Unlabelled: Renal cell carcinoma is considered one of the most common and deadly cancers, which remain asymptomatic until the late stage, needing total nephrectomy when it is detected. In mono-kidney patients this will lead to hemodialysis and later a kidney transplant.

Case Presentation: This case represents our center's experience and strategy in managing renal cell carcinoma in a one-kidney patient by endovascular management first followed by partial nephrectomy.

Clinical Discussion: The patient's postoperative follow-up has a good quality of life with no signs of tumor recurrence or metastasis in addition to normal kidney functions tests.

Conclusion: Preoperative endovascular intervention can represent a good and accepted solution for a partial nephrectomy preserving not only a normal renal function, without the need for kidney transplantation, but also a good quality of life.

Individuals with chronic inflammatory and immune disorders are at an increased risk of atherosclerotic events and premature cardiovascular (CV) disease. Despite extensive literature exploring the relationship between "non-traditional" atherosclerotic conditions and CV risk, many aspects remain unresolved, including the underlying mechanisms promoting the "non-traditional CV risk", the development of an innovative and comprehensive CV risk assessment tool, and recommendations for tailored interventions. This review aims to evaluate the available evidence on key "non-traditional" CV risk-enhancer conditions, with a focus on assessing and managing CV risk factors.

Rupture of the thyrocervical trunk aneurysm into the thoracic cavity does not occur very often. It is an urgent condition due to hemorrhagic shock by massive hemothorax with potentially fatal consequences. Pregnancy and puerperium are additional risk factors for a rupture of the thyrocervical trunk aneurysm in patients with neurofibromatosis and aneurysms.

Background: Renal cell carcinoma tends to invade venous structures, frequently extending beyond the inferior vena cava and into the heart itself, such as into the right atrium or right ventricle. Resection of tumor burden, particularly tumor thrombus, often requires cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), which is not feasible for all patients.

Methods: Described in this study is a novel, minimally invasive endovascular approach involving endovascular thrombectomy as a viable approach in these select patients.

Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms are rare but potentially life-threatening vascular injuries frequently associated with trauma such as clavicle fractures. In this paper we describe the case of a 49-year-old male who developed a post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the subclavian artery after a bicycle accident. The diagnosis was delayed due to non-specific symptoms and an initially missed aneurysm on computed tomography imaging.

Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM) can present themselves in an ample clinical spectrum. They worsen over time, creating local complications such as ulceration, destruction, infection, pain, and severe bleeding. Small focal AVMs can effectively be cured by surgery and/or endovascular techniques, whereas larger ones are of difficult management.
