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...
AORTIC MURAL THROMBUS
Varino, Juliana; Rodrigues, Roger; Pereira, Bárbara; Moreira, Mário; Gonçalves, ÓscarAortic mural thrombus is a rare clinical finding in the absence of aneurysm or atherosclerosis but an important source of noncardiogenic emboli with a difficult diagnosis and a high rate of complications, including high mortality. It appears to occur more frequently in young adults usually with underlying pro-thrombotic disorder. With the increasing use of high resolution imaging, the asymptomatic mural thrombu...
NOVA MUTAÇÃO DO GENE SDHD EM PACIENTES COM PARAGANGLIOMAS DO CORPO CAROTÍDEO
Rodrigues, Roger; Almeida, Maria; Carreiro, João; Mendes, Carolina; Varino, Juliana; Marinho, André; Pereira, Bárbara; Moreira, Mário; Botelho, MafaldaParagangliomas (PGLs) are neuroendocrine neoplasms that can occur throughout the body wherever there is paraganglia. Representing 0.03% of all tumours, PGLs are extremely rare. Although predominantly benign and amenable to cure by surgical ressection, up to 6% can be malignant. To date, three genes have been identified that are associated with Familial PGLs. All three encode subunits (D, B and C) of the enzyme ...
RADIAL ARTERY MYOCOTIC ANEURYSM SECONDARY TO STREPTOCOCCUS BOVIS ENDOCARDITIS
Mendes, Carolina Lobo; Rodrigues, Roger; Marinho, André; Varino, Juliana; Antunes, Luís; Albuquerque Matos, António; Gonçalves, ÓscarPeripheral mycotic aneurysms are rare complications of infective endocarditis. The case of a 49-year-old man with a radial artery aneurysm in a context of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus bovis in the postoperative period of mechanical aortic valve replacement by homograft is reported. After diagnostic confirmation by Doppler scan, we chose to resect the aneurysmal sac with termino-terminal anasto...
ISCHAEMIA IN THE NEONATE–CASE REPORT
Rodrigues, Roger; Anacleto, Gabriel; Mendes, Carolina; Varino, Juliana; Marinho, André; Pereira, Bárbara; Moreira, Mário; Correia, Mafalda; Lima, PedroIntroduction: Peripheral ischaemia and gangrene in a neonate is rare,with fewer than a hundred cases reported in the literature. Neonatal limb ischaemia present considerable challenges in diagnosis and management. The published literature is limited to case reports and case series and there are no large trials comparing different therapies. Objectives: The authors describe the case of a 4-day newborn transferre...
SHORT AND LONG TERM MORTALITY RATES AFTER MAJOR LOWER LIMB AMPUTATION IN PATIEN...
Varino, Juliana; Mendes, Carolina; Marinho, André; Rodrigues, Roger; Pereira, Bárbara; Moreira, Mário; Correia, Mafalda; Antunes, LuísIntroduction: Mortality rates after lower limb amputation are notoriously high and age is associated with increased mortality. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine mortality rates after a first major lower limb amputation in a cohort of patients older 80 years old. Methods: We performed an analysis of factors affecting early and late outcome after major lower limb amputation for peripheral vascu...
IMPACT OF TYPE-II ENDOLEAK ON ANEURYSM SAC IN A SINGLE CENTER
Varino, Juliana; Vale Pereira, Ricardo; Mendes, Carolina; Marinho, André; Rodrigues, Roger; Gonçalves, Anabela; Antunes, Luís; Marques, MargaridaObjective: Type 2 endoleak occurs in up to 30% of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), but its long-term significance continues to be one of the most controversial topics. We reviewed our experience to evaluate late outcomes associated with type 2 endoleak. Methods: Between January 2008 to December 2014, 57 patients undergoing EVAR were enrolled in the presenting study. Computed tomography (angioCT) scan assess...
SUPERFICIAL TEMPORAL ARTERY PSEUDOANEURYSM
Lobo Mendes, Carolina; Marinho, André; Varino, Juliana; Antunes, Luís; Albuquerque Matos, António; Gonçalves, ÓscarPseudoaneurysms of the superficial temporal artery are uncommon but mainly result secondary to blunt or penetrating trauma of the frontotemporal region of the head. The authors report a clinical case of a young male with a false aneurysm of superficial temporal artery. Five weeks before he had a blunt trauma of the head. The authors did surgical resection via proximal and distal artery ligation.; Os pseudoaneur...
