This recurrence is linked to significant hemorrhage and infection, subsequently increasing the risk of mortality. Aneurysmal involvement due to tuberculosis is documented and can affect all arteries, but localization in the common iliac artery is rare and serious, necessitating immediate management.

Aneurysmal arterial involvement is the severe form of the disease, it constitutes a therapeutic challenge given its severity, and frequent secondary complications. Profunda femoral artery aneurysms (PFAAs) are extremely rare.

It is difficult to diagnose early due to its silent manifestation. We present a case of a 64-year-old man with an isolated left common iliac artery pseudoaneurysm caused by who presented with thrombophlebitis, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting associated with fever, which was successfully treated with interposition grafting and antibiotic therapy.

Materials And Methods: Four patients with subclavian steal syndrome were treated in our center. Percutaneous radial approach was used for angioplasty, primary stenting of subclavian artery was performed, surgical techniques in particular carotid-subclavian bypass and carotid-subclavian transposition were used.

Introduction: Traumatic Arteriovenous Fistulas (AVFs) are a rare complication of vascular injuries and pose a problem of topographic diagnosis and therapeutic management. Delayed treatment may cause cardiac and trophic complications.
Presentation Of Cases: We describe 4 cases of AVFs complicating stab wounds of the lower limb, associated in 2 cases with pseudoaneurysms.
Introduction: Horseshoe Kidney (HSK) is probably the most common of all renal fusion abnormalities. However the association of Abdominal aortic aneurism (AAA) and HSK is rare, and occurred in 0,12% of patient affected by AAA.
Presentation Of Case: We present a patient with the concomitant presence of AAA and HSK treated by open surgical repair with a transperitoneal approach without section of the isthmus with great outcomes after surgery.
Exostoses or osteochondromas are benign osseous tumors that develop on the bone surface and can be sporadic or hereditary. Their evolution is generally benign, but they may be complicated in some patients by conflicts with the surrounding nervous or vascular structures, in particular arteries. We report a case of false aneurysm of the popliteal artery secondary to an isolated exostosis of the left femur in a 20-year-old woman.
