Tracheoesophageal fistula after chemotherapy for lymphoma.

We present a case of tracheoesophageal fistula that occurred after chemotherapy for stage IV B Hodgkin's lymphoma. We outline our surgical management of the case and advocate the use of a single-stage repair in selected cases.

Simultaneous aorto-renal reconstruction and consideration to the value of combined approach. A 2-16 years follow-up study, with review of the literature.

Thirty five patients who underwent simultaneous aortic and renal artery reconstruction are reviewed, to determine the value of the combined approach. The risk factors determining operative morbidity and mortality are discussed, on the basis of a long term follow-up of more than sixteen years. All patients had a significant renal artery stenosis, in addition to either severe aorto-iliac occlusive disease or an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
