One-stage or two-stage elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery and abdominal aortic aneurysm open repair in low and moderate cardiac surgical risk patients.

Objectives: Coronary artery disease (CAD) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are common arterial pathologies that might occur simultaneously; however, there is not enough evidence about the optimal strategy for patients with concomitant indications of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and open repair of the AAA (AAOR). This study aims to present the outcomes in low and moderate cardiac surgical risk patients who underwent one-stage or two-stage elective CABG and AAOR in a middle-income country.

Methods: An observational, retrospective case series study was conducted.

Emergent hybrid surgical approaches for non-dissecting ruptured Kommerell's aneurysm: a case report series.

Background: Kommerell's aneurysm is a saccular or fusiform dilatation found in 3-8% of Kommerell's diverticulum cases. A non-dissecting rupture rate of 6% has been reported. If ruptured, emergent surgical correction is usually granted.

Endovascular Repair of a Spontaneous Popliteal Arteriovenous Fistula Associated With a Venous Aneurysm.

Popliteal arteriovenous fistulae (PAF) are anomalous communications between the arterial and venous systems of the lower extremity. They are usually secondary to trauma and are rarely associated with additional vascular defects. The coexistence of a PAF and a venous aneurysm is rare and usually occurs in patients with connective tissue disorders.
