Light induced amaurosis: a rare symptom of carotid stenosis
Almeida,Henrique Andrade de; Teixeira,Sérgio; Loureiro,Luís; Veiga,Carlos; Mendes,Daniel; Veterano,Carlos; Rocha,Henrique Guedes da; Castro,João DiogoAbstract Introduction: Light induced amaurosis refers to a transient monocular or binocular vision loss triggered by bright lights. Like amaurosis fugax, light induced amaurosis is associated with carotid artery stenosis but they differ from each other in presentation and pathophysiology. It is thought to be an impairment in the regeneration of retinal visual pigments caused by the inability of carotid circulat...
Venous bypass for iliofemoral venous occlusion: a possible answer for patients ...
Mendes,Daniel Azevedo; Machado,Rui; Veiga,Carlos; Rocha,Henrique; Almeida,RuiAbstract Introduction: Percutaneous endovenous treatment is the first-line therapy for chronic nonmalignant iliocaval venous obstruction (ICVO) due to low morbidity and suitable medium and long-term results. Open surgical procedures are only used as a last resort therapy. However, there is a lack of updated data regarding surgical techniques and outcomes. We present two cases of surgical venous reconstructions ...

Endovascular treatment of retrograde fed bilateral iliac artery aneurysms 10 ye...
Veiga,Carlos; Rego,Duarte; Silva,Ivone; Mendes,Daniel; Veterano,Carlos; Rocha,Henrique; Castro,João; Pinelo,Andreia; Almeida,Henrique; Vaz,CarolinaAbstract Introduction: The development of aneurysms in iliac arteries excluded from high-pressure direct flow from the aorta is very uncommon. We report a case of successful treatment of bilateral metachronous iliac artery aneurysms (MIA), found 10 years after an aortobifemoral bypass, with perfusion only by retrograde flow from the common femoral arteries (CFA). Case Report: A 76-year-old man came for consulta...
In situ lesser saphenous vein bypass through a posterior approach: an underesti...
Rocha,Henrique; Antunes,Inês; Rego,Duarte; Veiga,Carlos; Mendes,Daniel; Veterano,Carlos; Castro,João; Pinelo,Andreia; Almeida,Henrique; Vaz,CarolinaAbstract Introduction: In situ lesser saphenous vein (LSV) graft has been advocated in cases of lower limb revascularization where target arteries are confined to the lower leg and the greater saphenous vein (GSV) is neither available nor suitable. This often occurs in diabetic or end-stage renal diseased patients, whose occlusive disease pattern typically affects the tibioperoneal vessels, sparing the femoropo...

Mendes,Daniel; Machado,Rui; Veiga,Carlos; Veterano,Carlos; Rocha,Henrique; Castro,João; Pinelo,Andreia; Almeida,Henrique; Almeida,Rui deAbstract Introduction: Renal artery aneurysms are rare clinical entities whose treatment criteria are not fully established. Endovascular treatment has gained acceptance in the case of renal artery trunk aneurysms. However, in the case of aneurysms of the renal artery branches, such procedures are often impossible due to high morbidity, so the question remains about the best treatment modality. We present a cli...
