Penetrating Vascular Injuries of the Lower Limbs after Stab Wounds: Predictive Factors of Limb Loss and Mortality.

Penetrating vascular injuries (PVIs) of the lower limbs due to stab wounds are associated with high mortality and limb loss rates. We analyzed the outcomes of a series of patients who underwent surgical treatment of these lesions, assessing the presence of any factor associated with limb loss and mortality; (2) Methods: Data of patients admitted from 01/2008 to 12/2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Primary outcomes were the limb loss and the mortality rate at 30 days postoperatively.

Femoral tripod arteries: Surgical anatomic variants.

Aim: To describe the surgical anatomy of the femoral tripod arteries and their anatomical variants.

Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent vascular surgery by external arciform approach of the Scarpa between May 2022 and July 2022 were selected. The surgical anatomy was assessed by direct observation.

Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysms in patients affected by osteochondroma.

Although exostosis or osteochondroma is a common bone tumor, associated vascular complications are rare. Clinical and radiological diagnoses are sometimes challenging, and there is no codification for surgical management. We report two cases of popliteal arterial pseudoaneurysms due to osteochondroma of the distal femur.

La pseudo-tumeur inflammatoire de localisation cardiaque est une entité rare et bénigne. Elle peut souvent mimer une tumeur maligne dans sa présentation clinique et radiologique, pouvant entrainer un retard diagnostic. Nous rapportons le cas d'un patient âgé de 20 ans, sans antécédents médicaux, admis dans le service pour l'exploration d'une fièvre prolongée.
