Mycotic Aneurysm in an Immunocompromised Patient with Pneumonia and Spondylodis...
Figueiredo, Adriana; Fidalgo, Helena; Tavares, Carolina; Gueifão, Inês; Gonçalves, Daniela; Alves, Gonçalo; Camacho, Nelson; Ferreira, Maria EmiliaBACKGROUND: 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...
Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia Under the Age of 50 – a Single-Center 12-Year...
Gueifão, Inês; Quintas, Anita; Soares Ferreira, Rita; Pais, Fábio; Ribeiro, Tiago; Cardoso, Joana; Fidalgo, Helena; Ferreira, Maria EmiliaINTRODUCTION: Premature peripheral artery disease (PAD), defined as occurring before or at the age of 50, is a poorly studied subset of PAD due to its low incidence. It has been associated with a higher risk of progression to chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), major adverse limb events and mortality. Etiology is multifactorial, with genetics and environmental causes at play, with the most common risk fac...
A Giant Arteriovenous Malformation of the Abdominal Wall
Figueiredo, Adriana; Gueifão, Inês; Fidalgo, Helena; Tavares, Carolina; Amaral, Carlos; Ferreira, Rita; Borges, Nuno; Ferreira, Maria EmiliaINTRODUCTION: Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) are high-fow anomalous connections between the arterial and venous systems composed of dysplastic vessels resulting from aberrant angiogenesis. They are congenital and when symptomatic they rarely manifest before adolescence. Depending on the location, size, stage and severity of the symptoms, treatment options vary from conservative management to surgical resect...
Giant Renal Tumor with Inferior Vena Cava Thrombus – a Case Report
F. Ribeiro, Tiago; Soares Ferreira, Rita; Garcia, Rita; Bento, Rita; Fidalgo, Helena; Ferrito, Fernando; Aragão de Moraisa, José; Ferreira, Maria EmiliaINTRODUCTION: Vascular migration and venous tumor thrombus are infrequent but unique aspects of renal cell carcinoma, and these features have signifcant therapeutic and prognostic implications. We report a case of renal neoplasm with a vena cava tumor thrombus treated with surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. CASE REPORT: A 53-year-old, otherwise healthy woman presented to the emergency department due ...
Comparing outcomes after open and endovascular chronic mesenteric ischemia reva...
Fidalgo, Helena; Ribeiro, Tiago; Pais, Fábio; Cardoso, Joana; Tavares, Carolina; Correia, Ricardo; Gonçalves, Daniela; Ferreira, Maria EmíliaINTRODUCTION: 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 presentation...

Intravascular Lithotripsy For Severe Peripheral Artery Calcification – A 3-Year...
Gueifão, Inês; Correia, Ricardo; Quintas, Anita; Ribeiro, Tiago; Cardoso, Joana; Fidalgo, Helena; Figueiredo, Adriana; Ferreira, Maria EmíliaIntroduction: Severe arterial calcification is a challenging limitation in endovascular procedures leading to worse success rates and outcomes. Conventional balloon angioplasty may provide limited luminal gain, calling for adjunctive strategies of plaque modification, such as intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). The aim of this study is to describe our institutional experience with IVL in the treatment of periphera...
