Peixoto, João; Brandão, Pedro; Castro-Ferreira, Ricardo; Semião, Carolina; Fernandes, Luis; Machado, Marta; Basilio, Francisco; Canedo, AlexandraINTRODUÇÃO: A doença quística adventicial é uma patologia que afeta principalmente o leito arterial, porém, em raros casos pode envolver o sistema venoso. O objetivo desta revisão foi padronizar a marcha diagnóstica, tratamento e vigilância de doentes com suspeita de doença quística adventicial venosa. MÉTODO: Para cumprir os objetivos supracitados, uma revisão narrativa sumarizando os principais a...
An unusual cause of haematuria - case report
Peixoto, João; Brandão, Pedro; Semião, Carolina; Fernandes, Luis; Canedo, AlexandraINTRODUCTION: The development of a uretero-arterial fistula (UAF) is a rare and life-threatening condition. Owing to its low prevalence, diagnosis and management remains a challenge for both urologists and vascular surgeons and UAF’s high mortality rates may be at least partially attributed to delayed diagnosis. We present a case of UAF in a patient with previous pelvic surgery and indwelling ureter catheter. C...
DIFFERENT CLINICAL PRESENTATIONS OF A RARE VENOUS MALFORMATION-INFERIOR VENA CA...
Machado, Marta; Coelho, Nuno; Maximiano, Pedro; Semião, Carolina; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, Luís; Brandão, Pedro; Canedo, AlexandraINTRODUCTION: Inferior vena cava agenesis is one of the most uncommon anomalies of this vessel, with an estimated prevalence of 0.0005–1% in the general population. However, around 5% of the patients younger than 30 years with a diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis have this anomaly. METHODS AND MATERIAL: Report of two clinical cases of inferior vena cava agenesis with different clinical presentations. CLINICAL CA...
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...
SUPERIOR MESENTERIC ARTERY PSEUDOANEURYSM RUPTURE: A RARE COMPLICATION OF PANCR...
Semião, Carolina; Branão, Daniel; Nogueira, Clara; Gouveia, Ricardo; Augusto, Rita; Coelho, Nuno; Pinto, Evelise; Ribeiro, João; Peixoto, JoãoPseudoaneurysms 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. ; A formação de pseudoaneurismas após cirurgia gastrointestinal é rara. A maioria ocorre após cirugia do...
PROGNOSTIC IMPACT OF PREOPERATIVE INFLAMMATORY BIOMARKERS IN ACUTE LIMB ISCHEMI...
Coelho, Nuno Henriques; Augusto, Rita; Pinto, Evelise; Semião, Carolina; Ribeiro, João; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, Luís; Martins, Victor; Gregório, TiagoIntroduction: 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, this review ...
BILATERAL ILIAC ANEURYSMS AND CONCOMITANT SEVERE MULTILEVEL OCCLUSIVE ARTERIAL ...
Coelho, Nuno; Brandão, Daniel; Gouveia, Ricardo; Martins, Victor; Augusto, Rita; Semião, Carolina; Ribeiro, João; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, LuísIntroduction: Severe ilio-femoral occlusive disease can limit the endovascular treatment of aorto-iliac aneurysms. In high surgical risk patients, inventive and staged hybrid interventions can be the answer to achieve definitive treatment. Clinical Case: A 68-year-old male, with multiple comorbidities, presented with simultaneous occurrence of bilateral common iliac aneurysms and severe ilio-femoral occlusive d...
HOME-MADE FROZEN STENTED ELEPHANT TRUNK FOR ACUTE ARCH DISSECTION: AN HYBRID OF...
Coelho, Nuno Henriques; Silveira, Diogo; Martins, Victor; Martins, Daniel; Paulo, Nelson; Semião, Carolina; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, LuísIntroduction: Involvement of the ascending/aortic arch in the thoracic aorta pathology can preclude thoracic endovas- cular aortic repair (TEVAR) due to the absence of an adequate proximal landing zone. Hybrid interventions combining ascending/aortic arch replacement with TEVAR of the descending thoracic aorta (DTA) are associated with good outcomes. Despite the existence of dedicated devices (E-vita®, Thorafle...
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...
