TURNER SYNDROME – AN UNUSUAL CAUSE FOR AORTIC DISSECTION
Augusto, Rita; Campos, Jacinta; Coelho, Andreia; Coelho, Nuno; Pinto, Evelise; Semião, Carolina; Ribeiro, João; Brandão, Daniel; Canedo, AlexandraTurner syndrome (TS) is a disorder of female development with cardinal features of short stature and congenital cardiovascular defects. Congenital or acquired cardiological problems occur commonly in TS, being potentially progressive and responsible for severe complications, such as aortic dissection in young women. Accordingly, we describe a case of type A aortic dissection occurring in a woman with TS, highli...
ARTERIAL VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS IN PERIPHERAL VENOARTERIAL EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBR...
Augusto, Rita; Passos Silva, Marisa; Campos, Jacinta; Coelho, Andreia; Coelho, Nuno; Semião, Ana Carolina; Brandão, Daniel; Canedo, AlexandraIntroduction: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has evolved as a life-saving measure for patients requiring emergent support of respiratory and cardiac function. The femoral artery is the standard site for vascular access when initiating adult venoarterial (VA) ECMO. Cannulation-related complications are a known source of morbidity and it has been speculated that patients undergoing ECMO via femoral ar...
POST-EVAR LIMB GRAFT KINKING — INTRA-OPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS
Coelho, Andreia; Lobo, Miguel; Nogueira, Clara; Campos, Jacinta; Augusto, Rita; Coelho, Nuno; Semião, Ana Carolina; Ribeiro, João PedroIntroduction: Endograft limb kinking remains one of the major causes of secondary interventions and rehospitalisation after Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). However, the importance of improving limb patency has received little focus. Endograft limb kinking also remains ill-defined, with considerable variability in the literature concerning its clinical presentation and natural history. The purpose of this p...
RETROGRADE APPROACH: GOING FURTHER IN ENDOVASCULAR TECHNIQUES DEDICATED TO CRIT...
Augusto, Rita; Campos, Jacinta; Coelho, Andreia; Coelho, Nuno; Pinto, Evelise; Semião, Ana Carolina; Ribeiro, João; Peixoto, João; Brandão, DanielIntroduction: Endovascular techniques have been revolutionizing the revascularization of patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI), showing consistently high limb salvage rates. However, endovascular recanalization of infrapopliteal occlusive disease can be technically demanding and the failure rate for these types of lesions is about 20%. In that case, an alternative vascular access may be require...
TYPE B AORTIC INTRAMURAL HEMATOMA – WHEN A SHEEP BECOMES A WOLF
Coelho, Nuno Henriques; Nogueira, Clara; Martins, Victor; Campos, Jacinta; Coelho, Andreia; Augusto, Rita; Pinto, Evelise; Semião, CarolinaIntroduction: Type B aortic intramural hematoma (B-IMH) has a complex and variable natural history: it can remain stable and resolve spontaneously or progress to dissection, aneurysm, ulcer or even rupture. The possibility of disease progression, frequently with mild or no symptomatology, poses a significant treatment dilemma. Clinical Case: We report a case of a 60 year-old-female diagnosed with an a...
PARALLEL GRAFT TECHNIQUE: UMA ALTERNATIVA PARA O TRATAMENTO DE PATOLOGIA DO ARC...
Augusto, Rita; Campos, Jacinta; Coelho, Andreia; Coelho, Nuno; Pinto, Evelise; Semião, Carolina; Ribeiro, João; Peixoto, João; Brandão, DanielTreatment of aortic pathologies involving the aortic arch represents a great challenge for vascular surgeons. Endografting techniques, comparing to open surgery, are less invasive approaches. However, an adequate proximal landing zone remains a challenge and, regarding this issue, parallel graft techniques represent a viable endovascular treatment option in patients with challenging aortic arch pathology by ext...
ENDOVASCULAR MANAGEMENT AND OUTCOMES OF VISCERAL ARTERIAL ANEURYSMS — SINGLE CE...
Coelho, Nuno Henriques; Campos, Jacinta; Coelho, Andreia; Augusto, Rita; Semião, Carolina; Pinto, Evelise; Ribeiro, João; Peixoto, João; Martins, VictorIntroduction: Over the past decade, endovascular treatment (EVT) is taking over visceral arterial aneurysms treatment considering its effectiveness, safety and minimal invasiveness. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated our department experience in visceral arterial aneurysms endovascular approach from 2009 to 2019. Results: From 2009 to 2019, nineteen visceral artery aneurysms were submitted to EVT (mean age 6...
PRE-OPERATIVE ANEMIA AS A PREDICTIVE MORBIDITY OUTCOME — A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYS...
Semião, Carolina; Nogueira, Clara; Campos, Jacinta; Coelho, Andreia; Augusto, Rita; Coelho, Nuno; Pinto, Evelise; Ribeiro, João; Peixoto, JoãoIntroduction: Anemia is associated with increased adverse outcomes during the early postoperative period because of high physiologic stress and increased cardiac demand. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between pre-operative anemia and morbi-mortality outcomes in patients undergoing elective carotid endarterectomy (CEA), open aortic repair (OAR) or endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdo...
RUPTURED POPLITEAL ARTERY ANEURYSM — AN UNCOMMON PRESENTATION
