Submandibular approach and use of Ligasure(®) system in a complex carotid paraganglioma.

Unlabelled: Carotid paragangliomas are rare tumors of slow growth, progressive, and highly vascularized; surgery is the chosen treatment, and most surgeons perform an approach with a longitudinal cervicotomy.

Objective: We present a case of carotid paraganglioma Shamblin III with skull base extension.

Methods: Submandibular approach and vascular sealing device of the Ligasure(®) system were used in the surgery.

Endovascular treatment of iliofemoral chronic post-thrombotic venous flow obstruction.

Introduction: Patients with deep vein thrombosis affecting the iliac and vena cava veins develop a more severe post-thrombotic syndrome than those with femoropopliteal disease. It has been traditionally treated only with medical therapy. During the last decade, endovascular repair has become the treatment of choice.
