Unusual positional compression of the internal carotid artery causes carotid thrombosis and cerebral ischemia.

This article reports an unusual case of positional compression of internal carotid artery resulting in carotid thrombosis and stroke in a 37-year-old man. A patient was operated urgently for a free-floating thrombotic mass in the internal carotid artery. Open thrombectomy was performed in acute phase of stroke for prevention of the recapitulative cerebral thromboembolism.

Simultaneous approach of internal carotid artery revascularization at the base of the skull and coronary arteries bypass without extracorporeal circulation.

The best surgical approach for the treatment of patients with severe cerebral artery disease and simultaneous serious coronary artery disease remains controversial. In this report, we present a case of a 65-year-old man admitted to the hospital with unstable angina. Triple coronary artery obstructive disease and severe right internal carotid artery stenosis in the retroparotid region were diagnosed.

Surgical treatment of the great saphenous vein aneurysm resulting in pulmonary embolization in two patients.

Superficial venous aneurysms of the lower extremities are considered rare and their clinical significance is poorly defined. The pulmonary embolism arising from superficial venous aneurysms has been previously reported. In this article, we report two cases of great saphenous vein aneurysm that resulted in pulmonary embolism.

Surgical treatment of an Echinococcus cyst of the interventricular septum complicated by septic endocarditis, complete atrioventricular block, and rupture into the Valsalva sinus.

A 40-year-old man was emergently hospitalized because of high fever, a transient ischemic attack, and complete atrioventricular block. The diagnosis was endocarditis, cyst of the interventricular septum (IVS), and complete atrioventricular block. A temporary pacemaker was introduced, and the patient underwent surgery that included IVS cystectomy, ventricular septum plication, and aortic valve replacement.

Foot venous system arterialization for salvage of nonreconstructable acute ischemic limb: a case report.

Patients 73 years old man, was admitted to the Hospital with acute ischaemia of the left lower limb, pain started 4 days ago. Ultrasound investigation and lower limbs angiography were performed. Giant infrapopliteal aneurysm and thrombosis due to massive embolism of the crural and pedal arteries' was revealed.
