[In situ management of late thrombosis of a renal graft vein in a patient with Cockett syndrome].

Late thrombosis of the renal graft vein is a rare complication that results in graft loss in the majority of cases. We describe the case of a 57-year-old female patient who had a kidney transplant 32 years ago and developed a late thrombosis of the graft vein, accompanied by extensive thrombosis in the common femoral and iliac veins. Risk factors included severe malnutrition, chronic inflammation due to an anal fistula, and Cockett syndrome.

Aortic Coarctation Stenting in Adolescents and Adults: A Single-Center Experience.

Purpose/background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the short and midterm results of aortic coarctation (AoCo) stenting in an adolescent and adult population.

Methods: All patients with a AoCo older than 14 years treated by stent placement between December 2000 and November 2016 were included in this study. Twenty-eight patients with an invasive peak systolic pressure gradient >20 mmHg were identified.

Comparison of different inflation times on the angiographic image after balloon angioplasty in the femoropopliteal segment: a prospective randomized clinical trial.

Background: Endovascular balloon angioplasty is a common practice to treat femoropopliteal arterial lesions. The precise balloon inflation duration to obtain the best lesion dilatation is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess angiographic images after 3- and 5-minute balloon inflation in femoropopliteal de-novo atherosclerotic lesions.

Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Alone Does Not Guarantee Spinal Cord Protection After Complex Aortic Aneurysm Repair.

Introduction: Spinal cord ischaemia (SCI) is a devastating complication of the treatment of thoraco-abdominal aneurysms. Peri-operative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage, typically using a spinal catheter, is a possible preventive measure. There are no reports or guidelines on peri-operative CSF drainage for this indication in patients with a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt.
