extremely rare vascular devel- opment anomalies. Etiology of the both anomalies might be associated with the abnormal regression of the dorsal aorta. Most cases of ICA are asymptomatic due to sufficient collateral circulation and it is usually an incident finding on head and neck imaging by color Doppler ultrasonography, co...
TURNER SYNDROME – AN UNUSUAL CAUSE FOR AORTIC DISSECTION
Augusto, Rita; Campos, Jacinta; Coelho, Andreia; Coelho, Nuno; Pinto, Evelise; Semião, Carolina; Ribeiro, João; Brandão, Daniel; Canedo, AlexandraTurner syndrome (TS) is a disorder of female development with cardinal features of short stature and congenital cardiovascular defects. Congenital or acquired cardiological problems occur commonly in TS, being potentially progressive and responsible for severe complications, such as aortic dissection in young women. Accordingly, we describe a case of type A aortic dissection occurring in a woman with TS, highli...
SUPERIOR MESENTERIC ARTERY PSEUDOANEURYSM RUPTURE: A RARE COMPLICATION OF PANCR...
Semião, Carolina; Branão, Daniel; Nogueira, Clara; Gouveia, Ricardo; Augusto, Rita; Coelho, Nuno; Pinto, Evelise; Ribeiro, João; Peixoto, JoãoPseudoaneurysms after gastro-intestinal tract surgery are rare. Most of them occur after biliary tract and pancreatic surgery. They can lead to potentially serious consequences, such as rupture, hemorrhage and death. For these reasons, pseudoaneurysms should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. ; A formação de pseudoaneurismas após cirurgia gastrointestinal é rara. A maioria ocorre após cirugia do...
EVAR POST-IMPLANTATION SYNDROME – CAN HEMATOLOGICAL VALUES HELP US?
Augusto, Rita; Coelho, Nuno; Semião, Ana; Pinto, Evelise; Ribeiro, João; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, Luís; Brandão, Daniel; Canedo, AlexandraIntroduction: Post-implantation syndrome (PIS) is the clinical and biochemical expression of an inflammatory response following endovascular repair of an aortic aneurysm (EVAR). The reported incidence in literature varies from 14-60%. Recentently, a study has demonstrated that red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is an independent biomarker predictor of the PIS in patients submitted to EVAR in the early post...
RADIAL PULSATILE MASS — APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING
Semião, Ana Carolina; Nogueira, Clara; Coelho, Andreia; Gouveia, Ricardo; Augusto, Rita; Coelho, Nuno; Pinto, Evelise; Ribeiro, João; Peixoto, JoãoAdventitial cystic disease (ACD) is a rare condition. It affects mostly the popliteal artery, with few cases reported affecting the radial artery. This condition is characterized by accumulation of mucinous content at the adventitious layer. ; A doença quística da adventícia é uma condição rara. Afecta sobretudo a artéria poplítea, com poucos casos relatados que afectem a artéria radial. Esta doença é car...
PROGNOSTIC IMPACT OF PREOPERATIVE INFLAMMATORY BIOMARKERS IN ACUTE LIMB ISCHEMI...
Coelho, Nuno Henriques; Augusto, Rita; Pinto, Evelise; Semião, Carolina; Ribeiro, João; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, Luís; Martins, Victor; Gregório, TiagoIntroduction: In many areas of Medicine, biomarkers have been proving their value in disease management. The inclusion of inflammatory biomarkers in acute limb ischemia (ALI) decision-making remains debatable due to the scarce literature evidence. Nevertheless, much attention has been held towards the prognostic value of these simple, readily available and low-cost biomarkers might have. Therefore, this review ...
BILATERAL ILIAC ANEURYSMS AND CONCOMITANT SEVERE MULTILEVEL OCCLUSIVE ARTERIAL ...
Coelho, Nuno; Brandão, Daniel; Gouveia, Ricardo; Martins, Victor; Augusto, Rita; Semião, Carolina; Ribeiro, João; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, LuísIntroduction: Severe ilio-femoral occlusive disease can limit the endovascular treatment of aorto-iliac aneurysms. In high surgical risk patients, inventive and staged hybrid interventions can be the answer to achieve definitive treatment. Clinical Case: A 68-year-old male, with multiple comorbidities, presented with simultaneous occurrence of bilateral common iliac aneurysms and severe ilio-femoral occlusive d...
ARTERIAL VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS IN PERIPHERAL VENOARTERIAL EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBR...
Augusto, Rita; Passos Silva, Marisa; Campos, Jacinta; Coelho, Andreia; Coelho, Nuno; Semião, Ana Carolina; Brandão, Daniel; Canedo, AlexandraIntroduction: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has evolved as a life-saving measure for patients requiring emergent support of respiratory and cardiac function. The femoral artery is the standard site for vascular access when initiating adult venoarterial (VA) ECMO. Cannulation-related complications are a known source of morbidity and it has been speculated that patients undergoing ECMO via femoral ar...
POST-EVAR LIMB GRAFT KINKING — INTRA-OPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS
Coelho, Andreia; Lobo, Miguel; Nogueira, Clara; Campos, Jacinta; Augusto, Rita; Coelho, Nuno; Semião, Ana Carolina; Ribeiro, João PedroIntroduction: Endograft limb kinking remains one of the major causes of secondary interventions and rehospitalisation after Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). However, the importance of improving limb patency has received little focus. Endograft limb kinking also remains ill-defined, with considerable variability in the literature concerning its clinical presentation and natural history. The purpose of this p...
