Ischemic steal syndrome (ISS) secondary to an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in the lower extremity (LE) is a rare occurrence. Herein, we report a case of symptomatic ISS in an adult male due to an iatrogenic AVF in the left LE, which was surgically repaired by placing an arterial stent across the acquired AVF of the peroneal artery to the peroneal vein.

Angioplasty and stenting of brachiocephalic artery stenosis can be complicated by ischemic stroke, local hematoma, thromboses, or dissection of access vessels. However, hemodynamic instability has not been reported as a complication of this treatment. We report the case of an 83-year-old man who developed hypotension and bradycardia after brachiocephalic artery stenting.

Distal hypoperfusion ischemic syndrome (DHIS), also known as dialysis access steal syndrome (DASS), is a rare but significant complication in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis through arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). This case report presents a female patient in her 40s with a complex medical history, including peripheral arterial disease, coronary artery disease, and recurrent cellulitis affecting her right hand, who developed DHIS following the placement of a brachiobasilic AVF. Despite optimal medical management, the patient exhibited persistent ischemic symptoms, including hand coolness and necrosis, ultimately requiring surgical ligation of the AVF.

Article Synopsis
  • A neonate with a mass in the coccygeal area experienced severe abdominal issues on day 4, including distension and bloody stomach contents, leading to a diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis.
  • Imaging indicated the coccygeal mass was a Type II sacrococcygeal teratoma, which likely caused bowel compression and contributed to the gut's digestive issues.
  • After the mass was surgically removed, the neonate showed no further symptoms, highlighting the need for careful observation in similar cases to catch potential complications early.
