[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.

[Aorto-enteric fistula as a rare manifestation of rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm--case report].

Aortoenteric fistula represents a communication between aortic and duodenal lumen. It is a very rare complication of aortic aneurysmal disease as well as aortic prosthetic surgery. There are only few surgeons who have seen more than one case of aortoenteric fistula.

[Results of surgical treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms].

This paper analyzes results of 5-year surgical treatment of patients with ruptured abdominal aorta aneurysms (1991.-1995.) at the Clinic for Vascular and Transplantation Surgery of the Institute of Surgery in Novi Sad.

[Surgical aspects of liver resection based on 5 years' data].

From 1988 to 1993 thirty liver resections were performed in thirty patients. Eight were operated for suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma, four from metastasis of colon's adenocarcinoma, five for great hemangiomas and the rest for focal liver changes. Right lobectomy was performed in six cases, as well as two trisegmentectomies and two left lobectomies while segmentectomies in the rest.

Surgical management of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms.

Between 1982 and 1991 we performed eight operations on seven patients with carotid artery aneurysms. Their mean age was 52.8 years (range: 20-67 years).

[Partial heterotopic and total orthotopic transplantation of the liver in dogs].

From 1983 to 1988 on the Department for Experimental Surgery 20 preservations of the liver has been done, with ice cold Euro- Collins and Ringer solutions, either with in situ or with on banch technique after fast expantation. On five dogs standard 55% left hepatectomy has been done and the right side preserved in situ. Partial heterotopic liver transplantation to the right iliac fossa was performed on five dogs.

[Revascularization of the forelimb in dogs].

Revascularization of the forearm was performed on six mature dogs of a different race. Arteria mediana was cut 2 cm above the fork of the arteria radialis and later sutured with a nonresorptive monofilament thread/Ethilonr/7-0 and 8-0 in diameter. The same process was repeated on the cefalica vein.

[Specifics in the reconstruction of individual elements in replantation of the forelimb in dogs].

The experiment was carried out on the four extremities of six, sexually mature dogs of a different race. Gradual reconstruction of the anatomic structures was performed as a single act after the section of the elements. To reach stability of the forearm we employed different osteosynthetic techniques and succeeded to reconstruct blood vessels, nerves, ligaments and the skin, afterwards.
