Civilian vascular trauma, treatment and outcome at a level 1-trauma centre.

Background: Outcomes after vascular injuries in wartime are well documented, but studies on vascular injuries in a civilian European populations are scarce.

Methods: A retrospective study on all adults admitted to a North-European level 1-trauma centre 2009-2018 with The Abbreviated Injury Scale-codes for non-iatrogenic vascular trauma (VT). Data were extracted from both national and regional trauma-registries, as well as patient charts.

Multiple arterial thromboemboli after COVID-19.

Background: We present the case of a man in his fifties who presented with bilateral lower extremity ischaemia three weeks after COVID-19 infection. The patient had known.

Case Presentation: On arrival at the emergency department his left lower extremity had reduced sensation but preserved motor function.

Spiral Vein Graft Technique for Popliteal Artery Aneurysms.

Introduction: In patients with popliteal artery aneurysm lacking a suitable vein for bypass, prosthetic graft, or endovascular stent graft are alternative treatment options. However, durability is limited. Construction of an autologous spiral vein graft has previously been used to replace infected aortic grafts and arteriovenous fistulas.

Strain Elastography Evaluation of Rectal Tumors: Inter- and Intraobserver Reproducibility.

Purpose: Elastography is a promising method for the identification and differentiation of malignant tissue in several organ systems. The primary aim was to evaluate the inter- and intraobserver reproducibility of endorectal strain elastography differentiation of adenomas and adenocarcinomas. The secondary aim was to compare the performance of strain elastography to endorectal ultrasonography (ERUS) examinations.
