Mycotic Aneurysm in an Immunocompromised Patient with Pneumonia and Spondylodis...

BACKGROUND: Mycotic aneurysm is a rare entity with rapid progression, which can be fatal without adequate treatment. 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 anal canal a...

Tratamento de pseudoaneurismas femorais com tumescência: uma revisão sistemátic...

INTRODUÇÃO: Com o crescente uso das técnicas endovasculares, seja para fins diagnósticos ou terapêuticos, o pseudoaneurisma iatrogénico da artéria femoral é uma complicação cada vez mais frequente. A par deste aumento de incidência foram surgindo alternativas à cirurgia convencional para o seu tratamento, nomeadamente soluções percutâneas e endovasculares. Em 2003 foi descrito pela primeira vez u...

Ascending Aortobifemoral and Adjunct Carotid Bypass Grafts.

We describe a case of simultaneous ascending aortobifemoral and right common carotid artery bypass to treat a symptomatic brachiocephalic artery and juxtarenal chronic total occlusion in a 68-year-old female patient with unfavorable characteristics for endovascular and standard aortofemoral procedures. Mid-term follow-up revealed sustained remission of symptoms, quality of life quality of life improvement, and ...

CLINICAL AND MUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF A COHORT OF PORTUGUESE PATIENTS WITH PARAGA...

Introduction: Representing 0.03% of all tumors, paragangliomas (PGLs) are extremely rare. During the past 15 years, there has been a significant progress in the knowledge of the genetics of PGLs. Germline mutations in succinate dehy- drogenase (SDH) genes are the commonest genetic cause of PGL. Objective: Given the high clinical relevance of the SDH status, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic val...

Cirurgia aberta de aneurisma da aorta abdominal por internos de cirurgia vascul...

INTRODUÇÃO: Nas últimas duas décadas, a abordagem de tratamento de aneurisma da aorta abdominal (AAA) mudou drasticamente de cirurgia aberta para cirurgia endovascular. A diminuição de cirurgia de AAA convencional , open aneurysm repair (OAR), levanta preocupações relativamente à competência dos futuros cirurgiões vasculares para executar este procedimento complexo e de alto risco. O principal objeti...

Off the Shelf Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair with Sandwich Technique for t...

Introduction: Penetrating aortic ulcers (PAUs) are the rarest subset of acute aortic syndromes, and a thoraco-abdominal (TA) location is uncommon. Endovascular surgery is considered first line treatment. Custom made branched/fenestrated endografts have been successfully applied in this disease but are unavailable in the urgent setting. Off the shelf solutions may be required in high risk patients. The case of a...

Intravascular foreign body retrieval

Introduction: Intravascular foreign body (IFB) embolization is a potential complication of any vascular procedure. Intravascular foreign body retrieval (IFBR) can be achieved using percutaneous techniques, open surgery, or both combined. Methods: We completed a retrospective review of patients who underwent endovascular or open IFBR since 2011 on our institution. Primary end-point was technical retrieval succes...

TRAUMATIC THORACIC AORTIC INJURY – A CASE SERIES: English

Introduction: Traumatic Thoracic Aortic Injury (TTAI) is a major cause of mortality in high-velocity trauma. While most cases result in instant death, TTAI may be present in patients with multiple traumatic injuries and therefore a high index of suspicion is necessary. Endovascular treatment offers significant advantages in this context and is now standard of care. The purpose of this study is to review our con...
