We encountered a patient with a large retroperitoneal hematoma due to rupture of a common femoral artery aneurysm. A 77-year-old man was transferred to our hospital with left groin pain and shock. Computed tomography demonstrated a large retroperitoneal hematoma involving the left iliofemoral segment with extravasation of contrast into the left groin from a ruptured left common femoral artery a...

Secondary aortoenteric fistula (SAF) is an uncommon but very important complication of abdominal aortic reconstruction. The complication often occurs months to years after aortic surgery. The clinical manifestation of the aortoenteric fistula is always upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Treatment of the disease is early surgical intervention. If operative treatment is not performed promptly, the ...

BACKGROUND Stent-graft migration is a late-term complication of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). A recent published study suggests that stent graft migration could be explained only by aortic neck elongation, mimicking the appearance of distal stent graft migration. Several studies about the use of dynamic CT Angiography (CTA) in the evaluation of aortic conformation change...

Tuberculosis of aortic aneurysm was first 1 reported in 1882 . It usually results from direct extension of the disease from the contagious tuberculous spines and clinically present with backache, low grade fever, weight loss and abdominal pain. . Early diagnosis and a combination of surgical intervention (aortic reconstruction and extensive excision of the infected field) and prolonged anti tub...

  Multiple aorto-cardiac cavity communications is very rare but important complication of prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis. The case below illustrates multiple aorto-cardiac cavity fistula formation following prostethic aortic valve endocarditis presented with slowly progressive symptoms of heart failure. A brief review of surgical reconstruction and the existing literature are presented, i...

reconstruction of breast with transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (tram) flap is the standard for reconstruction of breast following mastectomy. in this article, authors report their experience with pedicled tram flap reconstruction of the breast. records for the patients who had undergone breast reconstruction with pedicled tram flap were retrieved. records of outpatient follow-ups were a...

We present the case of a giant aneurysm and dissection of the abdominal aorta in an eight month old infant. Imaging studies especially a helicoid computerized axial tomography with 3D reconstruction, showed a lesion which extended from the diaphragm to the iliac arteries. The clinical findings and the above mentioned studies revealed non-obstructive heart rhabdomyomas, tubers in the brain and t...
