[Tuberculosis aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta treated by covered stent graft : A case report].

Tuberculous aneurysm is a rare but lethal disease. It preferentially affects the aorta. The contamination occurs either secondarily to a tuberculosis site in contact with the aorta or by blood contamination.

[Intracardiac migration of the ureteral single-J : A case report and removal techniques].

The techniques of derivation of the high urinary tract are indispensable in common practice for the management of ureteral obstructions. Like any surgical gesture, its techniques are not without complications; Among those common are hematuria, urinary incontinence, migration in the bladder and rupture of the probe. However, intracardiac probe migration has rarely been described.

[Case study of ruptured gastroduodenal artery aneurysm revealed by hematemesis].

Gastroduodenal artery aneurysm is a rare vascular lesion, asymptomatic in the majority of cases. However, ruptured aneurysm is associated with poor prognosis and mortality can achieve a 40% rate. We here report the case of an 83-year-old patient with abrupt onset of non-specific abdominal pain associated with hematemesis.

Hybrid open and endovascular treatment of an aortic arch pseudoaneurysm in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection.

We describe an hybrid approach for aortic pseudoaneurysm with open and endovascular treatment as an alternative treatment for a high-risk patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus. A 42-year-old man, serum positive for human immunodeficiency virus, presented, with a large pseudoaneurysm of the arch aorta measuring 61 × 70 mm. An aortic arch debranching was performed, completed by thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair.

Multiple Visceral Artery Aneurysms: An Uncommon Manifestation of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody Vasculitis.

The antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis mainly affect small vessels. They are an exceptional etiology of visceral artery aneurysms, which are themselves unusual and potentially serious vascular disease. We report the case of a patient followed for vasculitis associated with ANCA with kidney disease who presented with symptomatic aneurysm of the inferior mesenteric artery and aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery.

Pseudoaneurysm of the Posterior Tibial Artery After Posterior Tibial Tendon Transfer.

Pseudoaneurysm of the posterior tibial artery is an uncommon condition that, left untreated, can lead to hemorrhage, thrombosis, or emboli. We present the case of a 54-year-old male who developed pseudoaneurysm of the posterior tibial artery 4 months after undergoing tibialis posterior tendon transfer for management of peroneal nerve palsy, which had developed as a complication of hip arthroplasty.

Drop-Attacks Revealing a Cervical Cystic Lymphangioma.

We report the case of a 28-year-old man who presented in emergency for recurrent drop-attacks. Ultrasound imaging and angio computed tomography revealed a left cervical tumor, and the patient underwent surgery. The diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma was done on the anatomic characteristics of the surgical specimen and the results of the histological study.

Endovascular Treatment of 2 True Degenerative Aneurysms of Superficial Femoral Arteries.

We report the rare observation of a 58-year-old patient presenting 2 degenerative aneurysms of the superficial femoral arteries, with a rupture of the right aneurysm, treated by covered stents, with a satisfying midterm follow-up. The endovascular approach is a minimally invasive procedure which should be proposed as the first-line treatment to all the patients presenting aneurysms of the superficial femoral arteries, both asymptomatic as complicated.

Ruptured carotid aneurysm revealing a Behcet's disease.

We report the case of a 20-year-old male who was operated for a large ruptured aneurysm of the right common carotid artery, revealing a Behcet's disease. The aneurysm was excised and the right common carotid artery was repaired with a polytetrafluoroethylene prosthesis. None of the criteria of the International Study Group for Behcet's disease was present at the time of the diagnosis.

Acute systemic embolism due to an idiopathic floating thrombus of the thoracic aorta: success of medical management: a case report.

Background: Idiopathic thoracic aortic mural thrombi are rare. They can be responsible for dramatic systemic embolization. Early treatment is imperative because of their high morbidity and mortality rate.

Small bowel schwannoma revealed during an inguinal hernia: a case report.

Introduction: The association of bowel tumor and inguinal hernia is rare. We report according to our research the first case of the migration of a small bowel schwannoma into an inguinal hernia.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 51-year-old Moroccan malen admitted for a non-reducible right inguinal hernia in which surgical exploration showed the presence of a small bowel tumor that had migrated into his hernia sac.

Late complication of a femoral monitoring catheter: a case of femoral false aneurysm treated surgically.

Femoral false aneurysms are rare. They are one of the main complications of femoral catheterization, trauma of this area, or the use of intravenous drugs. They usually occur in the days after femoral puncture, and only rarely occur years after the procedure or incident.

Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta inflicted by a spinal osteophyte.

This report describes a case involving a traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta resulting from direct contusion inflicted by the tip of a spinal osteophyte at the level of T11-T12. Endovascular repair with placement of a custom-made endograft by the femoral route was performed after routine arteriography to locate the origin of the Adamkiewicz artery.
