Introduction Portugal has one of the highest prevalence of patients on a regular dialysis program. This population has a higher incidence of peripheral arterial disease with higher rates of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Our goal was to compare outcomes between dialysis and non-dialysis patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) submitted to infrapopliteal bypass. Materials and Methods A ret...
Introduction: Aortic graft infection (AGI) is a life-threatening condition and a therapeutic challenge for vascular surgeons. We report a case of a complex AGI managed by a hybrid and staged strategy.Methods: Data related to the present case report were collected from hospital medical records.Results: A 51-year-old male patient, submitted 5 years ago to prosthetic aorto-bifemoral and superior mesenteric ar...
Previously considered a rare clinical condition, the development of more sophisticated imaging methods and endovascular intervention for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) led to a more frequent identification of May-Thurner Syndrome. We present a 68 years-old woman with history of chronic pain and edema in the left lower limb and a CT-scan finding of left common iliac vein compression. Phlebography confirmed a steno...
Pectus excavatum is the most common deformity of the thorax. A minimally invasive surgical correction is commonly carried out to remodel the anterior chest wall by using an intrathoracic convex prosthesis in the substernal position. The process of prosthesis modeling and bending still remains an area of improvement. The authors developed a new system, i3DExcavatum, which can automatically model and bend the bar...
