An arteriovenous-enteric fistula is a 3-way connection between the vascular and enteric system and associated with high mortality. We describe a case of iliac artery-inferior vena cava-duodenal fistula in a young female with a retroperitoneal mass presenting with sepsis and hemorrhagic shock with a catastrophic clinical course. These fistulas can be missed on endoscopy/colonoscopy and are usually diagnosed on computed tomography angiogram of the abdomen. Complex vasculoenteric fistula should be among differentials in patients presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding, especially with a history of malignancy, radiation, foreign bodies, and trauma. The management is complex and should involve a multidisciplinary approach involving vascular surgery, intervention radiology, and gastroenterologist.

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.

Most patients with heart failure are typically categorized as having either systolic or diastolic dysfunction with elevated systemic vascular resistance. Individuals with high-output cardiac failure exhibit normal cardiac function and decreased systemic vascular resistance.

Background: Extreme Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusions (XLIF), Oblique Lateral Interbody Fusion (OLIF,) and Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) were largely developed to provide indirect lumbar decompressions for spinal stenosis, deformity, and/or instability.
Methods: Here, we have reviewed and updated the incidence of intraoperative errors attributed to XLIF, OLIF, and LLIF. Specifically, we focused on how often these procedures caused new neurological deficits, major vessel, visceral, and other injuries, including those warranting secondary surgery.
