Venous aneurysms (VAs) are localized venous dilatation lesions without venous extensions or tortuosity, and unlike varicose veins, their occurrence is relatively rare, especially in the upper limbs. Their origin is unknown, but trauma, inflammation, and congenital weakness of the veins are involved. In this report, we described a case of a VA on the left basilic vein of a 38-year-old female patient with no history of trauma.
We report the case of a 43-year-old man with acute type A aortic dissection. Aortic arch replacement was performed. During postoperative recovery, erythema and swelling around the midline wound was observed. As purulent discharge was observed when an incision was made, a specimen was sent for culture, but all tested negative. As the results were found to be aseptic, we performed omental implantation. The department of rheumatology was consulted. They suspected SLE, and treatment with prednisolone was initiated. The patient was discharged after an uneventful recovery. we encountered a rare case in which SLE was diagnosed from aseptic abscess.
Venous aneurysms (VAs) are rare disease that can occur in both superficial and deep veins throughout the body. 42-year-old man noted a gradually enlarging mass in the proximal aspect of his right forearm in his late 20s. He sought consult in our hospital to address this cosmetic problem. 3D-CT and ultrasonography revealed two VAs. We report a rare case of upper extremity VAs.
Surgical revascularization includes (1) bypass and (2) thromboendarterectomy including patch plasty. Hybrid surgery for lower extremity revascularization combines all of these surgical procedures with endovascular therapy (EVT) and is an effective treatment unique to vascular surgeons. Recent advances in EVT, including the emergence of new devices, have led to changes in hybrid surgery. In this article, we will show the current status of hybrid surgery with our recent results.
