Type III Endoleak Leading to Aortic Rupture After Endovascular Repair.

Endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm concerns the introduction of aortic endoprosthesis which aims to isolate aneurysm from the circulation. The leading complication of this technique is the endoleak which is defined by the persistence of blood flow within the aneurysm sac. The main risk is the rupture of the aorta which can jeopardize the vital prognosis of patient.

Introduction: Acute limb ischemia is rarely seen in periarteritisnodosa.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome: a case report with literature review.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome generally causes calf claudication in young active adult. It is resulting of the anatomical relationship between the popliteal artery and adjacent muscles or fibrous bands in the popliteal fossa. We present the case of a 36-year-old male with left calf claudication limb in whom popliteal artery entrapment syndrome was diagnosed, and successfully treated surgically.

Infrarenal Vena Cava Leiomyosarcoma Treated With Surgical Resection and Vascular Reconstruction.

Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava is a rare malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 39-year-old woman admitted for a surgical resection of a retroperitoneal mass revealed by pain localised in the right lumbar fossa. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a heterogeneous retroperitoneal mass compressing the inferior vena cava.

Sacciform aneurysm of the right common iliac artery in Behcet's disease treated with EVAR: Case report.

Introduction: Behcet's disease is a systemic vasculitis with vascular tropism usually manifested by phlebitis. Arterial manifestations are rare, most often result in aneurysms than occlusions. The objective of this article, is to relate our experience and pretherapeutic reasoning for the indication of an endovascular treatment of an atypical sacciform iliac aneurysm, in an elderly patient followed for Behcet's disease.

The interest of this article is the analysis of the different characteristics of this pathology based on the study of a case report and on a review of the literature.

Case Report: This is a 21-year-old patient admitted for the management of a severe polytrauma following a fall from a cliff, causing him paraplegia following a fracture of the dorsal spine which is objectified on the CT bodyscan, which also shows the presence of a localized dissection with ruptured false aneurysm of the isthmus.

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic: What management ?

• PCD is a serious disease, because of its important morbi-mortality. • The suspicion of COVID-19 in front of any severe deep vein thrombosis. • Aponeurotomy and rapid medical management of compartment syndrome, can reduce the morbidity and mortality of phlegmasia cerulea dolens.

[Acute localized dissection of the descending thoracic aorta: A diagnostic trap].

Localized dissection of the descending thoracic aorta; class 3 of the classification proposed by the European Society of Cardiology; is a short and limited length dissection involving the descending thoracic aorta. It is a rare and unrecognized variant that poses a clinical and radiological diagnostic challenge. Indeed, it is manifested by an aspecific clinical profile represented by the acute aortic syndrome and characterized by a confused radiological aspect that entangled with the other differential diagnoses.

Acute Abdominal Compartment Syndrome complicating a chronic mesenteric ischemia revascularization.

Background: Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a pathological condition that results from an increase in pressure within the abdomen associated with organ failure. It can be acute or chronic, primary or secondary. ACS poses a serious diagnostic challenge for physicians as the clinical presentation is varied and can mimic other medical pathologies.

The thrombosis of a 13 years old aneurysmal arteriovenous fistula.

A 46 years old female, with chronic stage renal failure for 15 years, presents to the emergency room with a thrombosis of her brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (functional for 13 years). The cephalic vein was aneurismal (6cm diameter) and the brachial artery was not dilated. After proximal and distal control of the brachial artery and the proximal cephalic vein, the aneurismal arteriovenous fistula was excise, the cephalic vein was ligatured, and the brachial artery was repaired with an end to end anastomosis.

Infective endocarditis in hemodialysis patients: A 10-year observational single center study.

Background: The incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) in chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients remains high, despite the preventive measures implemented by nephrologists, especially the rigorous respect of hygiene, the use of antibiotic locks for catheters and the use of tunneled catheters instead of non-tunneled.
