Endovascular aneurysm repair of aortocaval fistula presenting with lower limb edema: A case report.

Aortocaval fistula (ACF) due to a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm is an uncommon medical condition that can be fatal if not diagnosed. ACF has several atypical signs and symptoms, making it challenging to diagnose, and an early diagnosis notably improves outcomes. We report a case of a 64-year-old man presenting with a 1-day history of lower back pain, hypotension, and lower limb edema.

Myocardial, renal and intestinal injury in liver resection surgery-A prospective observational pilot study.

Background: Post-operative organ complications in liver resection surgery are not uncommon. This prospective observational pilot study was performed to evaluate the incidence, degree and timing of myocardial, renal and intestinal injury in patients undergoing liver resection surgery using the low central venous pressure (LCVP) technique and the Pringle manoeuvre.

Methods: Blood samples were obtained before, during and after elective liver resection until post-operative day (POD) 5.
