Brachiocephalic Artery Dissection Following Type A Aortic Dissection Repair.

Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a life-threatening emergency that is associated with major morbidity and mortality. Arterial dissections, particularly the brachiocephalic artery, can remain as a residual dissection after type A aortic dissection repair. We present a rare case of brachiocephalic artery dissection due to the clamping effect and the management of ATAAD patients.

Pseudoaneurysm and Renal Artery Stenosis Post-renal Transplant: A Rare Presentation.

We report the case of a 51-year-old gentleman who underwent living renal transplantation in Pakistan for end-stage renal disease one and a half years ago. He presented to our hospital with renal artery stenosis and an extra-renal pseudoaneurysm at the anastomotic site of the transplanted kidney. This can cause graft dysfunction and hypertension due to impairment of arterial perfusion in the transplanted kidney.

Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens Secondary to COVID-19 and May-Thurner Syndrome: A Case Report.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with significant thromboembolic risk. Extensive deep vein thrombosis can infrequently progress to phlegmasia cerulea dolens that carries high morbidity and mortality rates. We report a case of a middle-aged male presenting with phlegmasia cerulea dolens in the context of COVID-19 and underlying May-Thurner syndrome, associated with transiently positive antiphospholipid antibodies.

Lower Extremity Arteriovenous Fistula Mimicking Deep Venous Thrombosis: A Case Report.

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is the most common cause of unilateral lower limb swelling. Common differential diagnosis includes superficial thrombophlebitis and ruptured Baker's cyst. DVT is one of the most common complications diagnosed following lower extremity orthopedic surgery.

Bullet embolism: a rare cause of acute ischaemia.

Embolization of a bullet or shrapnel from the heart (left ventricle) to the peripheral arterial circulation is practically unknown. We present a 38-year-old man with no comorbidities who was referred to our centre with a bullet injury to the left side of his chest. The patient complained of mild pain and numbness in his right lower limb.
