Endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms (EVAR) has gained widespread acceptance in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Prospective studies have shown advantages compared with open surgical repair, including decreased blood loss, operating time, hospital stay, morbidity, and mortality. Approximately 30% of patients treated by EVAR have ectatic or aneurysmal common iliac arteries not suitable for distal sealing zones. In these patients, one of the most commonly utilized options is exclusion of the internal iliac artery (IIA). Decreased pelvic perfusion carries the risk of ischemic complications, including buttock claudication, sexual dysfunction, and other devastating complications such as spinal cord injury, ischemic colitis, and gluteal muscle necrosis. This article summarizes the methods of pelvic revascularization in patients with aortoiliac aneurysms involving one or both common iliac arteries.

Objective: Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a pathological communication between the urinary bladder and the vagina. The most common cause of VVF is hysterectomy, while less common causes include obstetric trauma and pelvic surgery. Most cases require surgical intervention.

Objectives: Ruptured mycotic pseudoaneurysms are rare, yet devastating complications that can prove challenging to manage. In immunocompromised populations, highly virulent organisms such as Gemella morbillorum can be especially difficult to combat. Here, we outline our approach to temporizing maneuvers in an emergent setting and definitive revascularization in a 27-year-old with a ruptured mycotic iliac artery pseudoaneurysm from necrosis of her kidney and pancreas allografts.

Article Synopsis
- * A study was conducted via an online survey among specialists in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland to assess current practices in diagnosing and managing MTS in children and young adults, with responses from 33 professionals, predominantly from pediatric hospitals.
- * The findings revealed significant variations in diagnostic methods and treatment approaches, with many specialists using venous ultrasound and managing MTS through anticoagulation or stent placement, indicating a need for standardized guidelines to improve care and patient outcomes

Purpose: The present knowledge about lymphatic drainage of the ovary is based on carcinological studies, but it has only rarely been studied under physiological conditions. However, it is one of the preferential routes of dissemination in ovarian cancer, and understanding it is therefore vital for optimal carcinological management.Our purpose was to evaluate the feasibility of an innovative technique to study the lymphatic drainage territories of the ovary using a recirculation module on the cadaveric model.
