It's aneurysmal, it's stenotic, it's tuberculosis.

Tuberculous vasculitis is a very rare presentation of tuberculosis. So far this is the second reported case in the literature. The diagnosis of this disorder is based on the clinical presentation as well as blood investigation results.

Internal iliac artery pseudo aneurysm occlusion using amplatzer vascular plug.

Pseudoaneurysm of the internal iliac artery is a rare occurrence. Our patient presented with pain over the lower abdomen which also radiated to the back. An Angiogram of the aorta and the iliac arteries showed a pseudoaneurysm of the right internal iliac artery which measured about 8 x 8 cm with a proximal branch of the internal iliac artery distended.

The value of pre-operative embolisation in primary inferior vena cava paraganglioma.

We report a case of a 13-year-old boy who complained of progressive abdominal distension and symptoms of anaemia. Radiological investigations revealed that the child had a hypervascular tumour of the inferior vena cava (IVC). Unfortunately, the child presented with acute lower gastrointestinal bleed soon after the investigation.

Open endarterectomy of the SPT segment: an experience.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the results of open endarterectomy in short atherosclerotic occlusions of the SPT segment (superficial femoral, popliteal, and tibioperoneal arteries). Retrospectively, records from July 1999 to June 2004 of patients who underwent open endarterectomy of lower limb arteries were verified; 63 patients with 66 lesions had open endarterectomy of the SPT segment as a primary procedure. At the time of this study, there were 57 patients alive and six dead, with the cause of death being unrelated to the procedure.

Pulsating varicose veins!! The diagnosis lies in the heart.

Right heart failure is associated with increased systemic venous pressure, which can be diagnosed clinically with the findings of elevated jugular venous pressure, pulsatile liver and distinctive cardiac murmurs (precordial systolic). Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has occasionally been known to lead to marked pulsation of varicose veins. We report three cases that were referred to the vascular clinic of Royal Perth Hospital in which the patients involved had unilateral (right leg) varicose veins and chronic venous ulcers.

Melioidosis and the vascular surgeon: Hospital Kuala Lumpur experience.

Bacterial arteritis is relatively uncommon and management of this condition, which carries high morbidity and mortality, is difficult and time-consuming. Common organisms implicated include Salmonella and Staphylococcus. Arteritis as a result of infection by Burkholderia pseudomallei (formerly Pseudomonas pseudomallei) has been rarely reported in the English literature.

Popliteal artery injury: Royal Perth experience and literature review.

Background: Popliteal artery injury is uncommon but poses a significant challenge in Australian trauma care. Blunt trauma and knee dislocations appear to be associated with higher amputation rates. The aim of the present study was to review the authors' experience with this condition and discuss the best approach to investigation and management.
