From April 21, 1982 to December 31, 1997, we performed 170 infrainguinal bypass procedures using isolated (n = 35) or composite (n = 135) venous allografts preserved at 4 degrees C as a substitute for saphenous autografts in 146 patients. The mean age of the patient population was 74 years. The indication was critical lower limb ischemia in 71% of cases.

When a major neurological deficit is involved, mortality can reach 16 to 55%, morbidity due to definitive deficit 40 to 69% and cure only 2 to 12%. It is thus logical to attempt revascularization as an emergency procedure.

- The study involved 135 carotid artery reconstructions under general anesthesia, primarily using continuous intraoperative Doppler monitoring of the middle cerebral artery in 119 cases.
- Out of 135 procedures, some cases showed limitations due to the absence of a visible temporal window and interpretability issues, leading to classifications of risk for cerebral ischemia during clamping based on flow velocity changes.
- Transcranial Doppler monitoring was found to be a reliable method for assessing middle cerebral artery flow, indicating low risk for complications during surgery and aiding in the detection of potential embolic events.
Single lymphangiomyoma, rarely encountered, is a form of lymphangiomyomatosis with characteristic proliferation of smooth muscle cells in lymph nodes and vessels. We observed a case in a 47-year-old woman with no past medical history. An echography performed for menorrhage revealed a single iliac localization in the right pelvis.
