Bilateral external iliac artery aneurysm in a young man.

Most iliac artery aneurysms occur in association with aortic aneurysms. Isolated aneurysms of the iliac arteries are uncommon, and those of the external iliac arteries are even more rare. In the present report, we have presented the case of a bilateral external iliac artery aneurysm in a young man.

WIfI Classification Versus Angiosome Concept: A Change in the Infrapopliteal Angioplasties Paradigm.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether the angiosome concept and WIfI classification in patients undergoing endovascular treatment is associated with the limb salvage rate and wound healing rate in patients with critical limb ischemia(CLI).

Methods: This was a retrospective, consecutive cohort study of CLI patients who underwent infrapopliteal angioplasty at the Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Service of the Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual, São Paulo, between January 2013 and January 2019. The primary outcome variable was the limb salvage rate and wound healing rate.

Vein bypasses to branches of pedal arteries.

Objective: We report a retrospective analysis of our experience in bypass vein graft surgery to lateral tarsal, medial plantar, and lateral plantar arteries for treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI).

Methods: Between January 1991 and February 2010, we performed 137 inframalleolar bypass graft surgeries; of these, 25 (18%) were conducted using foot branch arteries for distal implant. All patients were treated for CLI and most had extensive infrapopliteal atherosclerotic disease (TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus D).
