Stent-assisted remote iliac artery endarterectomy: an alternative approach to treating combined external iliac and common femoral artery disease.

Objective: Stent-assisted remote iliac endarterectomy (SA-RIEA) is a hybrid minimally invasive technique for treating patients with combined external iliac and common femoral disease, when the only alternative would be conventional open revascularisation.

Design: This was a retrospective, single-centre study.

Materials And Methods: From January 2004 to April 2010, 155 SA-RIEA procedures were performed.

[Late results after eversion endarterectomy of the internal carotid artery].

Objectives: The eversion endarterectomy of the internal carotid artery was introduced in Hungary in 1991. The aim of this study was to define the long-term restenosis rate of this new method.

Materials And Methods: Between 1991 and 1993, 171 operations were performed by one surgeon on 151 patients: 109 patients had enough compliance to take part in long-term follow-up, which included annual physical and ultrasound (Ultramark 9) investigations.

[Simultaneous carotid and coronary operations: experience and results of 11 years (1990-2000)].

Between 1990-2000 163 coronary + carotid procedures were performed. The mean age was 4 years higher than it was at patients underwent isolated CABG (63.4 y vs 59.

[Importance of carotid artery studies prior to coronary surgery].

The incidence of cerebral complications following extracorporal cardiac operations is reported to be approximately 2%. One of the possible reasons behind these complications is the presence of significant carotid stenosis as coexistent disease to the cardiac illness requiring surgery. Because of the common etiology carotid stenosis coexists mainly with a coronary artery disease.

[A case of maxillofacial gunshot wound complicated by acute hemorrhage from the internal carotid artery and the internal jugular vein].

A complicated case of a big vein injury associated with a maxillofacial gun-shot injury and its successful treatment are reported on. The course of the vein injury is explained and the significance of team work is emphasized.
