The majority of arterial pseudoaneurysms treated in our department vascular surgery are consequences catheter-associated medical procedures and located the groin region. Clinical signs, combined with recent history a percutaneous intervention, ensure quick diagnosis therapy. However, can develop after any artery body is injured. No consensus on therapeutic strategy achieved because rare nature ...

This reports a case of a 68-year-old woman who had undergone coronary artery bypass 5 years previously. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed that the ascending aorta was dilated to about 8 cm in diameter, with type A dissection, and with a patent left internal thoracic artery (LITA) graft to the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Angiography at the ascending aorta did not reveal a ...

UNLABELLED Duodenal injuries, though rare, carry high rates of morbidity and mortality. The aim of the study was to evaluate the healing of the duodenal wall with the use of a Small Intestinal Submucosa (SIS) patch. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied 40 Wistar-Albino rats divided into two groups. In group A, we created a small defect in the duodenal wall, which was immediately covered with a SIS...

PURPOSE To summarize and compare published short-term results of elective endovascular and open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A MEDLINE search of the English literature was performed. Studies with at least 10 patients in each treatment group were included if they reported patient characteristics, complications, and mortality. Two reviewers independently ...

A best evidence topic has been constructed using a described protocol. The three-part question addressed was: In morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery, when a ventral hernia is picked up in clinic or intraoperatively is concurrent repair of the hernia better than delayed repair after weight loss with regards to complication rates? Using the reported search, 179 papers were found....

laryngotracheal and tracheobronchial injuries are uncommon, and their successful diagnosis and management often require a high level of expertise. this paper aimed at retrospective analysis of a thoracic surgeon's experience in the diagnosis and management of traumatic injuries to the larynx, trachea and major bronchi. forty one patients with major airway trauma were managed from march 1994 to ...

Intruduction: Esophageal atresia (EA) is a congenital anomaly treated by surgical reconstruction. Some early postoperative complications may be encountered we assessed complications following EA repair in a large number of neonates with EA / TEF. methods: 243 patients with EA / TEF that were treated operatively in Sarvar Children’s Hospital from 2002 to 2010 were studied. Early post-operat...

The ideal management of the dislocated knee remains controversial. These injuries often can be elusive; a significant number of dislocated knees spontaneously reduce and appear relatively benign on routine radiographs. A high index of suspicion, based on the mechanism of injury, soft-tissue assessment of the limb, and the level of knee instability should alert the physician to the possibility o...

The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has revolutionized the care of the critical infant born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). In some respects, this is surprising given our current lack of understanding regarding optimal preoperative ventilation strategy, identification of patients most likely to benefit from ECMO, and the correct timing of hernia repair for the in...
