Superficial femoral artery pseudoaneurysm at implantation site of drug eluting stent discovered due to bacteremia: A case report.

Background: Drug-eluting stents (DES) are used to treat lower extremity arterial disease. During DES treatment, aneurysmal degeneration occasionally occurs, especially with fluoropolymer-based DES. However, the incidence of pseudoaneurysms after DES placement is rarely reported in the lower extremity region, although there have been several reports on pseudoaneurysm formation after DES pla-cement in the coronary artery region.

Successful treatment of giant abdominal aortic aneurysm with chronic contained rupture diagnosed at the onset of acute retrograde type A aortic dissection: A case report.

Introduction: It is rare for two critical diseases, namely a giant abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD), to be detected simultaneously, and in such instances, management is extremely difficult.

Presentation Of Case: A 64-year-old man who presented to our hospital with a chief complaint of sudden back pain and vomiting was diagnosed with acute retrograde TAAD and a giant AAA with chronic contained rupture (CCR) via computed tomography. We initially managed the acute TAAD conservatively and subsequently performed laparotomy for the AAA 3 months later.

Endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm with external iliac artery occlusion using VBX as the contralateral leg via axillary delivery: A case report.

Rationale: A hostile iliac access route is an important consideration when enforcing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Herein, we report a case of AAA with unilateral external iliac artery occlusion, for which bifurcated EVAR was successfully performed using a single femoral and brachial artery access.

Patient Concerns: A 76-year-old man who had undergone surgery for lung cancer 4.

Tailor-Made Tapering Grafts for Large-Neck Aorta.

Patients having a large aortic neck poses a challenge in abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery both in endovascular and open aneurysm repair, sometimes necessitating paravisceral or thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair which carries considerable perioperative risk. Here, we describe techniques of using a tailor-made tapering graft in open surgery that can be adjusted for large neck morphology. This technique helps avoid discrepancies between the proximal aorta and graft, and postoperative acute kidney injury by clamping at lower levels.

Blood distribution of bortezomib and its kinetics in multiple myeloma patients.

Objectives: Pharmacokinetic disposition of bortezomib in the blood has not been fully characterized in humans. This study aimed to evaluate the blood distribution of bortezomib and its kinetics in multiple myeloma patients.

Design And Method: Eighteen multiple myeloma patients receiving bortezomib-dexamethasone combination therapy were enrolled.
