GANGRENE and eyanosis of an extremity, due to thrombophlebitis with massive venous occlusions, is an uncommon condition and is often confused with primary arterial oeclusive disease. With massive venous occlusion and the associated arterial venospasm the blood flow may be so impeded to an extremity that cyanosis and eventually gangrene may occur. The recognition of this is important, since this...

AIM To evaluate the importance of surgical bypass between the terminal part of functional arteriovenous shunt (av) for hemodialysis on upper extremity and inner jugular vein in axillosubclavian venous segment obstruction associated with central venous hypertension. METHOD Retrospective assessment of surgical bypass between central segments of av fistula and ipsilateral/contralateral inner jug...

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...
