This case report describes a 69-year-old male patient who presented with an isolated right common iliac artery aneurysm measuring 8 cm in diameter. During pre-operative workup for planned open surgical repair, the patient's condition deteriorated and imaging showed rupture of the aneurysm. The patient underwent an emergency retroperitoneal surgical procedure to ligate the right iliac artery, perform an extra-anatomic femorofemoral bypass, and repair the ruptured aneurysm. Post-operatively, the patient recovered well with all pulses intact. Isolated iliac artery aneurysms are rare but can rupture with high mortality if not repaired. Both open surgical and endovascular techniques are used for treatment.

A lecture about the management approaches for abdominal vascular injuries. Injury to the major arteries and veins in the abdomen are technical challenge to the surgeon and are often fatal. All vessels are susceptible to injury with penetrating trauma. Vascular injuries in blunt trauma are far less common and usually involve the renal arteries and veins, though all other vessels, including the aorta, can be injured. Blunt trauma results from deceleration, AP compression or pelvic fractures.
The document discusses vascular injury in pelvic trauma. It covers pelvic anatomy, mechanisms of injury including blunt and penetrating trauma, clinical presentation, classification of pelvic fractures, and management approaches. Key points are the complex pelvic vasculature, need for rapid diagnosis and treatment given risk of hemorrhage, and use of techniques like bed sheets, MAST devices, or C-clamps to reduce pelvic fractures and stabilize patients.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are permanent dilations of the aorta that affect 150,000 people per year in the US, 15,000 of which are fatal. AAAs can be diagnosed through ultrasound, CT, CTA, MRI, and other imaging methods. Treatment options include open surgical repair or endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) where stent grafts are deployed via catheter to exclude the aneurysm from blood flow. Common issues after EVAR are endoleaks where blood leaks around the stent graft, and stent graft migration.
This document provides a guide on abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) for medical students. It defines AAAs as abnormal dilatations of the aorta between the diaphragm and iliac arteries. AAAs are usually asymptomatic but can rupture, causing severe abdominal pain and shock. Risk factors include smoking, male sex, age, and family history. Ultrasound is used to detect AAAs by measuring diameter. Larger AAAs have higher rupture risks and may require elective open or endovascular repair surgery to prevent rupture. Complications after endovascular repair include endoleaks, where blood bypasses the graft. Ruptured AAAs require emergency open repair surgery.

Aneurysms of upper and lower extremities + aneurysmsTapish Sahu
The document discusses aneurysms of the upper and lower extremity arteries. It defines an aneurysm as a permanent localized dilation of an artery with at least a 50% increase in diameter compared to normal. The most commonly affected vessel is the abdominal aorta. The document discusses the classification, presentation, diagnosis and treatment options for various types of peripheral artery aneurysms including femoral, popliteal, profunda femoris and persistent sciatic artery aneurysms. Treatment involves open or endovascular surgical repair depending on the location and size of the aneurysm.
Endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysmsApollo Hospitals
Endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms has significantly reduced mortality and morbidity compared to open surgery. It involves placing stent grafts using catheters to exclude aneurysms from blood flow. Proper patient selection based on aneurysm anatomy and vessel access is important for success. Follow up imaging is needed to monitor for complications like endoleaks. Mid-term results show endovascular repair provides good outcomes with 85% survival at 18-24 months for thoracic aneurysms. It has emerged as an alternative to open surgical repair for properly selected abdominal aortic aneurysm cases.
The document discusses intimal hyperplasia, which is the abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle cells within the innermost layer of arteries. It describes the pathophysiology, stages, and response to different types of arterial injury. Intimal hyperplasia is a major contributor to restenosis and graft failure. The document outlines the key stages following arterial injury, including platelet activation, thrombosis, leukocyte migration, and smooth muscle cell proliferation. It also discusses the response of veins, prosthetic grafts, and dialysis access sites to injury and techniques to reduce intimal hyperplasia.
This document discusses vascular anomalies, which are soft tissue lesions caused by aberrant blood vessel growth. It focuses on arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), which are high-flow vascular malformations. The case report describes a 30-year old female patient with a maxillary AVM that caused swelling. Diagnostic angiography revealed the AVM was supplied by the internal maxillary artery. To treat the AVM, interventional radiography was performed using selective transarterial embolization of the maxillary artery with polyvinyl alcohol particles. This successfully occluded the vessels feeding the AVM with no complications for the patient.
The popliteal artery and vein are vulnerable to injury due to their location behind the knee. Popliteal artery injuries have high amputation rates of around 30-35% due to the end artery nature with limited collaterals. Prompt diagnosis and surgical repair through a medial approach with interposition grafting can achieve limb salvage in over 85% of cases. Factors associated with higher amputation risks include delay in treatment, the presence of additional injuries, and blunt rather than penetrating mechanisms of injury.
This document discusses graft infection, including its incidence, classification, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and surgical treatment/outcomes. Graft infections can be classified based on their relationship to postoperative wounds or extent of graft involvement. Diagnosis involves imaging like CT scans and lab tests/cultures. Treatment goals are to eradicate infection while maintaining blood flow, and options depend on clinical factors and infection extent. Surgical treatment and outcomes are discussed.
22.2.2018 acute limb ischemia vs critical limb ischemiaMai Parachy
This document summarizes the key differences and management recommendations for acute limb ischemia (ALI) and critical limb ischemia (CLI). It defines ALI as an acute condition lasting less than 2 weeks characterized by severe limb hypoperfusion, while CLI is a chronic condition lasting over 2 weeks characterized by rest pain and non-healing wounds. For ALI, the recommended treatments include heparin, oxygen, analgesia, and emergent revascularization via catheter-directed thrombolysis or surgical embolectomy. For CLI, the recommendations include physiological testing, imaging to guide revascularization, and endovascular or open surgical procedures based on the lesion location. Revascularization aims to improve tissue perfusion and prevent amputation for
1. Arterial aneurysms most commonly occur in the abdominal aorta and can be caused by degenerative processes, infections, trauma, or genetic conditions.
2. Abdominal aortic aneurysms are the most prevalent type of aneurysm in the United States and rupture of aneurysms is a serious complication.
3. Aneurysms can be classified by their morphology (fusiform vs. saccular), etiology (degenerative, inflammatory, infectious), and location (aortic, iliac, femoral, etc.). Management depends on the type and severity of the individual aneurysm.
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are dilations of the abdominal aorta that increase the risk of rupture. AAAs are typically repaired surgically either through open or endovascular procedures.
- AAAs are caused by degradation of elastic and connective tissues in the aortic wall from factors such as smoking, genetics, and atherosclerosis. Left untreated, AAAs gradually enlarge and have a high risk of fatal rupture.
- Clinical diagnosis involves abdominal examination for a pulsatile mass and imaging tests. Treatment depends on AAA size and involves surgery once a threshold diameter is reached to prevent rupture. Emergency surgery is needed for ruptured AAAs.

