Iatrogenic injury of profunda femoris artery branches after intertrochanteric hip screw fixation for intertrochanteric femoral fracture: a case report and literature review.

A case of arterial rupture of the profunda femoris arterial branches, following dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation for an intertrochanteric femoral fracture, is presented. Bleeding is controlled by coil embolization, but, later on, the patient underwent orthopedic material removal due to an infection of a large femoral hematoma.

Minilaparotomy abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in the era of minimally invasive vascular surgery: preliminary results.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the early post-operative clinical impact of minimal incision aortic surgery (MIAS) for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair in comparison with the standard open repair.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted. Patients of groups A (19 patients) and B (18 patients) were treated with the MIAS technique and the standard open method, respectively.

Fungal infection of aortoiliac endograft: a case report and review of the literature.

Infection of aortoiliac endografts is, to date, a rare complication of endovascular surgery. Staphylococcus species are the most common responsible pathogens, just as in cases with infected grafts after open aortic surgery. We report a case of a 65-year-old man with a history of diabetes mellitus and bladder cancer who developed stent-graft infection 3 years after endovascular treatment for a 5.

Spontaneous arterial recanalization with magnetic resonance angiography evidence: report of a case.

A 27-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for investigation of severe claudication in his right foot. Based on the findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), we diagnosed anatomic popliteal artery entrapment syndrome, which was causing a short popliteal artery occlusion. Moreover, a long posterior tibial artery occlusion and a peroneal artery lesion had developed as distal thromboembolic complications of the entrapment.
