Isolated internal carotid artery dissection in a long-distance runner.

We present a case of internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) in the precranial segment, which caused binocular visual impairment in a 49-year-old man during a marathon race. The incident lasted 3 h, after which the symptoms resolved. Imaging tests showed internal carotid artery dissection.

Changes in flow-mediated dilatation in patients with femoropopliteal occlusion receiving conservative and invasive treatment.

Background: Although the beneficial effect of revascularisation on reduction of local clinical ischaemic symptoms has been well established, its effect on systemic vascular endothelial function has not been fully explained yet.

Aim: To determine changes in endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilatation in patients with unilateral femoropopliteal occlusion receiving medical and surgical treatment.

Methods: Seventy-nine patients with symptomatic atherosclerotic ischaemia of lower extremities, treated with endovascular procedures, with femoropopliteal graft, or receiving conservative treatment (21-day controlled treadmill training) were enrolled in the study.

The Application of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Installation in Diabetic Foot Associated with Phlegmon.

The negative pressure wound therapy in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers was used successfully for many years. In the case of complications associated with infection by this type of wound treatment to give very good results. From many years of sustained research on a device that could combine the advantages of the negative pressure wound therapy and drainage flow.

Diagnosis and treatment of a patient with type IV endoleak as a late complication after endovascular aneurysm repair.

Type IV endoleak is a very rare complication observed after implantation of aortobiiliac stent grafts. The difficult diagnosis of type IV endoleak leads to the application of many imaging methods in the diagnostic process. We present a case report of a patient who underwent implantation of an aortobiiliac stent graft in 2004.

Abdominal aorta aneurysm: Case report of high radiation dose during stent-graft implantation.

This study is a case report regarding a possible problem of high radiation dose during stent-graft implantation. Before deciding on how to treat an aneurysm (stent grafting or traditional surgery), possible complications such as difficult anatomical conditions and diseases of the aorta and iliac arteries should be considered to avoid potentially high doses of radiation. In case of this patient, it was very difficult to introduce a guidewire through the contralateral limb into the body of the graft due to tortuosity and kinking of iliac arteries.