1) The document discusses the concept of angiosomes, which are the three-dimensional blocks of tissue fed by source arteries. It explores how well understanding angiosome territories can guide revascularization approaches.
2) There are different types of endovascular revascularization approaches that can be taken, including complete revascularization targeting all arteries, angiosome-guided targeting the artery directly feeding the problem area, and wound-related targeting the artery directly feeding the wound region.
3) For well-demarcated lesions, angiosome-guided or wound-related revascularization appears to provide good results, while complete revascularization is recommended for large wounds, deep infections, or when aggressive surgical treatment is planned
This document discusses penetrating aortic ulcers (PAUs), which are focal ulcerative lesions in the aortic wall. PAUs have unknown causes but are often associated with atherosclerosis. They can progress to pseudoaneurysms or ruptured aneurysms. Symptomatic PAUs usually require intervention to prevent rupture, while asymptomatic cases may be monitored. Computed tomography is the primary diagnostic tool and endovascular stent grafting is now usually the preferred treatment approach over open surgery due to lower risks, though complications can still occur.

Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU) is an ulcerating atherosclerotic lesion that penetrates the aortic wall. CT is often used to evaluate PAU, showing features like a focal outpouching with adjacent hematoma. While some cases progress slowly, PAU carries a risk of complications like rupture. Treatment depends on factors like symptoms, expansion rate, and surgical risk. Careful monitoring is important due to variable prognosis.
The document discusses various issues in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) management, including screening, surveillance, predicting operative risk, and choosing between open repair and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). It provides details on screening criteria in different countries, predictors of mortality for open repair, outcomes from EVAR clinical trials showing lower reintervention rates compared to open repair, and types of endoleaks after EVAR. The document also describes fenestrated and branched endografts for more complex aneurysm anatomies and notes there are still unresolved issues regarding EVAR indications.
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a focal dilation of the abdominal aorta greater than 1.5 times its normal diameter. AAAs are classified as either true or false aneurysms. Risk factors include smoking, hypertension, and family history. Rupture of an AAA leads to exsanguination and death and is among the top 10 causes of death in men over 65 years old. Treatment options include open surgical repair or endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) with a stent graft, with EVAR being less invasive but requiring more follow-up. Early diagnosis and elective repair can significantly reduce mortality from AAAs.
1. There are different types of endoleaks that can occur after EVAR, with Types I and III considered the most serious due to their risk of rupture if not treated.
2. Type II endoleaks are more common but often have a benign natural history, with many resolving spontaneously. Treatment is only recommended if the aneurysm sac enlarges.
3. Endovascular techniques can be used to treat Type I, II, and III endoleaks via extensions, coils, glue, or onyx, with the goal of occluding the source of blood flow into the sac. Transarterial, translumbar, and transcaval approaches may be necessary depending on anatomy.
This document discusses abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). It notes that Albert Einstein died from an AAA, which affects over 700,000 people in Europe. AAAs are a silent killer as they often show no symptoms. The main risk factors are being male, smoking history, hypertension, family history, and increasing age. Ultrasound is an effective way to diagnose AAAs. If left untreated, AAAs over 5cm have a high risk of rupture. Small AAAs under 4cm should be monitored annually, while larger AAAs may require surgical or endovascular treatment.
The abdominal aorta is the section of the aorta located in the abdomen. Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) occur when this section of the aorta abnormally enlarges due to weakening of the aortic wall. AAAs are usually asymptomatic until rupture, which can cause life-threatening internal bleeding. Ultrasound screening for men over 65 can detect AAAs and help prevent ruptures. Treatment options for AAAs include open surgical repair and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) via catheter deployment of a stent graft. While EVAR has lower risks, open repair may provide longer-term durability in some cases.
