Comparing outcomes after open and endovascular chronic mesenteric ischemia reva...

Abstract 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...

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia under the age of 50 - a single-center 12-year...

Abstract Introduction: 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...

The role of femoropopliteal calcification pattern on outcomes after endovascula...

Abstract 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, ...

Giant renal tumor with inferior vena cava thrombus - a case report

Abstract Introduction: Vascular migration and venous tumor thrombus are infrequent but unique aspects of renal cell carcinoma, and these features have significant 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 depar...

Mycotic aneurysm in an immunocompromised patient with pneumonia and spondylodis...

Abstract 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 ana...

A giant arteriovenous malformation of the abdominal wall

Abstract Introduction: Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) are high-flow 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 surgi...

Uma disseção muito complicada: um caso clínico

Resumo 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...

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

Resumo Introducão: 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 um novo m...

Risk of death after paclitaxel exposure during femoropopliteal artery Angioplas...

Abstract Paclitaxel molecule has been on the market since 1991 and is indicated for the treatment of multiple neoplasms. Since 2012 has been used in endovascular devices for the treatment of peripheral artery disease and have become a mainstay in the treatment of symptomatic femoro-popliteal lesions, in particular for preventing arterial restenosis. They have a proven benefit in patency and freedom-from re-inte...
