Study's Goal: Our goal is to enrich the medical literature by sharing our experience in managing a case of sub-acute upper limb ischemia that revealed Horton's disease. This is particularly relevant given the current lack of well-established guidelines.

Introduction: Acute upper limb ischemia is rarely seen in Horton's disease.

Introduction: Central venous occlusion (CVO), which is caused by central venous catheters in haemodialysis patients , remains a challenge in vascular surgery.

Case Presentation: The authors report data evaluating bypass graft patency and complications of two patients with CVO who have benefited from a subclavian artery to right atrium bypass using polytetrafuloroetylene. The first patient , underwent three times an angioplasty of the atrio prothetic anastomosis , finally the graft failed at 12 month.

Unlabelled: Diclofenac sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, the injection of which by the intra-arterial route can lead to serious vascular complications, including limb ischemia.

Case Presentation: We report the case of accidental intra-arterial injection of diclofenac sodium in the brachial artery leading to acute limb ischemia.

Clinical Discussion: Iatrogenic intra-arterial injection is rarely reported in the literature; however, it is toxic and can lead to limb amputation.

Unlabelled: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a worldwide pandemic systemic infection that is responsible for serious coagulopathies similar to disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Case Presentation: The authors report the case of a COVID-19 patient who presented with phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) of the left lower limb, so he benefited from aponeurotomies of the internal and anterolateral muscular compartments.

Clinical Discussion: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 involves an inflammatory process in thrombotic events in COVID-19 patients, including a cytokine storm.
