Case Presentation: We report the case of a 25-year-old male with history of back stab wound three months before being admitted to our unity.
The creation and preservation of vascular accesses, in patients with end-stage renal failure, remains a challenge for nephrologists and vascular surgeons. Native fistula is the best vascular access, humeral-basilic fistula is a precious access in patients who have exhausted their venous capital in the forearm and in whom the cephalic vein of the arm is small or damaged. Given its deep location, any puncture of this vein is prohibited before its superficialization, even if it is of good caliber, because it can have dramatic consequences, in particular the loss of the limb or even death.

Materials And Methods: Four patients with subclavian steal syndrome were treated in our center. Percutaneous radial approach was used for angioplasty, primary stenting of subclavian artery was performed, surgical techniques in particular carotid-subclavian bypass and carotid-subclavian transposition were used.

Presentation Of Cases: We describe 4 cases of AVFs complicating stab wounds of the lower limb, associated in 2 cases with pseudoaneurysms.
Arterial involvement in Behcet's disease is rare and the tibioperoneal trunk localisation is exceptional. We report the case of a young men with Behcet's disease and in whom the evolution to angiobehcet was unusual. The medical treatment and the therapeutic abstention were decided according to a bundle of argument.
