We present the case of a 71-year-old woman with gastrointestinal bleeding 21 days after undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Initial imaging revealed a pseudoaneurysm of nonaneurysmal infrarenal aorta, managed with an endovascular stent graft. Despite this procedure, recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding persisted, prompting further imaging that identified an aortoenteric fistula complicated by endograft infection. The fistula likely resulted from an iatrogenic injury caused by trocar...

Schwannoma is the most common neurogenic tumor in the posterior mediastinum, however it is rarely found in the anterior mediastinum (Mediastinum 4, 2020; Radiat Med 13(4):175-7). We report a large anterior med...

CONCLUSIONS: Impregnating vascular grafts from polyester and bovine pericardium with a nanocolloidal silver spray, before inoculation with a bacterial suspension, significantly reduced bacterial colonization on the grafts. The procedure proved feasible and should be tested further in in vitro and in vivo trials.

CONCLUSIONS: Single-stage pedicle preputial tube substitution urethroplasty with corpora cavernosa augmentation using BMG for primary peno-scrotal hypospadias repair in adults is safe and feasable surgery, despite a 30.4% complication rate. This is the option for penile lengthening as well as single stage urethral reconstruction.

The dissection of the iliac artery aneurysm is considerably rare, with limited documentation in the existing literature. Iliac artery dissection can be attributed to several causative factors, including trauma...

The research focused on examining CpG methylation within the TXNRD2 promoter area in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients, aiming to correlate methylation levels with clinical indexes to guide CHF treatment.

There is no solid evidence on the clinical benefits of blood cardioplegia or Custodiol™ in procedures other than coronary artery bypass grafting. We aimed to compare mortality and the risk of major cardiovascu...

Congenital focal abdominal aortic coarctation (CAAC) is a rare vascular malformation frequently misdiagnosed as mid-aortic syndrome (MAS). A significant challenge in managing CAAC, particularly in young indivi...

CONCLUSIONS: IVC reconstruction, particularly using BP, is feasible across a range of tumour types and offers favourable post-operative and short-term survival outcomes, independent of reconstruction technique. BP interposition graft facilitates resection of more extensive disease with similar outcomes to less extensive disease managed with primary repair or patch graft.
