Article Synopsis
- Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a rare condition affecting arteries and veins, often leading to non-atherosclerotic peripheral vessel disease, with the popliteal artery being the most commonly affected.
- A case study highlighted a 62-year-old woman with CAD in her left common femoral artery, who initially underwent surgery but experienced a relapse that required a second surgical intervention.
- Literature review of 29 patients showed claudication as the main symptom and recommended treatment options included complete cyst excision and interposition graft using saphenous vein or PTFE to reduce recurrence rates.
Background: We aimed at comparing in a multicenter propensity-matched analysis, results of nonintubated versus intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) bullectomy/blebectomy for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP).
Methods: Eleven Institutions participated in the study. A total of 208 patients underwent VATS bullectomy by intubated (IVATS) (N = 138) or nonintubated (NIVATS) (N = 70) anesthesia during 60 months.
Background: The management of patients with simultaneously diagnosed colorectal liver and lung metastases (SLLM) remains controversial. A recent study based on an analysis of the LiverMetSurvey demonstrated that patients with SLLM suitable for resection of all metastases have a survival similar to that of patients who undergo removal of isolated liver metastases.1 Simultaneous transdiaphragmatic resection of peripheral lung lesions and liver resection by laparotomy has been described previously.

Based on mainly histologic features, it can be classified in a congenital or an acquired form. It is usually an incidental finding in an asymptomatic patient.

Methods: Between September 1998 and October 2003, 143 patients underwent elective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) using the Cook Zenith endograft. Data from these patients were reviewed from a prospective database in October 2008.
Background: To study the pathophysiology of esophageal necrosis after endoprosthesis was performed for a ruptured aneurysm and to define preventive measures and possible treatment options.
Method: A 72-year-old man with thoracoabdominal aneurysm type I and dysphagia underwent an emergent carotico-carotid bypass in combination with thoracic endovascular aortic aneurysm repair starting at a point distal to the brachiocephalic trunk and ending proximal to the superior mesenteric artery. On day 12, a decortication was performed for treating an infection in the remaining hematoma.
Objective: We report our 10-year experience in the endovascular treatment of acute traumatic thoracic aorta rupture at the Hospital Clinic.
Methods: We reviewed 20 patients with an acute traumatic thoracic aorta lesion treated with a thoracic endograft between August 1997 and July 2007. All patients had multi-trauma resulting from high-velocity accidents or accidents with great impact.
