In vivo exclusion of giant aortic thrombus: Transesophageal echocardiography in thoracic endovascular aortic repair: A case report: Transesophageal echocardiography in thoracic endovascular aortic repair: A case report.

We present the case of a 53-year-old patient with a giant floating thrombus in the aortic arch associated with proximal stenosis of the left subclavian artery diagnosed by multimodal imaging. Left carotid-subclavian shunt and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) were successful. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) played a substantial role in the safety and efficacy of the endovascular procedure and should be considered as an additional guide to fluoroscopy for this type of procedure.

Massive Pulmonary Embolism due to Inferior Vena Cava Thrombosis Related to Compression by Lumbar Artery Pseudoaneurysm. A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm (LAPA) is a pathology infrequently described in the literature. The most frequent complications are the expansion and rupture of the pseudoaneurysm. Reports of association between PE with LAPA have not yet been described.

Acute Limb Ischemia in a Peruvian Cohort Infected by COVID-19.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection can cause alterations in the coagulation mechanism conditioning thrombotic phenomena such as acute limb ischemia (ALI) as the only manifestation of the infection. The aim of the study was to describe clinical and surgical characteristics of a group of patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 who presented ALI in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic at Lima, Peru.

Methods: A multicenter, observational, and retrospective study was performed in six general hospitals, from March to July 2020.
