Skin Ulceration and Exposure of Herograft
Cruz Silva, Joana; Moreira, MárioA 57 year-old catheter dependent dialysed woman with systemic erithematous lupus and central vein stenosis underwent HeRO graft placement in right internal jugular vein. In the next months she had multiple arm infections and venous outflow component was removed after impossibility to perform second thrombectomy at 14 months.

MYCOTIC EXTRACRANIAL CAROTID ARTERIES ANEURYSMS – SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LITE...
Lima, Pedro; Moreira, Mário; Correia, Mafalda; Pereira, Bárbara; Silva, Joana; Constâncio, Vânia; Gonçalves, Anabela; Fonseca, ManuelIntroduction: Mycotic extracranial carotid artery aneurysms are extremely unusual, with only around 100 cases published in the literature. They represent a challenge due to delayed presentations, possible catastrophic consequences if left untreated, as well as high morbidity after surgical management. Knowledge about infectious aneurysms on this territory remains limited to case reports. Thus, the authors prete...
THE IMPACT OF PATIENT TRANSFER AFTER RUPTURE OF AN ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM
Varino, Juliana; Vale-Pereira, Ricardo; Moreira, Mário; Pereira, Bárbara; Correia, Mafalda; Lima, Pedro; Silva, Joana; Constâncio, VâniaObjective: determine whether patient transfer adversely affects the survival of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) patients after conventional surgery. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all patients undergoing attempted repair of an rAAA at a tertiary center, over January 2008 and December 2014. Patients were divided into those presenting directly to our center and those transferred from an...
UNUSUAL PRESENTATION OF RUPTURED ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM
