A rare case of epithelioid angiosarcoma.

Epithelioid angiosarcoma is a rare high-grade vascular neoplasm with a poor prognosis. We present an anticoagulated 77-year-old man, with a history of popliteal/soleal vein thrombosis in the previous month, complaining of ipsilateral persistent lower limb pain and claudication. Absent popliteal/distal pulses prompted an arterial doppler ultrasound (DUS), revealing thrombosis of the distal superficial femoral artery and a popliteal mass.

[Deep vein thrombosis in the pediatric population - a rare entity of uncertain prognosis].

Deep vein thrombosis, whose prevalence remains unknown in the pediatric population, is an increasingly common diag- nosis in this age group. This increased incidence makes the post-thrombotic syndrome a likely long-term complication, so there is a critical need to establish high quality evidence over its suitable approach in this population. We present two cases of deep vein thrombosis in children and their management in a hospital of the northern region of Portugal, reviewing the literature on this under researched subject.

[Endovascular Revascularization for Diabetic Foot Ulcer - Experience from a Dedicated Clinic].

Objectives: We aimed to assess the outcome of endovascular revascularization in Diabetic patients with Fontaine stage IV chronic ischaemia, at our Diabetic Foot Clinic. Primary outcomes were ulcer healing, major amputation and limb salvage.

Methods: Retrospective single center analysis of patients treated between January 2009 and May 2015.

[Rupture of venous bypass graft associated to infection of multiresistant bacteria].

We report two cases of severe trauma of the upper limb requiring arterial revascularization. A brachio-brachial inverted saphenous bypass graft was done in both cases. Graft rupture attributed to local infection occurred at fourth post-operative week.

[Supra-genicular femoro-popliteal bypass: 5 years retrospectively analysis].

We report a retrospective study of patients submitted to supragenicular femoro-popliteal bypass surgery in our department between 1998 and 2002. A SPSS package was used for statistical analysis. Eighty bypasses were performed in 74 patients with a median follow up of 19,6 months [1-71 (+/- 22,5 months)].
