Isolated iliac artery aneurysms occur ten times less frequently than aortic aneurysms. Symptoms of compression of other pelvic structures may cause their presentation and occasionally they rupture into adjacent organs. We describe only the third case of spontaneous rupture of an isolated iliac aneurysm into a ureter which led to massive haematuria.

Recurrent peripheral ischemia following endovascular repair of an infrarenal aortic aneurysm: what did we miss?
J Surg Case Rep

Vascular Surgery Department, Bonifatius Hospital, Wilhelmstraße 13, 49808 Lingen, Germany.
We document a case of a 75-year-old patient with a history of hypercholesterolemia and hypertension, who underwent endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with common iliac artery ectasia. Despite an initially successful procedure, the patient experienced recurrent episodes of acute limb ischemia in his right leg. Subsequent imaging revealed thrombus formation distal to the stent graft, constituting a potential source of embolization, which warranted a reevaluation of the treatment strategy.

Mechanical valve leaflets have the potential to detach and migrate to unintended locations, leading to life- and limb-threatening situations. We report a unique case of a dislodged mechanical aortic valve leaflet in the right iliac artery bifurcation after a redo mitral valve replacement. This was promptly recognized by input from a multidisciplinary team, allowing immediate correction of the aortic valve insufficiency followed by staged retrieval of the dislodged leaflet to avoid vascular complications.

Objective: Elevated systolic blood pressure and increased pulse pressure are closely associated with renal damage; however, the exact mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of increased pulse pressure on tubulointerstitial fibrosis and renal damage in elderly rats with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). Additionally, the role of renal tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its upstream signalling pathways were elucidated.

Endovascular treatment (EVT) for patients with lower extremity artery disease is widely used as a less invasive alternative to surgical bypass. Recently, transradial artery intervention has gained popularity owing to its minimally invasive nature. The distance from the radial artery to the target vessel is critical for success; however, effective pre-assessment methods have not yet been established.

Introduction And Importance: Internal iliac artery aneurysms repair represents a life-threatening condition due to their anatomical position and the risk of rupture. Iliac branch devices are strongly recommended for anatomically suitable patients, but limited alternatives exist when their use is unsuitable. The use of custom-made fenestrated endografts is well documented in other aortic territories, however, their application for the treatment of internal iliac artery aneurysm remains limited.
