A 96-year-old male presented with left lower extremity pain, swelling, and vascular compromise. Computed tomographic angiography revealed an actively rupturing distal superficial femoral artery aneurysm. The patient underwent prompt aneurysm excision with graft interposition and had a successful postoperative outcome. Our case illustrates the critical role of imaging in establishing a definitiv...

We report for the first time two cases of vein graft spasm following distal artery bypass in the lower extremity. In the first case, graft spasm occurred in the region just distal to the proximal anastomosis and it resolved without surgical intervention. In the second case, completion angiography showed defective filling around the distal anastomosis. We considered this to be due to technical e...

Introduction: Postoperative wound infection is a complication that occurs after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The aim of this study was to examine the incidence of wound infections after coronary artery bypass graft surgery among the patients operated in Ghaem Hospital in the city of Mashhad from 2009-2011. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in the years 2009 to 2011 o...

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...

Comparative study of two plastic materials, i.e. frozen cortical allobone and demineralized perforated (perfoost) was performed. Testing the samples from same part tibia carried out using Zwick 1464 apparatus. It showed that firmness perfoost lower than allobone: during compression - by 33%, switching 66%, bending 46% for metaphyseal sample 70% diaphyseal one. Perfoost possesses rigidity allows...
