The differential diagnosis of pulmonary disease of vascular origin must include pulmonary edema, uremia, Loeffler’s syndrome, periarteritis nodosa, Wegener’s granulomatosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, rheumatoid lung, pulmonary hemosiderosis, pulmonary purpura with nephritis, a pulmonary embolism and pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. Puhnonary edema and uremia have been included ...

Vascular abnormalities are uncommon causes of uterine bleeding. Laparoscopic surgeries, however, require expertise and improper techniques can lead to major vascular complications. We report an unusual case of utero-adenexal arterio- venous fistula with arterio - venous malformation due to pelvic trauma caused during laparoscopic sterilisation procedure, which was treated by percutaneous emboli...

Background: A coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an aberrant vascular contact of arteries with cardiac chambers or any section the pulmonary systemic circulation, which accounts for 0.3% congenital heart disorders. CAFs have been observed to be as common 0.9% at computed tomographic (CT) angiography, greater than previously estimated prevalence 0.002 – invasive angiography.
 Case Summary: 76...

This study describes an alternative arteriovenous fistula (AVF) model in the rat in which the animals develop significant neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) not only at the distal anastomotic site, but also throughout the fistula body. This aortocaval fistula was established by anastomosing the distal end of the renal vein to the abdominal aorta after unilateral nephrectomy. The increased hemodynamic...

An 84-year-old woman with vascular dementia and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement 2 months prior presented with a fecal odor from the PEG tube and diarrhea at each feeding. No feces output from the PEG tube or peristomal leakage was noted. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed penetration of the PEG tube through the transverse colon to the stomach, without surrounding infl...

We report the case of a 67-year-old man who was admitted to our department with acute rectal bleeding. The patient had had previous aortoiliac surgery with the utilization of an aortobifemoral vascular prosthesis. Diagnosis of aortoenteric fistula was made between the distal suture line of the right graft leg and the sigmoid colon. This fistula had an enterocutaneous component. After explorator...

Arteriovenous fistulas have long intrigued cardiologists, in part because they are uncommon but also because of their physiologic effects, both local and general. For instance, a fistula in an extremity in children enhances growth of that extremity, whereas a fistula located in the kidney can cause systemic hypertension. Besides local effects, systemic arteriovenous fistulas, if large, have maj...

Worldwide greater than two million patients need renal replacement therapy. The aging population coupled with increasing need of dialysis access leaves surgeons gaining innovative ways to solve this crisis. Guidelines developed by the DOQI and Society of Vascular Surgery advised the creation of autologous fistula due to better long-term patency, fewer re-interventions, lower health-care cost, a...

Aneurysms and pseudoaneurysm are commonly encountered with arteriovenous vascular access for haemodialysis. They difficult complications to manage. Due the limited number of centers available, patients were unable seek treatment until further arise. The technique partial aneurysmectomy primary repair was adopted as method in this study. A total 20 cases underwent surgery from 2019 2020. Among c...

Background: Hemodialysis is still the most common renal replacement therapy (RRT) modality in end stage renal disease patients (ESRD), the first problem to be faced when choosing hemodialysis for patients with ESRD is the vascular access, dia¬lysis delivery should be adequate not only to improve quality of life but also to prolong sur¬vival, quality of life adjusted for life expectancy defined ...
