Finger SBP measurement as a way to manage hypertension in patients with markedly calcified arteries: a case report.

Overestimation of blood pressure (BP) resulting from medial artery calcification (MAC) is a cause of pseudoresistant hypertension. In this condition, there is no noninvasive way to reliably assess the BP. We report the case of a 62-year-old man who had a four-limb MAC, hypertension despite five antihypertensive molecules, and significant orthostatic hypotension following the addition of the fifth drug.

Bilateral superficial temporal vein thrombosis after acute carbon monoxide poisoning and prolonged immobilisation: a case report.

A prolonged stay on the ground after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (COP) is a high-risk situation for venous thromboembolism (VTE), but unusual-site venous thrombosis is rare in this setting. An 81-year-old woman with no personal or family history of VTE who lied on the ground for several hours following massive COP had painful and oedematous temples, so a Doppler ultrasound was prompted and revealed a bilateral superficial temporal vein (STV) thrombosis. There was no heart failure, trauma, inflammatory disease, infection, or vascular malformation.

Acute Thrombosis of an Aneurysm of the Small Saphenous Vein: A Case Report.

Background: A venous aneurysm (VA) is a focal dilatation of a nonvariceal vein (diameter increased by at least 1.5 times compared to the adjacent upstream or downstream venous segment), which carries a risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) when located in the deep veins of the lower limbs but also when it affects the veins above the muscle fascia.

Case: We report the case of a 40-year-old woman who presented with a painful and disabling mass-like lesion of the upper third of the right calf.
