Hemodynamic impact of abdominal aortic aneurysm stent-graft implantation-induced stenosis.

The current study aims to computationally evaluate the hemodynamic impact of a novel sealing mechanism employed by a recently developed endograft (Ovation TriVascular Stent-Graft System) for endovascular aneurysm repair. The exploitation of two inflatable O-rings to achieve sealing may be advantageous in terms of accommodating challenging anatomies, but comes at a price of a marked inflow stenosis. Here, four representative patient cases of inflow stenosis ranging from 30 to 80 % were analyzed.

Repair of an inguinoscrotal hernia containing the urinary bladder: a case report.

Introduction: Cases of patients with inguinoscrotal hernia containing the urinary bladder are very rare. These patients usually present with frequent episodes of urinary tract infection, difficulty in walking, pollakisuria and difficulty in initiating micturition because of incarceration of the urinary bladder into the scrotum.

Case Presentation: We describe the case of an 80-year-old Caucasian man with an incarcerated urinary bladder into the scrotum who underwent surgical repair with mesh.
