Splenic artery aneurysms - a systematic review of the literature
Machado,Marta; Coelho,Andreia; Peixoto,João; Fernandes,Luís; Boal,Roberto; Basílio,Francisco; Carvalho,Patrícia; Guimarães,Beatriz; Brandão,PedroAbstract Introduction: Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are the most frequent (50 to 75%) abdominal visceral arterial aneurysms. In autopsy studies, the overall incidence is 0.01%, increasing to 10.4% with age. Due to their rarity, there is a lack of data, so we aimed to perform a systematic review of available SAA data.. Methods: A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. A literature ...
Endovascular treatment versus open surgery for iliac artery aneurysms: a system...
Machado,Marta; Coelho,Andreia; Peixoto,João; Fernandes,Luís; Basílio,Francisco; Carvalho,Patrícia; Brandão,Pedro; Canedo,AlexandraAbstract Introduction: Due to their relative rarity, the natural history of iliac artery aneurysms and treatment outcomes are poorly understood. However, IAA treatment has evolved, and nowadays, there are a variety of open surgery, endovascular therapy, and hybrid options. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of endovascular treatment versus open surgery for patients with iliac artery aneurysms. Methods: A ...

An unusual cause of haematuria - case report
Peixoto,João; Brandão,Pedro; Semião,Carolina; Fernandes,Luís; Canedo,AlexandraAbstract Introduction: The development of a uretero-arterial fistula (UAF) is a rare and life-threatening condition. Owing to its low prevalence, diagnosis and management remains a challenge for both urologists and vascular surgeons and UAF’s high mortality rates may be at least partially attributed to delayed diagnosis. We present a case of UAF in a patient with previous pelvic surgery and indwelling ureter ca...

Godeiro,Clecio; França,Carina; Carra,Rafael Bernhart; Saba,Felipe; Saba,Roberta; Maia,Débora; Brandão,Pedro; Allam,Nasser; Rieder,Carlos R. M.Abstract Background: Noninvasive stimulation has been widely used in the past 30 years to study and treat a large number of neurological diseases, including movement disorders. Objective: In this critical review, we illustrate the rationale for use of these techniques in movement disorders and summarize the best medical evidence based on the main clinical trials performed to date. Methods: A nationally represen...
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...

Machado,Marta; Coelho,Nuno; Maximiano,Pedro; Semião,Carolina; Peixoto,João; Fernandes,Luís; Brandão,Pedro; Canedo,AlexandraAbstract Introduction: Inferior vena cava agenesis is one of the most uncommon anomalies of this vessel, with an estimated prevalence of 0.0005-1% in the general population. However, around 5% of the patients younger than 30 years with a diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis have this anomaly. Methods and material: Report of two clinical cases of inferior vena cava agenesis with different clinical presentations. Cl...
Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome: A Rare Case of Prenatal Diagnosis
Coelho,Maria Liz; Soares,Elisa; Freixo,Marília; Brandão,Pedro; Marinho,Carla; Rocha,Juliana; Rodrigues,GraçaAbstract With the widespread uptake of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), a larger cohort of women has access to fetal chromosomal sex, which increases the potential to identify prenatal sex discordance. The prenatal diagnosis of androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is an incidental and rare finding. We wish to present the diagnosis of a prenatal index case after NIPT of cell-free fetal DNA and mismatch betw...

Sousa,Pedro Pinto; Nogueira,Clara; Brandão,Pedro; Canedo,AlexandraIntrodução: A maioria dos pseudoaneurismas (PSA) da artéria femoral profunda apresentam-se de forma assintomática ou através da presença de uma massa pulsátil. Clinicamente variáveis poderão desenvolver sintomas por compressão das estruturas adjacentes ou mesmo levar a choque hemorrágico, em caso de rutura. Relativamente à orientação terapêutica, quando sintomáticos deverão ser corrigidos. Contudo, nos casos as...
