[Successful treatment of infrarenal aortic aneurysm in the case of a patient after renal transplantation].

The management of the abdominal aortic aneurysm is associated with several risk factors, especially in patients after renal transplantation. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) can be the proper treatment in feasible cases. The authors present a patient's case who underwent renal transplantation and developed an infrarenal aortic aneurysm some years later.

Hydrogen Sulfide Abrogates Hemoglobin-Lipid Interaction in Atherosclerotic Lesion.

The infiltration of red blood cells into atheromatous plaques is implicated in atherogenesis. Inside the lesion, hemoglobin (Hb) is oxidized to ferri- and ferrylHb which exhibit prooxidant and proinflammatory activities. Cystathione gamma-lyase- (CSE-) derived HS has been suggested to possess various antiatherogenic actions.

[Advances in the prevention, diagnosis and therapy of vascular diseases].

Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease affecting the coronary, carotid, intracerebral, renal and peripherial arteries. The early morphological and functional impairments could be detected in the second or third decades of life and their progression depend on the number and severity of risk factors and individual susceptility. Although the vascular risk factors (smoking, overweight, age, unhealthy diet, lack of physical exercise, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease and dyslipidemia) are the same and common in the different vascular diseases, the present clinical routine artificially classifies the diagnosis and therapy of different vascular diseases into different subfields of medicine with the negative impact of possible polypragmasia.

[Multiple obliterative vascular disease. Challenge in diagnosis and in treatment].

Unlabelled: Currently, peripheral arterial disease is an underdiagnosed disorder. Several modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors have role in its development and progression. As system disorder it might be a part and an important predictor of fatal cardio- and cerebrovascular events.

Renal artery aneurysm at the anastomosis after kidney transplantation.

Vascular complications represent serious problems after kidney transplantation. An aneurysm of the transplanted renal artery is an extremely rare but potentially devastating complication that which occurs in fewer than 1% of recipients. It can cause hypertension, functional impairment, and even graft loss.
