Spontaneous recanalization of occluded internal artery after minor stroke. The role of surgical treatment
No full textLate spontaneous recanalization of internal carotid artery is a very rare event. We describe three cases which came to our observation in which the occlusion was demonstrated both by angiography and Doppler ultrasound. Two of them had surgical treatment and the histological exam of the plaque showed multiple recanalization foci. Our experience confirmed the possibility of a successful surgical treatment that offers a good patency in the short and medium term

Full text linkInternal jugular vein hemangioma, also called pyogenic granuloma, is a rare tumor. Such a neoformation was accidentally discovered and excised in a middle-aged man. Histologic and immunohistochemical investigations were performed, and this case is compared with the poor amount of similar ones described in the literatur
Endovascular Management of Infected Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysms in High-Risk Patients: A Case Series
No full textWe report our experience with the urgent treatment of two high-risk patients with infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysms (IFAPs) with the placement of a self-expandable covered stent (SECS). In both cases, there was no perioperative mortality and the aneurysm exclusion was successful without early or late stent thrombosis/stent fracture nor acute or chronic limb ischemia or limb loss. There was no recurrence of local or systemic infection during the follow-up period. Endovascular therapy represents a feasible treatment option for IFAPs in those patients for whom the risk of open surgical repair would be prohibitive, especially under urgent circumstances
Neoplastic Embolization from Cardiac Papillary Fibroelastoma with Unusual Presentation: A Case Report
No full textPapillary fibroelastoma is the second most frequent primary tumor of the heart. We report the case of a cardiac papillary fibroelastoma, arising from the interatrial septum, symptomatic from distal embolization to lower limb arteries. Such a clinical presentation is extremely infrequent for cardiac papillary fibroelastomas. Moreover, the site of origin not from cardiac valves and the pathogenetic mechanism underlying the clinical manifestation both represent peculiar additional findings of our case
Bilateral staged carotid arteryendarterectomy: is cross clamping ischemia incidence time related?
No full textManagement of an Iatrogenic Pseudoaneurysm of the Superior Gluteal Artery by Percutaneous Ultrasound-Guided Thrombin Injection: A Case Report
No full textWe report the unusual case of a pseudoaneurysm of the superior gluteal artery (SGA) as a complication of a bone marrow biopsy. A 75-year-old man presented with pain and swelling of the left buttock 1 month after a bone marrow biopsy of the left iliac crest. The patient was treated by percutaneous ultrasound-guided thrombin injection (UGTI). The procedure was successful without any complication and the patient was discharged at home the same day. Follow-up at 3 months after the procedure confirmed the complete thrombosis of the pseudoaneurysm sac. At the best of our knowledge, UGTI of a pseudoaneurysm of the SGA has never been reported since now in the English literature
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
