Article Synopsis
- Cancer patients face a higher risk of venous thromboembolic events, and some chemotherapy drugs have been linked to these complications, although acute arterial ischemia is less commonly reported.
- In a study over 10 years at a university hospital, 16 out of 419 patients who underwent surgery for acute limb ischemia were found to have cancer, with common cases involving urogenital and lung cancers.
- The majority of these patients received surgical intervention, but there was a notable rate of limb loss and in-patient mortality, pointing to the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in improving survival chances.
Endovascular repair of para-anastomotic aortoiliac aneurysms.
Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol
November 2009
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of endovascular stent grafts in the treatment of para-anastomotic aneurysms (PAAs) as an alternative to high-risk open surgical repair. We identified all patients with previous open aortic aneurysm repair who underwent infrarenal endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) at our institution from June 1998 to April 2007. Patient demographics, previous surgery, and operative complications were recorded.
