The technique of subintimal angioplasty or percutaneous intentional extraluminal angioplasty for recanalization of femoropopliteal occlusions in critical limb ischaemia is described in detail. Various indications and contraindications are outlined. The technique is easy to learn and offers a high success rate, combined with a low rate of complications.

Superficial thrombophlebitis is known as a frequent complication of Behçet’s disease. Infliximab may promote healing of superficial thrombophlebitis in patients with Behçet’s disease. However, thrombophlebitis as a complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is rare and treatments have not been reported. We describe the case of a 47-year-old man with RA with complications of superficial thromboph...

Superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is generally considered a subtype of less invasive ESCC. Yet a subset of these superficial ESCC would have metastasis after esophagostomy or endoscopic resection and lead to poor prognosis. The objective of this study is to determine biomarkers that can identify such subset of superficial ESCC that would have metastasis after surgery using g...

Herein, we report the case of a 51 year-old Caucasian woman, Fitzpatrick’s skin type III, successfully treated with ingenol mebutate (IM) 0.05% gel on a large-sized(ø 3 cm) superficial BCC (sBCC) localized on the right shoulder. Such lesion appeared as an asymptomatic, irregularly round-shaped patch. The diagnosis was ruled out by clinical and dermoscopic examinations (Figure 1), confirmed by h...

Shear rate is significantly lower in the superficial femoral compared with the brachial artery in the supine posture. The relative shear rates in these arteries of subjects in the upright posture (seated and/or standing) are unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that upright posture (seated and/or standing) would produce greater shear rates in the superficial fem...
