Introduction: Since 1993 an operative technique without adjuvant therapy (laterally extended parametrectomy, the LEP procedure) has been in use at our institution for the treatment of Stage IIB cervical cancer and for patients with pelvic lymph node metastases in Stages IA-IIA. Iliac/femoral artery embolic occlusion in the cohort of LEP operated patients was studied in an 11 years long period.
Methods: The LEP-Wertheim procedure was used in 320 patients between 1994 and 2005. Embolic occlusion of the iliac and/or femoral arteries was detected in four out of 255 (1.6%) cases. Thrombectomy was done on one blood vessel in three cases, on both the deep and superficial femoral arteries in one case were executed to restore the vessel patency.
Results: Three out of four patients following external iliac/femoral artery emboli removal healed up without any arterial occlusion-related symptoms. In one case preventive fasciotomy was needed to treat tumescence of the legs. This patient developed transient peroneal palsy, which necessitated the use of plantar support for one month and physiotherapy for one year for gait rehabilitation.
Conclusions: Embolus occlusion of the iliac/femoral artery during the LEP-Wertheim procedure was observed in 1.6% of cases. This complication has not been reported in the literature before in relation to radical surgery in cervical cancer. Operating teams using LEP operations should be aware of that risk, and should be prepared for treatment.

A 50-year-old female presented with a 10-day history of progressive swelling and pain in the left lower extremity, ultimately diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS). Initial ultrasound indicated thrombosis involving the left external iliac, femoral, and popliteal veins, among others. Blood tests revealed normocytic anemia, but thrombophilia screening and other blood markers were normal.

Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis is making a resurgence globally, and in Morocco, it can lead to rare but serious conditions like common iliac artery aneurysms, which pose high risks of infection and bleeding, necessitating careful treatment planning.
- A case involving a 54-year-old man presented with skin necrosis and a pulsating groin mass was diagnosed with a false aneurysm caused by tuberculosis, leading to emergency surgery that successfully restored arterial function.
- Although mycotic aneurysms are uncommon, they can result from direct infection or bloodborne spread, and while treatment success rates can be good, the mortality from complications like ruptures remains significant, highlighting the need for effective management strategies.
Introduction: Acute hemorrhage decreases blood pressure (BP) and sometimes causes hypovolemic shock. At this time, peripheral arteries are supposed to contract and increase peripheral vascular resistance to raise BP. However, there has not been an adequate index of a degree of arterial stiffness.

The aim of this retrospective single-centre cross-sectional observational study was to investigate co-prevalence of arterial aneurysm location systematically. Patients with the diagnosis of any arterial aneurysm from January 2006 to January 2016 were investigated in a single centre. Patients with hereditary disorders of connective tissue, systemic inflammatory disease, or arterial pathologies other than true aneurysms were excluded.

Objective: Tools for endovascular performance assessment are necessary in competency based education. This study aimed to develop and test a detailed analysis tool to assess steps, errors, and events in peripheral endovascular interventions (PVI).
Methods: A modified Delphi consensus was used to identify steps, errors, and events in iliac-femoral-popliteal endovascular interventions.
