A 71-year-old man underwent an abdominal aortic aneurysm open repair eleven years ago. The operation was performed with an aorto-bi-iliac Dacron graft. Three years later, the patient developed a right iliac artery occlusion. Correction was made with a femoral-to-femoral bypass. The patient presented in the emergency department with acute onset of orthopnea and exertional dyspnea. A physical exa...

This article describes the case of a 10-year-old girl with generalized tortuosity and lengthening of all her major arteries-the carotid arteries, the aorta from the arcus to the bifurcation, and the iliac, femoral, splenic, hepatic, renal, and intercostal arteries. The condition appears to be a new entity. Pertinent abnormalities were as follows: gross pulsation of the arteries in the neck, tel...

Introduction Variations of renal arteries occur frequently in general population with a reported prevalence of about 28–30% [1]. Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography is a fast, reliable, non-invasive, cost effective, preferable imaging modality for comprehensive evaluation of renal vascular anatomy as it depicts exquisite anatomical details [2–4]. Two types of numerical variati...

During endovascular aneurysm repair, interruption of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) or internal iliac arteries (IIAs) is thought to be associated with postoperative pelvic ischemic complications, including ischemic colitis. However, preserving the IIA does not guarantee protection against ischemic colitis. We herein report two cases of bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms, which were t...
