Superior mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm rupture: a rare complication of pancr...

Abstract Pseudoaneurysms after gastro-intestinal tract surgery are rare. Most of them occur after biliary tract and pancreatic surgery. They can lead to potentially serious consequences, such as rupture, hemorrhage and death. For these reasons, pseudoaneurysms should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.

Traumatic popliteal artery injury - a rare lesion that can’t be missed

Abstract Introduction: Traumatic popliteal artery injury is a rare clinical entity, but it is the most common cause of amputation in injured extremities. The aim of this study was to report the incidence of popliteal artery injury after knee trauma and report therapeutic management and results. Methods and material: ICD-10/ ICD-9 codes (S85.0/904.41; S83.1/836.5; S83.4; S83.5; S72,4/821.2; S82,1/823.0) were use...

Retrograde approach: going further in endovascular techniques dedicated to crit...

Introduction: 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...

Abordagem endovascular de aneurismas viscerais - experiência de um centro

Introdução: Ao longo da última década, a abordagem endovascular tem assumido um papel preponderante no tratamento dos aneurismas das artérias viscerais (AAVs). Esta mudança de paradigma tem em conta a eficácia, a segurança e o facto de o tratamento endovascular ser menos invasivo quando comparada com a cirurgia clássica. Reportamos a experiência do nosso centro no tratamento endovascular de AAVs. Métodos: Revim...

Parallel graft technique: an alternative procedure to treat the aortic arch

Treatment 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...

Emergency arterial embolization for acute renal hemorrhage

Pre-operative anemia as a predictive morbidity outcome - A retrospective analys...

Introduction: 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...

Internal carotid pseudoaneurysm caused by migration of a coronary guidewire fra...

Introduction: Guidewire fracture is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Retained fragments can cause thrombosis, dissection, perforation of the vessel or embolize. When is impossible to withdraw or to trap the fragment during the procedure, management is debatable between surgical removal or conservative approach. When choosing to leave the fragment in place, the patient remains at ...

EVAR post-implantation syndrome - can hematological values help us?

Abstract Introduction: Post-implantation syndrome (PIS) is the clinical and biochemical expression of an inflammatory response following endovascular repair of an aortic aneurysm (EVAR). The reported incidence in literature varies from 14-60%. Recentently, a study has demonstrated that red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is an independent biomarker predictor of the PIS in patients submitted to EVAR in the e...

Prognostic impact of preoperative inflammatory biomarkers in acute limb ischemi...

Abstract Introduction: In many areas of Medicine, biomarkers have been proving their value in disease management. The inclusion of inflammatory biomarkers in acute limb ischemia (ALI) decision-making remains debatable due to the scarce literature evidence. Nevertheless, much attention has been held towards the prognostic value of these simple, readily available and low-cost biomarkers might have. Therefore, thi...
