Article Synopsis
- Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a treatment option for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer but can rarely lead to complications like vascular graft infections.
- A case is presented involving a 77-year-old man who developed acute thrombosis of an aortobisiliac graft after receiving BCG treatment about 10 years prior, and tests showed he had a BCG infection in the graft.
- The rarity of such infections highlights the need for a prompt and collaborative response from medical professionals when they arise.
Article Synopsis
- * Many complications can arise during ankle arthroscopy, particularly involving vessels and nerves, which are often hard to detect due to their deeper location.
- * The research found that using ultrasound mapping in addition to traditional marking techniques is a quick and safe way to lessen the risk of damage to these structures during surgery.
To report a new technique to reenter the common femoral artery (CFA) true lumen after retrograde recanalization of a superficial femoral artery (SFA) with flush ostial occlusion. The technique is demonstrated in a 76-year-old woman with critical limb ischemia previously submitted to several surgical revascularizations. A duplex ultrasound showed flush ostial occlusion of the SFA and patency of the anterior tibial artery at the ankle as the sole outflow vessel.

Case Report: An 80 year old woman with type 2 diabetes presented to the Diabetic Foot Clinic with critical limb ischaemia with tissue loss in the right leg. Her comorbidities included coronary artery disease, morbid obesity, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and active smoking habit.
