Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare but severe necrotizing infection often associated with diabetes, ureteral obstruction, and gas production in the renal parenchyma and perinephric area. This report describes a 54-year-old man with type 2 diabetes who presented with right lumbar pain and was diagnosed with EPN complicated by right ureteral calculi and perinephric gas accumulation. Despite initial improvement with fluid resuscitation, antibiotics, and drainage, inadequate blood glucose control led to a worsening of the infection, eventually involving the psoas major muscle and iliac vessels.

We report a case of a 75-year-old man diagnosed with Parkes-Weber syndrome with an infected common femoral artery aneurysm secondary to chronic venous ulcers and groin infection. Given the symptomatic and rapid enlargement of the aneurysm, emergency aneurysmectomy and crossover femoro-femoral bypass were performed with an omental flap routed intraluminally through the aneurysm of the ipsilateral external iliac artery. The transarterial route enabled the short-cutting of the omental flap and the potential prevention of infection in the adjacent external iliac artery.

Multiple Aneurysmal Arterial Disease (MAD) is an extremely rare arterial vascular condition and is produced by an abnormal alteration of smooth muscle cells and neutrophils, producing a multiple-aneurysmal degeneration. We present the case of a 36-year-old patient with a MAD in the cerebral territory and extremities with no surgical indication; however, with an aneurysm of the right inferior renal segmental artery, inferior mesenteric artery, left common iliac artery, and right internal iliac artery with surgical indication. An open approach with single-stage surgical repair, including graft interposition, bypass, exclusion, and vascular reimplantation, was performed.
