[Carotid eversion endarterectomy: retrospective analysis].

The aim of this study was to report the initial experience with eversion carotid endarterectomy technique at our department. We undertook a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on all carotid endarterectomies performed since January 2004 to March 2006. A comparison between both groups - eversion endarterectomy (EE) and conventional endarterectomy (CE) - was done using a statistical software package.

[Rupture of venous bypass graft associated to infection of multiresistant bacteria].

We report two cases of severe trauma of the upper limb requiring arterial revascularization. A brachio-brachial inverted saphenous bypass graft was done in both cases. Graft rupture attributed to local infection occurred at fourth post-operative week.

[Supra-genicular femoro-popliteal bypass: 5 years retrospectively analysis].

We report a retrospective study of patients submitted to supragenicular femoro-popliteal bypass surgery in our department between 1998 and 2002. A SPSS package was used for statistical analysis. Eighty bypasses were performed in 74 patients with a median follow up of 19,6 months [1-71 (+/- 22,5 months)].
