Article Synopsis
  • Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred method for vascular access in hemodialysis, but many patients still rely on central venous catheters (CVCs), which come with risks like infection and thrombosis.
  • A case is presented involving a 53-year-old woman who developed an uncommon iatrogenic fistula between her right subclavian artery and internal jugular vein due to a misplaced catheter.
  • The surgical approach involved a median sternotomy and a supraclavicular technique to repair the fistula, successfully closing it without complications, and the patient was discharged safely.

The occurrence of arterial and venous thrombosis during coronavirus infection has been widely reported since the beginning of the epidemic. Floating carotid thrombus (FCT) in the common carotid artery is exceptional and its main known cause is atherosclerosis. We describe the case of a 54-year-old man who developed, one week after the onset symptomatology of related to COVID-19 infection, an ischemic stroke, complicating a large intraluminal floating thrombus in the left common carotid artery.

Vascular involvement is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in Behçet's disease (BD). Aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm formation is one of the vascular complications, and the aorta is the most common site. Currently, there is no definitive therapeutic modality.

Introduction Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is currently known to lead to high rates of thrombotic complications. Of those, acute limb ischemia (ALI) was most frequently reported. Several case reports or case series had already described high mortality and amputation rates.

Post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of branches of external carotid artery is very rare and is at high risk of engaging vital prognosis by a rupture, even more in child. So, it must be evoked in emergency in front of any beating mass after a local trauma. We report the case of a 14-year-old child with a pseudoaneurysm of the temporo-maxillary trunk that occurred after a local trauma.

Vascular involvement is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in Behçet's disease (BD). Vasculo-Behçet patients are at risk for multiple vessel-related complications including thromboses, stenoses, occlusions, and aneurysms. In this report, we describe the case of a young woman admitted in our department for management of a concomitant common iliac and common femoral artery pseudoaneurysms revealing Behçet's disease.

Iliac arteriovenous (AV) fistula after lumbar disc surgery are uncommon entities with limited reported cases. This report describes a 44-year-old man with history of L4-L5 spinal discectomy who complained of congestive heart failure symptoms four years later. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed an AV fistula connecting the right common iliac artery and vein.

Congenital arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a rare vascular disease, which may occur anywhere in the body. The forearm is a very rare location. Clinical manifestations are not very specific and can vary from an asymptomatic fistula to a life-threatening congestive heart failure.

Venous aneurysm of external jugular vein is very rare clinical entity. Often asymptomatic, the diagnosis may be suggested by clinical features and is usually confirmed by imaging. Surgical excision is indicated in symptomatic aneurysms and for esthetic reasons, other treatments such as endovascular treatment are being evaluated.

Background: Behçet's disease (BD) is a multisystem chronic autoimmune inflammatory disorder that involves multiple organs. Arterial involvement in BD is rare. Aortic involvement is one of the most severe manifestations and is associated with a much higher mortality.

Isolated aneurysms of the common iliac artery are rare, affecting less than 0.01% of the general adult population. Most of these aneurysms are asymptomatic and are discovered as an incidental finding.

Vascular leiomyosarcomas are extremely rare, and involve veins 5 times more often than arteries. In the lower extremity, the great saphenous vein is the most frequent site of origin. We report the case of a healthy 45-year-old patient who presented with a painless mass located proximally in the right thigh in line with the great saphenous vein.

Aneurysms of the profunda femoris artery (PFA) are exceptionally rare but dreadful because of their high rate of rupture. In this report, we describe the case of a 70-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a ruptured PFA aneurysm. The patient underwent successful aneurysmorrhaphy and distal reconstruction with a vein graft.

Popliteal injuries are well known to be serious with a high rate of mortality due to damage caused to popliteal vessels. Pseudoaneurysm formation and arteriovenous fistulas are well-known complications of arterial injury, but are rarely concomitant. Diagnosis is usually done by computed tomography (CT) angiography.

Axillary artery injury from humeral neck fracture is an uncommon event. Vascular damage due to these injuries may threaten limb loss. In some cases, the signs of ischemia may not be evident just after the injury and may only appear later on.

True atherosclerotic aneurysms of superficial femoral artery (SFA) are rare and often associated with other peripheral or aortic aneurysms. We are reporting the case of a 78-year-old man who has been admitted with a ruptured superficial femoral artery aneurysm associated with bilateral popliteal artery aneurysm. The patient underwent successful aneurysm resection and bypass grafting.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is a rare and underdiagnosed cause of claudication in young adult. The typical clinical feature is calf claudication; the following case reports describe 2 rare clinical aspects, acute limb ischemia and pulsatile mass revealing a bilateral anatomic entrapment. These cases suggest that an early diagnosis is mandatory to avoid a dramatic clinical outcome and to limit the surgical treatment to a myotomy.

Pseudoaneurysms of the deep femoral artery are uncommon and occur as a late complication of various traumas. Usually associated with femoral fractures, We report two cases of profunda femoris artery injury which presented as false aneurysm secondary to penetrating trauma. Because of its insidious onset, awareness and careful follow-up are the key issues for the early diagnosis.
