[Surgical treatment of a giant extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm--a case report].

Introduction: True aneurysms of the extracranial internal carotid artery are rare lesions. Surgical treatment is considered to be the best therapeutic option. However, the use of the intraluminal shunt remains controversial.

Carotid artery aneurysms: Serbian multicentric study.

This multicentric Serbian study presents the treatment of 91 extracranial carotid artery aneurysms in 76 patients (13 had bilateral lesions). There were 61 (80.3%) male and 15 (19.

[Results of autovenous femoro-distal bypass procedures in the type III peripheral obliterative arterial disease of the extremities in diabetic and nondiabetic patients].

Introduction: It has been established that infrainguinal occlusive disease, type III peripheral obliterative arterial disease (POAD), is more common in diabetics than in non-diabetics. It is presumeable that after surgical treatment of this arterial segment diabetics develop more complications and higher mortality rate than non-diabetics. The aim of this study was to analyze the results of reconstructive surgical treatment of diabetic and non-diabetic patients with type III PAOD.

[Femoro-popliteal reconstructions: "in situ" versus "reversed" technique: comparative results].

Introduction: Infrainguinal arterial reconstruction is a procedure with two main types of autologous venous grafts: reversed-vein bypass grafting, and the in situ bypass grafting. Both techniques have advantages and disadvantages, and the aim of this study was to compare the results of each technique.

Material And Methods: In the period from 1999 to 2003, 118 patients with infrainguinal arterial occlusive disease (IAOD) underwent reconstruction surgery at the Vascular and Transplantation Surgery Clinic in Novi Sad.
