The mycotic tuberculous aneurysm of the Abdominal Aorta is an extremely rare disease. An aortic a life-threatening condition caused by infection. Tuberculous aneurysms aorta usually present as rapidly growing or ruptured pseudoaneurysms. Most these are pseudoaneurysm type. We presented case 61-year-old man who was diagnosed with tubercular abdominal associated posterior invasion vertebral body ...

This systematic review focuses on the 30-day mortality associated with open surgery and fenestrated endografts for short-necked (<15 mm) juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. A search for studies published in English and indexed in the PubMed and Medline electronic databases from 2002 to 2012 was performed, using "juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm" and "treatment" as the main keywords. Amon...

Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair has completely transformed the treatment of elective aneurysmal disease, but endovascular surgeons have been slow to adopt these techniques for ruptured aneurysms. There are endovascular skills and management techniques that are valuable to both vascular and general surgeons in the emergent setting. An endovascular approach to this disease process d...

Endovascular aneurysm repair has become the first-line treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms and iliac artery aneurysms in recent years. However, the diameter of the infrarenal aorta is larger than that of the aortic bifurcation, especially with small aortic diameters, for which a reversed tapered device is necessary. We describe the off-label use of the upside-down Gore Excluder limb and do...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate whether thoracic ascending aortic aneurysm (TAAA) induces platelet activation as mural thrombus participates in aortic dilatation in abdominal aortic aneurysm and TAAA are associated with rheological factors favoring coagulation activation. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied the relation between coagulation activation and aortic diameter in M...

Methods In emergency situation, preoperative patient work-up for cardio-vascular surgery is quite different from the elective setting. Since 03/2000 till 01/2012 we have analyzed a consecutive series of 12 172 cases out of which 2214 underwent emergency procedures (18.19%). The most frequent problems requiring urgent intervention were thoracic aortic aneurysms (448 cases; 20.24%); coronary arte...

INTRODUCTION Several studies have found an increased incidence of peripheral aneurysms in patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The aim of this study was to determine whether screening for popliteal aneurysms should be part of an AAA screening programme. SETTING A community-based AAA screening programme. METHODS The diameters of the internal abdominal aorta and both popliteal ar...

Infected abdominal aortic aneurysms are rare, but the symptoms are prone to become severe during the clinical course, and the prognosis is poor, with a high rate of rupture [1]. There are 2 objectives in the treatment of infected aortic aneurysms: prevention of aneurysm rup‐ ture and infection control. However, it is not easy to achieve both. No guideline has been established yet, and many issu...
