Background: Great saphenous vein (GSV) graft is commonly used for peripheral arterial reconstructions. Pseudo-aneurysm of GSV graft is a rare entity. It can be associated with high morbidity and can be prevented by technical modifications. We hereby report pseudoaneurysm of great saphenous vein (GSV) graft. Case Report: Our patient underwent femoro-popliteal bypass surgery after excision of degenerative pseudo-aneurysm of the left superficial femoral artery one month ago. The vein graft tear following aneurysmal rupture was patched up with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) patch. Patient had his limb saved by a repaired vein graft. We are highlighting the clinical pictures of this rare entity and also describing the management options for it. Conclusion: With early diagnosis and intervention, potentially dangerous and rare clinical condition like GSV graft pseudoaneurysm can be tackled with good result.
Pulmonary vein thrombosis (PVT) is a known complication after lung transplantation but has rarely been reported after lower lobectomy or bilobectomy. We report a case of a left PVT extending into left atrium along with left hemiparesis following an uneventful left lower lobectomy in a case of adult congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation type 2 (CCAM). CCAM being rare in adults further its association with PVT following lower lobectomy makes this case an unusual interesting case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
