Acute Limb Ischemia Caused by Embolus of Primary Lung Cancer Complicating Trousseau's Syndrome.

Limb ischemia caused by tumor embolus is rare. In this study, we report the case of a 77-year-old woman who suffered from acute ischemic limb. Computed tomography showed a tumor in the right bronchus invading the left atrium.

Reconstruction for rupture of profunda femoris artery aneurysm in a patient with sarcopenia.

Profunda femoris artery aneurysm (PFAA) is rare and has a high incidence of rupture. Herein, we report the case of an 80-year-old man who developed sarcopenia after gastric surgery. The patient presented to our hospital with a reddish thigh and was diagnosed with PFAA rupture.

Autologous G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood CD34+ cell therapy for diabetic patients with chronic nonhealing ulcer.

Recently, animal studies have demonstrated the efficacy of endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) therapy for diabetic wound healing. Based on these preclinical studies, we performed a prospective clinical trial phase I/IIa study of autologous G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood (PB) CD34(+) cell transplantation for nonhealing diabetic foot patients. Diabetic patients with nonhealing foot ulcers were treated with 2 × 10(7) cells of G-CSF-mobilized PB CD34(+) cells as EPC-enriched population.

Case of ischemic optic neuropathy developed eleven days after an aortic arch replacement.

We present a case of ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) developed 11 days after an aortic arch replacement in a 59 year-old male who had a history of untreated hypertension. Thoracic CT revealed severe stenosis of the right common carotid artery with poor blood flow. Aortic clamping time was 96 minutes, and selective cerebral perfusion time was 48 minutes.
