Management of Symptomatic Venous Aneurysm

High-Output Heart Failure Due to an Iliac Arterio-Venous Fistula in Mycotic Aneurysm

Herein, we report a patient with arterio-venous fistula secondary to mycotic aneurysm, causing high output heart failure. The patient had one-year history of refractory heart failure and recurrent pulmonary edema. This presentation is a good example of curative surgically treatable cause of high-output congestive heart failure.Iran J Med Sci 2005; 30(1): 41-44. Keywords ● Arterio-venous fistula...

Wandering Spleen with Venous Aneurysm as the Cause of Recurrent Abdominal Pain and Thrombocytopenia

Rare cause of lower limb deep venous thrombosis: a case report.

deep venous thrombosis (dVT) in lower limbs caused by abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is rare. A combination of anatomical obstruction with surrounding inflammatory tissue and reduced blood flow in venous limb were probably the main reasons for the occurrence of the dVT. we report a case of infra-renal AAA presented as lower limb dVT and symptomatic pulmonary embolism.

Superficial venous aneurysms of the small saphenous vein.

Historically, superficial venous aneurysms of the lower extremities are considered rare. However, owing to the increased use of duplex ultrasound imaging, these entities are being recognized more frequently. The clinical significance of superficial aneurysms is poorly defined; yet, pulmonary emboli arising from superficial aneurysms have been reported. Symptomatic patients typically complain of...

Greater saphenous vein anomaly and aneurysm with subsequent pulmonary embolism

Venous aneurysms often present as painful masses. They can present either in the deep or superficial venous system. Deep venous system aneurysms have a greater risk of thromboembolism. Though rare, there have been case reports of superficial aneurysms and thrombus causing significant morbidity such as pulmonary embolism. We present a case of an anomalous greater saphenous vein connection with a...
