Venous hypertension from failure of proper venous valve function in the veins of thelower extremities causes changes over time in the microcirculation of the skin of the distal extremity. These changes set the stage for the development of a chronic nonhealing ulceration, which typically occurs at the ankle. The mainstay of treatment has been conservative, with compression dressings and elevatio...

A 61-year-old man underwent successful percutaneous revascularization of both lower limbs with multiple stent implantations. Paralysis of right lower limb was noticed after completion of procedure when transferring the patient from angiography table. Since hematoma compressing lumbosacral neural plexus could be a fatal complication, computed tomography (CT) image was taken. CT showed bulge of d...

OBJECTIVE To determine incidence of abnormal reflux flow (ARF) in legs of cirrhotic patients by Doppler ultrasonography (DUS). METHODS We prospectively studied 100 patients and 56 controls from the Faculty of Medicine, Eskisehir Osmangazi University Eskisehir, Turkey, between January 2010 and December 2011. We classified the legs according to the Clinical Etiology Anatomy Pathophysiology (CEA...

PURPOSE: A lack of recipient vessels for microsurgical extremity reconstructions may result from peripheral vascular disease, trauma, or oncologic resections and can be managed by vascular reconstructions with arteriovenous (AV) loops, which serve as recipient vessels for free flap anastomoses. In small and large animal models AV loops promote angiogenesis, presumably through elevated shear str...

OBJECTIVE To present the computed tomography (CT) findings for the iliac veins of 10 patients who had left-sided lower extremity deep vein thrombosis due to iliac vein compression syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS The CT findings for 10 cases of left-sided acute or chronic deep vein thrombosis caused by iliac vein compression syndrome were retrospectively evaluated. The patients were five women...

results: we performed reverse sural flaps in eight gunshot patients, to cover the defects of the lower leg and foot. surgical site infection observed in one patient (12.5%) was treated successfully with antibiotic therapy. the reverse sural flap provided a satisfactory coverage for gunshot defects in all the patients. objectives: the purpose of this prospective case series study was explore the...
