Klippel-Trénaunay-Weber Syndrome: Prenatal Diagnosis and Review of the Literature.

Klippel-Trénaunay-Weber syndrome (KTW) is a rare congenital disease, representing a challenge in prenatal diagnosis due to overlapping characteristics with other syndromes and no specific genetic markers known to date.

The Association between Plasma Proinflammatory Cytokine Concentrations and Endoleak after Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair.

Background: The most common complication after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is continuous sac perfusion, known as endoleak. Evaluating markers released from the aneurysm wall into circulation has been suggested as a possible alternative for detecting endoleaks. The aim of this study was to examine whether circulating concentrations of different proinflammatory interleukins (IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were elevated in patients with endoleak after EVAR.
