Infection of the pseudoaneurysm sac after one month was successfully treated with catheter drainage. An intraoperative angiogram revealed active extravasation through the neck of the pseudoaneurysm, which was successfully sealed with the placement of a stent graft (Medtronic Endurant(Р’В®))limb component. A computerized tomography scan with intravenous contrast revealed a ruptured gigantic pseudoaneurysm of the right common iliac artery, with a maximal diameter of 7 cm and retroperitoneal hematoma. A 65-year-old male was admitted to the surgical department in hypovolemic shock, due to active retroperitoneal bleeding.

more We report our experience with a case of emergent endovascular treatment of a large ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the common iliac artery. We report our experience with a case of emergent endovascular treatment of a large ruptured pseud. We report the case of a 79-year-old female dialysis patient who suffered from a vertebral artery (VA) injury complicated by a herald bleeding on the third postintervention day after an internal jugular vein dialysis catheter replacement. In particular, arterial injuries are among the most feared complications that require early clinical suspicion for prompt diagnosis and management. On the other hand, CV catheterization can lead to a wide range of life-threatening complications for the patient especially if left untreated or become late-diagnosed. more Central venous (CV) catheterization is not only an invaluable diagnostic modality but also an essential therapeutic tool for the treating physician, enabling rapid and reliable intravenous administration of drugs and fluids, providing venous access to patients undergoing long-term continuous or repeated intravenous treatment such as chemotherapy, or it can be used for hemodialysis in patients suffering from acute or chronic renal disease. Despite the fact that ESUS was independently related to lower admission stroke severity, there was no association of ESUS with long-term outcomes.Р”В¬entral venous (CV) catheterization is not only an invaluable diagnostic modality but also an ess. In conclusion we found that ESUS cases represented 8% of CS patients in this population-based study.

ESUS was not related to 1-year stroke recurrence, mortality and functional improvement on multivariable analyses. ESUS was independently (pРІР‚Р‡=РІР‚Р‡.033) associated with lower admission NIHSS-scores (unstandardized linear regression coefficient: -13.34 95%CI: -23.34, -3.35) on multiple linear regression models. Functional outcomes were more favorable in ESUS at 28, 90 and 365РІР‚Р‡days. Patients with ESUS were younger (pРІР‚Р‡<РІР‚Р‡.001) and had lower median admission NIHSS-scores (pРІР‚Р‡<РІР‚Р‡.001). We identified 21 and 242 cases with ESUS (8% of CS) and non-ESUS CS. Baseline characteristics, admission stroke severity (assessed using NIHSS-score), stroke recurrence and functional outcomes, were recorded during the 1-year follow-up period. Crude and adjusted incidence rates (IR) for ESUS and non-ESUS CS were calculated. Consecutive patients included with first-ever ischemic stroke of undetermined cause in the previously published population-based Evros Stroke Registry were further subdivided into ESUS and non-ESUS CS. There are scarce population-based data regarding the incidence, characteristics and outcomes of ESUS. more Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) represents a subgroup of cryptogenic ischemic stroke (CS) distinguished by high probability of an underlying embolic mechanism. Results: We prospectively documented 703 stroke cases (mean age: 75РІВвЂ2 years 52.8% males ischemic stroke (IS): 80.8%, intracerebra.Р”В®mbolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) represents a subgroup of cryptogenic ischemic stroke.

Stroke diagnosis and classification was performed using WHO criteria on the basis of neuroimaging and/or autopsy data. To compare our stroke incidence with that observed in other studies, we standardized our incidence rate data according to the European Standard Population (ESP) of 2013 and applied criteria of data quality, as proposed by the Monitoring Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease (MONICA) project. Methods: Adult patients with first ever stroke were registered during a 24-month period (2010-2012) and followed up for 12 months. We performed a prospective population-based study evaluating the incidence of first-ever stroke in the Evros perfecture, a region of a total 147,947 residents located in North Eastern Greece. more Introduction: Data are scarce on both stroke incidence rates and outcomes in Greece and in rural areas in particular.
