Introduction. Primary venous tumours are a rare cause of deep vein thrombosis. The authors present a case where the definitive diagnosis was delayed by inconclusive complementary imaging. Clinical Case. A thirty-seven-year-old female presented with an iliofemoral venous thrombosis of the right lower limb. The patient had presented with an episode of femoral-popliteal vein thrombosis five months...

Bleeding related to inadvertent femoral catheter insertion is an infrequent but morbid complication. We report two cases of acute life-threatening bleeding after attempts at femoral vein catheterization. Both patients were morbidly obese, had multiple comorbidities, and were at high risk for surgical intervention. Aggressive resuscitation failed to stabilize the patients. Emergency digital subt...

Behçet’s disease (BD) is rare in children. Herein, we report a case of 12-year-old male child with history left superficial femoral vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary embolism, admitted for multiple located the inferior vena cava, right atrium ventricle associated artery aneurisms fissurations concomitant to oral aphthosis, which was suggestive BD. Despite corticoids immunosuppressi...

The difference in HDL-lipid constituents was examined in sera from the hepatic vein and femoral artery. In HDL, HDL2 and HDL3 the most pronounced difference existed in the triglyceride concentration which was significantly higher in the femoral artery as compared to the hepatic vein. The cholesterol and phospholipid concentrations of HDL2 alone but not of HDL3 were also significantly higher in ...

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare condition that accounts for 5-10% of all soft-tissue sarcomas (STS). SS locates most frequently near the joints, in particular at the lower extremities, but it can also occur in other locations. We report a case of a 42-year-old male complaining of a slow-growth mass on his right thigh, reported as a femoral nerve shwannoma on the basis of the preoperative radiol...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Two-point compression ultrasonography focuses on the evaluation of common femoral and popliteal veins for complete compressibility. The presence of isolated thrombi in proximal veins other than the common femoral and popliteal veins should prompt modification of 2-point compression technique. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and distribution of deep ven...

This prospective, analytical study was conducted in our university hospital from June 2010 to September 2011 and aimed to know the effect of abdominal compression on the transverse diameter of femoral vein using ultrasonography on stable patients in emergency room and intensive care units. All the stable patients in emergency room [ER] and in Intensive Care Units [ICUs] were included in the stu...

A 77-year-old man with a history of hemodialysis was referred due to swelling of the right groin. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed extravasation of the medium from the superficial femoral artery (SFA) with surrounding large hematoma. Three-dimensional CT angiography revealed rupture of SFA just distal to common femoral artery with pseudoaneurysmal formation. At an emergent surgery, SFA ...
