We describe a case of a fistula between an atherosclerotic aneurysm of the right common iliac artery and a caecal carcinoma, causing massive colonic bleeding. A fistula between a true aneurysm and a carcinoma of the colon has not to our knowledge been previously reported. Various aspects of this case are discussed from a pathogenetic point of view.

In patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), treatment of common iliac artery (CIA) aneurysm necessitates safe operative repair while simultaneously maintaining candidacy for future transplant. We present the case a patient type B aortic dissection and aorto-biiliac aneurysmal degeneration who has previously failed right kidney Initial planning was approached three goals: 1) endovascular as...

BACKGROUND The endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is becoming the preferred method to treat an aortic aneurysm with its better short-term postoperative mortality and morbidity rates in comparison with the open repair. A main drawback of this method is the need to use a nephrotoxic iodinated contrast medium to visualize the aorta and its side branches. CASE REPORT An 83-year-old man with an a...

A 23 year old male Nigerian presented to the Nephrology unit of the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, Nigeria with features of chronic renal failure secondary to chronic glomerulonephritis. He was referred to the surgical department of the hospital on account of severe torrential uncontrollable bleeding from an infected cannulation site. He was maintained on regular hemodia...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a risk factor for several cardiovascular disorders such as intracranial aneurysm or aortic dissection, preferentially occurring at the thoracic or abdominal level. A 47-year-old man suffering from ADPKD had renal transplantation. Sixteen hours after surgery, he presented with left leg pain. Clinical and ultrasound examination revealed thro...

Renal artery aneurysms (RAA) are the second most common visceral artery aneurysm. In cases of rupture they pose a significant and emergent surgical challenge. Extracorporeal arterial reconstruction and autotransplantation is often necessary in certain complex cases that are not amenable to aneurysm repair in vivo. We report a case of a 35 year old female with a RAA in a solitary functioning kid...

Introduction: We present the first reported case of a primary ileocolic fistula occurring in an 89year-old male. Case Report: The patient presented with abdominal pain and massive hematochezia. Subsequent radioimaging revealed an aneurysm of the right common iliac densely adherent to the sigmoid colon. A left to right femorofemoral bypass between the proximal right common femoral artery to the ...

An 82-year-old patient presented with a history of fever for 2 weeks and occasional rectal bleeding. He had undergone endovascular repair of a left internal iliac artery aneurysm (IIAA) 3 years previously (●" Fig.1); distal occlusion of the IIAA with coil embolization and proximal occlusion using an aorto–external iliac artery stent graft achieved successful exclusion of the IIAA (●" Fig.2). Co...

A 69 year old gentleman with a background history of previous coronary artery bypass graft underwent open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair for a 9 cm symptomatic juxta renal aortic aneurysm with a 20 mm dacron graft 14 years ago. He had pneumonia and pseudomembranous colitis post operatively but recovered completely and was discharged home. He returned within 2-3 weekswith abdominal and back pa...
