[Case study of ruptured gastroduodenal artery aneurysm revealed by hematemesis].

Gastroduodenal artery aneurysm is a rare vascular lesion, asymptomatic in the majority of cases. However, ruptured aneurysm is associated with poor prognosis and mortality can achieve a 40% rate. We here report the case of an 83-year-old patient with abrupt onset of non-specific abdominal pain associated with hematemesis.

Hybrid open and endovascular treatment of an aortic arch pseudoaneurysm in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection.

We describe an hybrid approach for aortic pseudoaneurysm with open and endovascular treatment as an alternative treatment for a high-risk patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus. A 42-year-old man, serum positive for human immunodeficiency virus, presented, with a large pseudoaneurysm of the arch aorta measuring 61 × 70 mm. An aortic arch debranching was performed, completed by thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair.

[Treatment of a complex renal artery aneurysm by renal autotransplantation].

Renal artery aneurysm (AAR) is rare and usually asymptomatic; rupture, thromboembolism are aneurysmal complications that can then lead to renal infarction. AAR is often found fortuitously when exploring other diseases. Renal autotransplantation (RAT) is an alternative treatment for complex AAR, with satisfactory outcomes described in the literature.

[Emergency endovascular treatment for ruptured post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the superior gluteal artery].

Pseudoaneurysms of the gluteal arteries are rare, often secondary to blunt or penetrating pelvic trauma. These pseudoaneurysms are initially asymptomatic and manifest after a variable delay ranging from a few weeks to many years after the initial trauma. The spontaneous outcome can be fatal in case of rupture.

[Acute post-trauma dissection of the descending thoracic aorta].

Background: Traumatic injury to the descending thoracic aorta other than the isthmus is rare, and little known. Acute post-trauma rupture may occur in a context of multiple or rarely unique localizations.

Case Report: We report the case of a young man who was the victim of multiple injuries with an isolated rupture of the descending thoracic aorta.

[Spontaneous false aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery - during pregnancy].

Extracranial carotid false aneurysms are rare but serious because of the high risk of rupture and thromboembolic ischemic strokes. Although hemodynamic and hormonal physiological changes in pregnant women may favor arterial rupture and the development of false aneurysms, only one case of extracranial carotid false aneurysm related to pregnancy has been reported in the literature. Surgical repair is still the treatment of choice of these lesions.

[An axillary-subclavian artery aneurysm in pre-rupture revealing Marfan syndrome].

Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder of connective tissue which has many clinical symptoms and whose prognosis depends on associated cardiovascular complications, dominated by proximal aortic disorders. Peripheral arterial aneurysms are rare during Marfan syndrome and are exceptionally indicative of the disease. We report the case of a large aneurysm of the axillary-subclavian artery in pre-rupture revealing a new case of Marfan syndrome.

[Traumatic dissection of the left renal pedicle in a young adult].

Blunt trauma rarely causes renal pedicle dissection. Clinical signs are minimal and inconsistently reported. The diagnosis is based on computed tomographic angiography; arteriography is still useful when revascularization is considered.

[Claude Bernard-Horner syndrome revealing spontaneous aneurysm of the vertebral artery].

False aneurysms of the extracranial vertebral artery (FAVA) are rare because of the path of the artery at the level of the transverse holes. They can be secondary to penetrating cervical trauma, spontaneous in the course of an angiopathy such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or iatrogenic. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman who presented a syndrome of Claude Bernard-Horner related to a spontaneous FAVA.

Multilayer Flow Modulator Treatment of Abdominal and Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms With Side Branch Coverage: Outcomes From a Prospective Single-Center Moroccan Registry.

Purpose: To evaluate endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) using the Multilayer Flow Modulator (MFM) in high-surgical-risk patients with at least one covered branch vessel.

Methods: In this prospective single-center nonrandomized trial, 18 patients (mean age 61.1 years; 16 men) with TAAA (n=10, mean diameter 74.

Multiple Visceral Artery Aneurysms: An Uncommon Manifestation of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody Vasculitis.

The antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis mainly affect small vessels. They are an exceptional etiology of visceral artery aneurysms, which are themselves unusual and potentially serious vascular disease. We report the case of a patient followed for vasculitis associated with ANCA with kidney disease who presented with symptomatic aneurysm of the inferior mesenteric artery and aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery.

[Peripheral arterial pseudo-aneurysm in Behçet's disease: Report of two cases].

Behçet's disease is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiopathogenesis. Arterial events such as pseudo-aneurysms are rare and may be the mode of occurrence of the disease. These pseudo-aneurysms tend, regardless of size, to progress rapidly to life-threatening rupture.

[Coil embolization therapy in post-traumatic pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistula of knee and leg arteries].

Pseudoaneurysms remain a rare complication of knee and leg trauma. They may go unnoticed and manifest late after the initial trauma; they are often associated with arteriovenous fistula. No standard treatment is recognized.

Drop-Attacks Revealing a Cervical Cystic Lymphangioma.

We report the case of a 28-year-old man who presented in emergency for recurrent drop-attacks. Ultrasound imaging and angio computed tomography revealed a left cervical tumor, and the patient underwent surgery. The diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma was done on the anatomic characteristics of the surgical specimen and the results of the histological study.

[Endovascular treatment of acute limb ischemia occurred after popliteal stent fracture].

Angioplasty stenting of popliteal artery lesions is a common procedure in endovascular surgery. Stent fractures in popliteal artery maybe asymptomatic or cause restenosis, false-aneurysm or acute thrombosis. We report one case of acute limb ischemia occurred after a popliteal stent fracture placed four months earlier.

[An aortic and femoral aneurysm revealing Behçet's disease].

Vascular involvement in Behçet's disease is rare, but may be inaugural in many cases. We report a case of Behçet's disease revealed by two pre-rupture aneurysms - a subrenal abdominal aortic aneurysm and a femoral aneurysm. This patient had only one of the International Study Group for Behçet's disease diagnostic criteria: pseudofolliculitis.

Endovascular Treatment of 2 True Degenerative Aneurysms of Superficial Femoral Arteries.

We report the rare observation of a 58-year-old patient presenting 2 degenerative aneurysms of the superficial femoral arteries, with a rupture of the right aneurysm, treated by covered stents, with a satisfying midterm follow-up. The endovascular approach is a minimally invasive procedure which should be proposed as the first-line treatment to all the patients presenting aneurysms of the superficial femoral arteries, both asymptomatic as complicated.

[Endovascular treatment of intra-thoracic left subclavian artery aneurysm].

Aneurysms of the subclavian artery are rare, and remain asymptomatic until complications. We report one case of atherosclerotic aneurysm of the proximal portion of the left subclavian artery fortuitously discovered and successfully treated by endovascular stent graft. This case report aims to illustrate endovascular procedures in the management of difficult access lesions or in high-risk surgical patients.

Ruptured carotid aneurysm revealing a Behcet's disease.

We report the case of a 20-year-old male who was operated for a large ruptured aneurysm of the right common carotid artery, revealing a Behcet's disease. The aneurysm was excised and the right common carotid artery was repaired with a polytetrafluoroethylene prosthesis. None of the criteria of the International Study Group for Behcet's disease was present at the time of the diagnosis.

Acute systemic embolism due to an idiopathic floating thrombus of the thoracic aorta: success of medical management: a case report.

Background: Idiopathic thoracic aortic mural thrombi are rare. They can be responsible for dramatic systemic embolization. Early treatment is imperative because of their high morbidity and mortality rate.

Small bowel schwannoma revealed during an inguinal hernia: a case report.

Introduction: The association of bowel tumor and inguinal hernia is rare. We report according to our research the first case of the migration of a small bowel schwannoma into an inguinal hernia.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 51-year-old Moroccan malen admitted for a non-reducible right inguinal hernia in which surgical exploration showed the presence of a small bowel tumor that had migrated into his hernia sac.
