We report the case of a patient with a saccular aneurysm of the hepatic artery with maximum diameter of 2.8 cm, no proximal neck, and involving the bifurcation of the proper hepatic artery, constituting a hostile anatomy for endovascular treatment, which would usually be the first choice for such cases. We performed open surgical treatment with resection and reconstruction using an autologous graft (internal saphenous vein).

Article Synopsis
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are significantly more common in men, but women have a worse prognosis following repair.
- A study conducted across five hospitals in São Paulo from 2012 to 2022 analyzed data from 951 patients, revealing that while more men were treated, women presented with smaller aneurysms and higher rates of complications, particularly obstructions.
- The research concluded that despite similar operative mortality rates between genders, women faced more obstructive complications and had smaller aneurysmal diameters.
Deep vein thrombosis is one of the main causes of inpatient and outpatient morbidity, both in medical and surgical patients, significantly impacting mortality statistics and requiring prompt diagnosis so that treatment can be initiated immediately. This document was prepared and reviewed by 11 specialists certified by the Brazilian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery, who searched the main databases for the best evidence on the diagnostic (physical examination, imaging) and therapeutic approaches (heparin, coumarins, direct oral anticoagulants, fibrinolytics) to the disease.

- Plague is still a significant zoonotic threat, particularly in specific regions like the Araripe Plateau in northeastern Brazil.
- Researchers analyzed data from 1961-1980 to identify plague hotspots, which were primarily located in low-altitude areas with unique precipitation and vegetation patterns.
- They found a seasonal correlation between human cases and environmental factors such as precipitation, as well as genomic analysis revealing a foundational Y. pestis strain that evolves into different variants depending on the outbreak context.
