Endovascular treatment of traumatic rupture of thoracic aorta: long term results.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the endovascular treatment of acute post-traumatic thoracic aorta rupture. Rupture of the thoracic aorta is caused in a majority of cases by blunt trauma of the chest as a result of motor vehicle accident. Hypovolemic shock due to massive hemorrhage leads to death in almost 90% of victims.

Introduction: Phaeochromocytoma is one of the numerous causes of secondary hypertension. Furthermore, phaeochromocytoma may first present with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effects of adrenalectomy on patient recovery with regards to normotension and well-controlled glycaemia.

Location and incidence rate of anastomotic aneurysms--own clinical material and literature review.

Unlabelled: Anastomotic aneurysms occurs at various levels of arterial system. Determining their location and incidence rate required investigation of large patient clinical material.

Material And Methods: In the years 1989-2010 in local centre 230 anastomotic aneurysms were operated in 180 patients.

Anastomotic aneurysms--20-years of experience from one center.

Unlabelled: Anastomotic aneurysms may develop after any type of vascular surgery, in different areas of the arterial system, and require reoperation. The frequency of occurrence of the above-mentioned is estimated at 1-5%.

Material And Methods: During the period between 1989 and 2010, 180 patients with 230 anastomotic aneurysms were subject to surgical intervention at the Department of General and Thoracic Surgery, Warsaw Medical University.

Results of general surgical treatment of patients over 80 years of age in single-site experience.

Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of general surgical treatment of patients over 80 years of age.

Material And Methods: Three hundred and four patients aged 80 to 105 years with general surgical disorders, treated in 2005-2009, were retrospectively included in the study. The collected information included demographic data, coexisting diseases, the mode of admission, the diagnosis, the method and result of treatment, and also potential complications and 30-day mortality.
