The prognostic of vascular trauma does not only depend on the associated lesions and time before treatment. Without obvious symptoms, serious vascular lesions can be overlooked. A preexisting arteriosclerosis explains the different outcome in geriatric patients. 84 cases of vascular trauma were observed between 1969 and 1977. 33 of these cases were iatrogenic. The patients involved are examined clinically and undergo ultrasonic velocity detection before and after effort (test of Strandness). The outcome showed 5 deaths, 7 amputations and 8 vascular sequela. Only 2 deaths and 3 amputations are directly related to the vascular trauma.

A case of subcutaneous metastatic malignant melanoma of the left medial ankle: a case report and review of literature.
J Med Case Rep

Background: Although rare, melanoma confined to the dermis or subcutaneous tissue without evidence of a primary cutaneous site should provoke consideration of melanoma of unknown primary. This diagnosis carries a favorable prognosis when compared with cutaneous metastatic melanoma. Several hypotheses have been proposed for how melanoma of unknown primary develops, two of which were considered in our patient case: (1) spontaneous regression of the primary tumor following metastasis or (2) the traumatic implantation of ectopic melanocytic cells in other tissues, such as the subcutaneous tissue.

Department of Family Health and Preventive Medicine, Stony Brook University Renaissance School of Medicine, Stony Brook, New York, United States of America.
Background: Splenic artery embolization (SAE) is increasingly favored for adult blunt splenic injury management. We compared SAE to other splenic injury management strategies using robust statistical techniques.
Materials And Methods: Univariate analyses of demographics and outcomes were performed for four patient groups: observation, SAE, splenic surgery, splenic surgery + SAE in the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Program (TQIP) database.

Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Nippon Medical School Musashi Kosugi Hospital, Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan.
BACKGROUND Iliac vein injuries usually require surgical intervention due to their high mortality rates. Although conservative management may be applicable in some cases of blunt trauma, the suitability of this approach for treating penetrating injuries remains underexplored. CASE REPORT A 51-year-old man sustained a common iliac vein injury following rectal impalement in a collapsing chair.

Background: Studies on renal vein thrombosis have been conducted as case reports or case series. The renal outcomes and mortality risk of renal vein thrombosis have not been fully established. We aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities, and predictors of renal outcomes and mortality in patients with renal vein thrombosis in a large multicenter cohort.
