Surgical treatment of arteriovenous malformations of the buttock.

For symptomatic buttock arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), embolization techniques and surgical resection have been suggested as treatment options. Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility and long-term results after a single surgical resection. Twelve patients had undergone surgical resection without preoperative embolization.

Surgical resection of venous malformations of the forearm.

We retrospectively reviewed 35 patients with venous malformations located in the forearm and treated by surgery in a single institution during the period 2010-19. The common complaints were pain and swelling (34 patients) and impaired function with contractures of fingers (15 patients). Twenty-four had complete resection and 11 had an incomplete resection.

[Classification of vascular tumours and vascular malformations. Contribution of the ISSVA 2014/2018 classification].

The study of vascular anomalies, "angiomas", vascular tumours and vascular malformations is made difficult by the great variety and confusion of the names used in the literature for these diseases, some of which are rare. The great merit of the classification proposed by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA), adopted in 2014 and modified in 2018, is to propose a unambiguous nomenclature and to try to group these lesions in a logical way, contrasting with the lists of the usual "classifications". This classification is based on the distinction between proliferative lesions (tumours and reactive lesions) and those which are due to a congenital anomaly of vascular morphogenesis (vascular malformations).

Surgical treatment of vulvar venous malformations without preoperative sclerotherapy: Outcomes of 18 patients.

Background: Our aim was to evaluate the benefit of surgical resection of the venous malformations (VMs) of the external female genitalia.

Methods: Over the period of 2009-2019, 18 consecutive females underwent surgical resection for vulvar VM. Evaluations included preoperative Doppler ultrasound, MRI, and pre-and postoperative photographic imaging.

Intramuscular venous malformations of the calf: Surgical treatment outcomes of 57 patients.

Objectives: To report the outcomes of surgical treatment of calf intramuscular venous malformations (IMVMs) on pain, functional limitation, and quality of life.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 57 consecutive patients who had surgery for IMVM of the posterior compartment of the leg between 2010 and 2015. Treatments were all done at a single institution.

Surgical Treatment of Venous Malformations of the Knee: Treatment Outcomes for 35 Patients.

Background: The place of open surgery in venous malformations (VMs) of knee joint is still discussed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits of surgery in terms of pain, function, and quality of life.

Design: This was a retrospective observational study.

A Novel Technique of Ilio-Portal Venous Bypass to Relieve Symptoms of Pelvic Vein Congestion in a Patient with Inferior Vena Cava Agenesis.

A 37 year old man known to have inferior vena cava agenesis, presented to our center with severe symptoms of pelvic venous congestion. Surgical approach was attempted by creating a bypass between the right external iliac vein and the portal vein using an autogenous venous bypass (superficial femoral vein). Over a three year follow up, the bypass remained patent with complete resolution of symptoms.

Multiple tuberculous aneurysms of the aorta.

Tuberculous aneurysms of the aorta are quite rare, but are exceptional when found in multiple locations. We report the case of multiple tuberculous aortic aneurysms of the thoracic and abdominal aorta in a 19-year-old female discovered when she consulted for thrombocytopenic purpura. The treatment for both locations included prolonged antituberculous therapy and surgical resection with cryopreserved aortic allograft patch for the reconstruction.

A new therapeutic approach to congenital pelvic arteriovenous malformations.

Background: Internal iliac arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are difficult to treat. Arterial embolization is chosen in most cases but the angio-architecture of these arteriovenous shunts can provide an explanation for the several reported failures. We report the long-term results of peroperative intravenous embolization.

Superficial femoral artery autograft reconstruction for complicated popliteal artery entrapment syndrome.

We present an alternative surgical approach to popliteal artery entrapment syndrome with vascular complications in the absence of a suitable saphenous vein. Three patients (29, 35, and 78 years old) with thrombotic and/or aneurysmal lesions of the popliteal artery from popliteal artery entrapment syndrome were treated with superficial femoral artery autograft reconstruction. The procedure was performed through a medial approach.

Superficial femoral artery autograft reconstruction in the treatment of popliteal artery aneurysm: Long-term outcome.

Objective: This prospective, observational study evaluated the safety and efficacy of superficial femoral artery autograft reconstruction in the treatment of popliteal artery aneurysms in the absence of a suitable saphenous vein.

Methods: From March 1997 to April 2007, data from patients with popliteal artery aneurysms treated by superficial femoral artery reconstruction were prospectively collected in two centers. The procedure was performed through a medial approach.

Bilateral dissection of external iliac artery.

External iliac artery (EIA) dissection and especially bilateral involvement is very rare. We report the case of a 49-year-old male intense bicyclist who had presented a dissection of the left EIA responsible for claudication. He underwent an iliofemoral vein graft bypass.

Spontaneous dissection of branch renal artery- is conservative management safe and effective?

Purpose: We analyzed the long-term results of conservative management for spontaneous branch renal artery dissection.

Materials And Methods: In the last 6 years 8 patients were treated for acute spontaneous branch renal artery dissection at our department. The diagnosis was established by angiography, which showed primary branch artery dissection in all cases.

Totally laparoscopic assisted thoracic aorta endograft delivery by direct sheath placement into the aorta.

This report describes the treatment of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm with an endograft introduced through the infrarenal aorta by using the laparoscopic technique. The indication for infrarenal aorta access was the existence of heavy calcifications and stenosis of the both iliac arteries. We report what we think to be the first totally laparoscopic assisted thoracic aorta endograft delivery by direct sheath placement into the aorta.

Totally videoendoscopic descending thoracic aorta to femoral artery bypass.

Descending thoracic aorta to femoral artery bypass is an effective and safe procedure for the treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease when an approach to the abdominal aorta is undesirable. The major limitation of this technique has resulted from the morbidity rate associated with thoracotomy in a relatively high-risk vascular surgery population. As a minimally invasive procedure, videoendoscopy has been shown to improve the patient postoperative course and comfort in the field of general and thoracic surgery.
