Hemodynamic changes in supra-aortic trunks after transcatheter aortic valve implantation at duplex ultrasound examination Open
Aims The hemodynamic consequences of aortic stenosis (AS) on supra-aortic trunks may play a potential role during the diagnosis of concomitant internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis by dampening blood flow velocity. To investigate the effe…

Percutaneous Retrograde Trans-Gluteal Embolization of Type 2 Endoleak Causing Iliac Aneurysm Enlargement after Endovascular Repair: Case Report and Literature Review Open
Late type II endoleaks (T2ELs) arising from the internal iliac artery (IIA) may present during follow-up after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) of aortoiliac aneurysm and may warrant embolization if enlargement of the aneurysmal sac is de…
Percutaneous Retrograde Trans-gluteal Embolization Of Type 2 Endoleak Causing Iliac Aneurysm Enlargement After Endovascular Re-pair: Case Report And Literature Review Open
Late type II endoleak (T2EL) arising from internal iliac artery (IIA) network may occur after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) of aortoiliac aneurysm and may require embolization if sac enlargement is demonstrated. When direct antegrade a…
Surgeon–Pathologist Team Approach Dramatically Affects Lymph Nodes Detection and Improves Patients’ Short-Term Outcome Open
The downstaging of gastric cancer has recently gained particular attention in the field of gastric cancer surgery. The phenomenon is mainly due to an inappropriate sampling of lymph nodes during standard lymphadenectomy. Hence, collection …
Simultaneous Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Endovascular Infrarenal Aortic Aneurysm Repair Open
Background/Aim: With the increasing use of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and the availability of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and cholelithiasis, respectively, the association betwee…
Results of Adrenalectomy for Isolated, Metachronous Metastasis of Breast Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study Open
Background and Aim: Metachronous, isolated adrenal metastases from breast cancer are extremely rare. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of adrenalectomy as a treatment of this uncommon condition. Methods: Twelve female patie…
Results of Standard Stapler Closure of Pancreatic Remnant After Distal Spleno-Pancreatectomy for Adenocarcinoma Open
Background/Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of stapled closure of the pancreatic remnant after cold-knife section of the pancreatic isthmus and distal pancreatectomy for adenocarcinoma. Methods: A retrospective ev…
Resection for Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis and Cervical Lymph Nodes' Involvement from Gastric Cancer Open
Resection of thrombosed IJV and satellite lymph nodes, due to a primary gastric cancer may contribute to diagnosis of the disease, limit pulmonary embolic complications and improve quality of life.
Simultaneous resection of an adenocarcinoma of the cardia and a synchronous adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid: Report of a case Open
Simultaneous resection of synchronous adenocarcinoma of the cardia and the sigmoid is feasible and avoids possible progression of the untreated neoplasm during the interval between two separate resections, provided that a curative resectio…
Splenic hamartoma associated with abdominal discomfort and pain: Case report Open
Hamartomas are benign splenic neoplasms asymptomatic in most of the cases. Symptoms, when present, may either be related to the growth of the mass with abdominal discomfort and pain or be related to a hypersplenism syndrome. Certain preope…
Open surgery for aneurysms of the splenic artery at the hilum of the spleen Open
Introduction: Aneurysms of the splenic artery (SAA) located at the hilum of the spleen are not well fit for endovascular or laparoscopic treatment. Open surgery may still be the best option of treatment. Presentation of cases: We report th…
True aneurysm of the proximal occipital artery Open
Introduction: True aneurysms of the proximal occipital artery are rare, may cause neurological symptoms due to compression of the hypoglossal nerve and their resection may be technically demanding. Presentation of case: The case of an aneu…
Schwannoma of the descending loop of the hypoglossal nerve Open
INTRODUCTION: Schwannomas of the descending loop of the hypoglossal nerve are very rare. They are slow-growing tumors that may masquerade a carotid body tumor. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 60-year-old female was referred for a latero-cervical m…
