Soleal venous aneurysm in a patient with a history of pulmonary embolism.

A lower extremity venous aneurysm is an uncommon vascular disease known to increase a patient's risk of pulmonary embolism.

We have presented a rare case of a soleal venous aneurysm in a patient with a history of pulmonary embolism.

Small bowel perforation from a migrated biliary stent: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Bowel perforation from biliary stent migration is a serious potential complication of biliary stents, but fortunately has an incidence of less than 1%.
