Management of Spontaneous Aortic Thrombus Following Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy in Urothelial Cancer: A Case Report.

Spontaneous aortic thrombosis is exceedingly rare, and optimal treatment remains uncertain. We present an unusual case of a spontaneous aortic thrombus at the renal artery level in a patient undergoing active cisplatin treatment for urothelial carcinoma. Management included catheter-directed thrombolysis followed by thrombectomy.

Comparison of Aortobifemoral Bypass and Endovascular Treatment for Chronic Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Occlusion From the CHAOS (ronic bdominal Aortic cclusion, Aian Multicenter) Registry.

Purpose: To directly compare the clinical outcomes of aortobifemoral bypass surgery (ABF) and endovascular treatment (EVT) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the infrarenal abdominal aorta (IAA).

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective, multicenter study, we used an international database of 436 patients who underwent revascularization for CTO of the IAA between 2007 and 2017 at 30 Asian cardiovascular centers. After excluding 52 patients who underwent axillobifemoral bypass surgery, 384 patients (139 ABFs and 245 EVTs) were included in the analysis.

Aortic endograft infection secondary to : A case report and review of the literature.

Aortic graft infection is a rare complication after endovascular aneurysm repair that is usually caused by gram-positive organisms such as spp or gram-negative organisms such as or spp. We have presented a unique case of a patient with acute graft infection secondary to Because treatment of infections is challenging owing to its inherent resistance to multiple antibiotics, we have proposed an approach for managing similar cases in the future. Lifestyle advice on avoiding soil exposure in the postoperative period after endovascular aneurysm repair might be an important preventative measure in endemic regions.

Use of the Gastroduodenal Artery in Hepatic Artery Reconstruction for Iatrogenic Hepatic Artery Injury During Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Iatrogenic injury of the hepatic artery is a potential hazard of hepatopancreatobiliary and gastric surgery. Prompt recognition and specialist management is paramount to limit morbidity for the patient. Several reconstruction options have been reported in the literature, but the optimum approach should be tailored to the individual patient bearing in mind variations in anatomy, clinical conditions, and other concurrent operative interventions.

Maximally Disfiguring Surgery for Forefoot Osteomyelitis: Time for a Rethink?

The treatment of choice for diabetic foot osteomyelitis is surgical debridement and targeted antibiotics with or without revascularization, depending on vascular status. In our society, debridement is done by either a vascular or orthopedic surgeon, and the common teaching is that generous amputation of bone with the accompanying soft tissue envelope is essential for adequate source control and to prevent recurrence (which remains as high as 30% even with this approach). Most of our patients undergo formal ray amputation through the metatarsal neck, while a few get digital amputations through the interphalangeal joints.

Homemade Candy Plug Using a Zenith Alpha Thoracic Stent-Graft for False Lumen Distal Occlusion in Acute-on-Chronic Type B Aortic Dissection.

To report a candy-plug technique using a Zenith Alpha stent-graft to occlude the distal false lumen in a patient with a complicated chronic type B aortic dissection. A 50-year-old male smoker presented with chest pain due to rapidly growing complicated chronic type B aortic dissection. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed the dissection extending from distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery (LSA) down to the left femoral artery.

Limb Stent Occlusion from Intraoperative Nellix Stent Migration and Prolapse.

Background: Incidence of Nellix stent migration is uncommon despite the absence of a proximal fixation mechanism. We present a case of intraoperative Nellix stent migration to highlight the potential complications. Our patient had renal artery occlusion and threatened limb stent perfusion as a result of intraoperative stent migration, with resultant prolapse of the Nellix endobag.

A Rare Case of Multifocal Papillary Thyroid Cancer in Bilateral Thyroid Cysts.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) can present as a thyroid cyst. In its more aggressive form, PTC may be multifocal in nature and is associated with a poorer prognosis. In patients whom PTC is diagnosed incidentally after a diagnostic lobectomy, the decision whether to offer completion thyroidectomy is sometimes challenging to make if such patients fall in the 'low-to-intermediate' risk category.

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the neck - A case report.

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma very rarely affect the neck. We report a case of a 62year old man who presented with a right sided skin lump which he noticed after sustaining a neck contusion in a road traffic accident about one year ago. The initial CT and ultrasound scans of the lump were suggestive of a thrombosed varix.

A case report of an anterior tibial artery pseudo-aneurysm open surgical management: A rare complication post total knee arthroplasty.

Introduction: Complications involving injury to neurological and vascular structures are infrequently reported after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). They are associated with significant morbidity and can be limb threatening.

Presentation Of Case: We present a patient with an anterior tibial artery (ATA) aneurysm post total knee arthroplasty.

Repair of a complex post-EVAR type III endoleak using a chimney aortouniiliac stent graft and femorofemoral crossover bypass.

Post-EVAR type III endoleaks present a particular challenge as they carry a significant risk of rupture. We present a case of an 81-year-old gentleman, 10 years post-EVAR, with complex type III endoleak with component separation that was successfully treated with a combination of left renal artery chimney, aortouniiliac stent grafting and femorofemoral crossover bypass.