Splenic trauma - Causes, Complications, ManagementVikas V
The document discusses splenic trauma, including anatomy, mechanisms of injury, signs and symptoms, diagnostic modalities, grading systems, and treatment approaches. It notes that non-operative management is the preferred treatment for hemodynamically stable patients, regardless of injury grade. Operative management may be required for hemodynamic instability, failure of non-operative management, or high-grade injuries involving major vessels. Splenectomy is performed as a last resort, and vaccination and antibiotic prophylaxis are important after splenectomy to prevent infection.

The document provides information on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). It describes AAA as a localized dilation of the arterial wall in the descending portion of the aorta. AAA is most common in men over age 50 and usually results from atherosclerosis weakening the aortic wall. Symptoms may include back or abdominal pain. Diagnosis involves imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scan. Treatment for larger AAAs is surgical repair through graft placement. Postoperative care focuses on monitoring for complications like bleeding or infection. Lifestyle changes like smoking cessation are also important to prevent expansion of small AAAs.
1. Aortoenteric fistula (AEF) is a communication between the aorta and gastrointestinal tract that can be primary, between the native aorta and GI tract, or secondary, between a reconstructed aorta and GI tract.
2. Infection is the main cause of both primary and secondary AEF, leading to local compression, ischemia and erosion of the aortic wall.
3. Clinical presentation of AEF includes gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain, and a pulsatile abdominal mass. Diagnosis is made using CT scan, endoscopy or angiography.
4. Treatment requires urgent surgery to control hemorrhage and resection of infected material. Reconstruction options depend on the extent of infection

Acs0616 Repair Of Femoral And Popliteal Artery Aneurysmsmedbookonline
Femoral and popliteal artery aneurysms are the most common type of peripheral aneurysms. While rarely rupturing, they can cause limb-threatening complications like embolization and thrombosis if left untreated. The optimal treatment is elective repair and reconstruction, rather than emergency repair after complications occur. Factors like symptoms, aneurysm size, and extent of disease help determine the appropriate treatment approach. Preoperative evaluation involves imaging to characterize the aneurysm and assess inflow and outflow vessels. The goals of surgical repair are to eliminate embolic risk, prevent rupture, relieve mass effect if present, restore distal limb perfusion, and achieve durable reconstruction.
This document discusses splenic trauma, including its anatomy, presentation, management, and complications. The spleen lies in the left upper abdominal quadrant and is supplied by the splenic artery. Patients may present with left upper abdominal or shoulder pain following blunt trauma. Management depends on hemodynamic stability and injury grade, and may involve non-operative treatment or surgery such as splenorrhaphy or splenectomy. Complications include recurrent bleeding, infection, and thrombocytosis.
Spectrum Of Ct Findings In Rupture And Impendinging Rupture Of AAAXiu Srithammasit
This document discusses CT imaging findings of ruptured and impending rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms. CT is the preferred imaging method for evaluating acute aortic syndrome due to its speed and availability. Findings indicative of rupture include retroperitoneal hematoma adjacent to the AAA and active extravasation of contrast. Findings predictive of impending rupture are large aneurysm size, lack of circumferential thrombus, discontinuity of wall calcifications, and the hyperattenuating crescent sign. Infected, inflammatory, and fistula-related aneurysms are also described.
The document discusses thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs), including:
1. TAAs can be true aneurysms involving all vessel layers, or pseudoaneurysms where the intimal and medial layers are disrupted. Common types are fusiform and saccular.
2. Etiologies include atherosclerosis, cystic medial necrosis from conditions like Marfan syndrome, infections, vasculitides, trauma, and congenital factors.
3. Imaging plays a key role in evaluating TAAs to characterize morphology, size, relationships to other structures, and signs of rupture risk. Management depends on aneurysm location and size.
This document summarizes the use of ultrasound in evaluating acute scrotal pain. It describes the normal anatomy and vascular supply of the scrotum and then discusses various pathologies that can cause acute scrotal pain like epididymo-orchitis, testicular torsion, varicocele, trauma and tumors.

