Innominate artery aneurysm in behcet disease; report of one case.

Introduction: Behçet disease (BD) is a multisystemic recurrent inflammatory disorder that was originally described as a triad of oral and genital ulcerations with uveitis (Behcet, 1937 [1]). Arterial involvement is the most common cause of mortality in patients with BD. Aneurysms are common among the arterial lesions and affect various arteries, but mostly the abdominal aorta.

In-hospital outcomes of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms: A single center experience.

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) is a catastrophic condition with in-hospital mortalities up to 89%. Patient survival depends on multiple factors; however, prompt surgery is essential to prevent mortality. We report the in-hospital outcomes of RAAA at a high-volume and teaching vascular surgery center in Iran.

Saccular mycotic aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta secondary to vertebral hydatid disease: A rare case.

Background/objective: Hydatid disease of the aorta is very rare. Hydatid disease can result in saccular aneurysm of the thoracic and abdominal aorta.

Case Report: We report a rare case of saccular aneurysm of the distal descending thoracic aorta.

Simultaneous resection of abdominal aortic aneurysm and left renal cell carcinoma: A rare case and review of the literature.

We report a rare case of concomitant abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and left renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The patient was an 81-year old man who presented with vague abdominal pain. The investigations revealed a 110*73*62 mm AAA together with 69*56 left renal mass.

Axillary Artery Aneurysm in a 3-Year-Old Child: A Rare Case and Review of the Literature.

We report a rare case of 4 cm true aneurysm of left axillary artery in a 3-year-old girl. Computed tomography angiography confirmed the diagnosis. Open surgical repair with resection and primary end-to-end anastomosis was performed.

Neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy; an opportunity in sphincter preserving procedure for rectal cancer.

Aim: The present study was designed to assess the impact of neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy on the possibility of utilizing sphincter preserving techniques in rectal cancer surgery.

Background: For both patients and surgeons anal sphincter preserving surgery serves as the ideal procedure to treat rectal cancer.

Patients And Methods: Patients with rectal cancer who were admitted to Shohadaye Tajrish hospital between 2001 and 2011 and underwent sphincter preserving or non-preserving surgery were identified.

Familial adenomatous polyposis: ileo-anal pouch versus ileo-rectal anastomosis.

Aim: In this study we describe the presentation, treatment, and complications of 27 FAP patients.

Background: Treatment of Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is centered on early recognition and curative surgery with either restorative proctocolectomy with ileal-pouch-anal-anastomosis (IPAA) or colectomy with ileo-rectal anastomosis (IRA).

Patients And Methods: All patients diagnosed with FAP at our center from 2008 to 2012 were included in this case series.

Rare presentation of retroperitoneal schwannoma: a case report.

The deadly Schwannomas, as uncommon subtype of soft tissue tumors originate from peripheral nerve sheaths. Retro peritoneum is an uncommon site for these tumors. Here we present the clinical feature and therapeutic implication of a 38-year-old man affected by recurrent retroperitoneal schwannoma who admitted to emergency ward following abdominal pain.

Endovenous laser ablation of the great saphenous vein versus high ligation: long-term results.

Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) for greater saphenous vein (GSV) insufficiency is a relatively new method of treatment only recently made available in Iran. This is the first long-term randomized trial comparing EVLT with high ligation of saphenous vein (HLS) in the Iranian population. Sixty-five patients met the inclusion criteria and were divided into homogenous treatment groups of EVLT (n = 30) or HLS (n = 35).

Effectiveness of aspirin on double lumen permanent catheter efficacy in ESRD.

Background: The complications of vascular access are the most imperative etiology for hospitalization, morbidity and mortality in chronic hemodialysis. The most prevalent complication of central catheter is dysfunction due to thrombosis. Aspirin is an anti-aggregative platelet drug that may increase the patency of permanent catheters (perm-cath).