Ultrasound is useful for diagnosing the specific condition causing pain by identifying features like enlarged epididymis, lack of blood flow in a twisted testis, or intratesticular fluid in an abscess. Color Doppler ultrasound in particular helps evaluate blood flow and make an accurate diagnosis to guide appropriate treatment.
This document provides an overview of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). It discusses the causes of epigastric lumps, epidemiology, risk factors, etiology, natural history, clinical features, investigations, treatment, and complications of AAA. AAA is caused by degeneration of the arterial wall from atherosclerosis and loss of elastic tissue. Risk factors include smoking, age, family history, and connective tissue disorders. Larger aneurysm size increases the risk of rupture. Treatment options are open surgical repair or endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Complications can be early such as bleeding, or late such as endoleaks. Ruptured AAA presents urgently with abdominal pain and hypotension.
The document summarizes information about the spleen, including its anatomy, development, location in the body, blood supply, histology, and functions. It then discusses splenic trauma and injuries, describing grading scales for injuries and treatment approaches. For minor injuries, nonoperative management is often adequate but more severe injuries may require splenectomy or partial resection to control bleeding.
This document discusses a case of intussusception in an adult patient presenting with vomiting and abdominal pain. An abdominal CT scan found the characteristic "target" appearance of intussusception on axial images and a "sausage-shaped bowel mass" on coronal images, allowing the radiologist to make a diagnosis of intussusception. CT is identified as the most accurate imaging modality for identifying intussusception in adults.
A retired colonel presented to the emergency room with chronic chest pain. Further evaluation revealed he had a massive haemothorax secondary to a ruptured aortic aneurysm. Autopsy showed aortic aneurysms are caused by alterations to the delicate balance in the aortic wall that leads to dilatation. Thoracic aortic aneurysms are generally repaired electively when they reach a diameter of 6 cm or greater to prevent fatal rupture. Treatment options include open surgical repair or endovascular stent graft placement depending on the location and extent of the aneurysm.
The document describes the anatomy of the carotid arteries and their branches, evaluation and imaging of carotid artery disease, and treatment strategies including lifestyle modifications to reduce risk factors, carotid endarterectomy to remove plaques from significantly stenotic arteries, and outcomes data from clinical trials on endarterectomy for symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis. Imaging modalities like carotid duplex ultrasound, CTA, and MRA are described for evaluating the degree of carotid stenosis. The benefits of carotid endarterectomy are greater for symptomatic high-grade stenosis while more moderate for asymptomatic disease.
Ain-shams University,Urology department, ,Angiomyolipoma, by Mahmoud RedaMahmoud Reda badr
Angiomyolipoma is the most common benign renal tumor, accounting for less than 0.5% of renal tumors. It consists of thick-walled blood vessels, smooth muscle, and fat tissue. Around 20-30% of cases are associated with tuberous sclerosis. While often asymptomatic, angiomyolipoma can cause pain, bleeding, or compression symptoms. Treatment depends on size and symptoms, ranging from observation for small asymptomatic tumors to embolization or surgery for larger tumors or complications.

Ascending aortic aneurysm and its clinical significance: A case reportApollo Hospitals
Aorta, the major conductance vessel of the body, can be affected by a variety of pathologic processes leading to aneurysm, dissection, or ischemic syndromes. There has been a drastic increase in the incidence of aortic aneurysm making it the 18th most common cause for death.
When ignored, the patients’ condition might worsen leading to death due to rupture and hemorrhage. Here we report a case of ascending aortic aneurysm affecting the aortic root and proximal part of ascending aorta. Conscious awareness of this pathological process augments a great deal to radiologists and sonographers during various imaging techniques and rescues the patient from aneurysm-related deaths.
Acs0611 Repair Of Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysmsmedbookonline
This document provides information on repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. It defines an arterial aneurysm and describes the most common cause as atherosclerotic degeneration of the arterial wall. For infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms, preoperative evaluation assesses risk factors and confirms diagnosis and aneurysm size using imaging such as duplex ultrasonography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. Open surgical repair involves an abdominal incision, aortic clamping and graft placement to exclude the aneurysm from circulation. Patient selection considers aneurysm size and symptoms as well as surgical risk factors.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
