Others are coming forward. The competition is strong and the place for each drug remains to be determined. This review discusses these new anticoagulants in terms of efficacy and tolerance based on data in the literature. These recent reports mainly concern prophylaxis for orthopedic surgery but also consider treatment of deep venous thrombosis. Th...

Kunlin, in 1950, the saphenous vein has remained the material of choice for arterial bypass in a wide variety of localizations. Harvesting must be adapted to vein quality and the length necessary for the bypass. A thorough knowledge of the histological structure of the graft and the impact of the harvesting process on endothelial cells is needed to understand early and late complications related to saphenous harvesting. Several experimental studies and clinical series, particularly for aortocoronary bypass, have shown the role of atraumatic harvesting, removing the perivenous fat, and/or papaverine infusion in the perivascular tissues. A venous graft can be used in six localizatio...

In the first patient, the ischemia involved all fingers except the thumbs during the second cycle of treatment. The ischemia developed during the first cycle in the second patient and involved the right major and ring fingers. In the literature, gemcitabine vascular toxicity is probably potentialized by platinium salts. Several nosological entities occur simultaneously. The most widely described involve isolated digital ischemia for doses to the order of 3000mg, and a hemolytic and uremic thrombotic microangiopathy for gemcitabine do...

Its safety and simplicity make it an essential tool in the management of systemic hypertension especially in populations with no systematic screening of aortic coarctation in childhood. It was in the present case very useful for the final diagnosis and treatment. In addition, it is an efficient tool to screen patients with asymptomatic peripheral artery disease and it can help for stratification of cardiovascular risk.

Its causes are diverse. In women, it first suggests a connective tissue disease whereas in men, a diffuse arteriopathy. The etiological diagnosis strategy should consider drug intake, anamnesis and Raynaud's phenomenon history. However, in all cases the etiology investigations should not delay the treatment in order to preserve functional prognosis.

Coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) share many common risk factors such as age, smoking, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. Although the dietary pattern is considered as a risk factor for CHD, the impact of dietary pattern on stroke and PAD is debated. However, new studies showed that dietary pattern could also be considered as a risk factor in stroke and PAD. Dietary pattern should be evaluated in vascular patients and new tools of dietary assessment must be developed for a better prevention of vascular disease.

The procedure was successful as demonstrated by the 2 years follow-up. Revascularization surgery should be reserved of specific cases. The risk of tracheal-mediated infections developing in contact with the vascular sutures warrants systematic use of an interposition graft isolating the trachea from the innominate artery.

The diagnosis was clinically suspected and confirmed by vascular catheterism. The first operative stage consisted of treating the coarctation. The second stage was performed two months later to remove the aneurysm and replace the ascending aorta and the aortic valve with a prosthesis. The coronary arteries were then reimplanted.

Various longitudinal studies showed that midlife blood pressure level is one of the factors conditioning the onset of dementia syndrome in late life. The high risk of dementia is linked to leukoaraiosis, vascular rigidity, microcirculation disorders, oxidative stress, blood pressure fluctuations including orthostatic hypotension and strokes, all of those being associated with hypertension. Numerous clinical trials showed the positive effect of effective treatment of hypertension on the prevention of cognitive disorders and dementias. Thus, screening a...

History taking revealed that these lesions were congenital and had become accentuated during a recent pregnancy. The unilateral localization was highly suggestive, following Blaschko's lines. We retained the diagnosis of congenital unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syndrome exaggerated by pregnancy and the consequent hyperestrogenism. While it may be rather easy to rule out medical emergencies such as purpura, identifying the etiology of telangiectasia may be quite difficult, implying a careful, precise and complete history taking. Unilateral nevoid telangiectasia is a rare entity to be recognized. The underlying pathogenic mechanism remains to be elucidated. PMID: 19520531 [PubMed...

Computed tomography enabled the diagnosis, revealing spontaneous isolated dissection of the celiac artery, associated with a small aneurysmal dilatation of the artery. Based on a review of the literature and this clinical experience, we recall the contribution of computed tomography and 3D reconstructions to the diagnosis, the therapeutic strategy and the follow-up of spontaneous dissection of visceral arteries.

The value of the modified Wells' score is not superior and our preference, for practical reasons, goes to the original score. The widespread use of duplex ultrasound, the large proportion of patients in which D-dimers would not have been contributory and the excellent results of Wells score for patients with a low probability of DVT are encouraging arguments in favor of the development of an alternative strategy for these patients.

One of the elements of particular importance for the cardiologist is the possible participation of this resistance in the process of coronary stent thrombosis, a problem which appeared to be solved early in the 1990s with the introduction of thienopyridines. This complication has however become preoccupying again, particularly when occurring late, notably since the widespread use of biologically active coronary endoprostheses.

Aspirin irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) 1 involved in the platelet production of thromboxane (TX) A(2), an inducer of vasoconstriction and a platelet activating agent. Recurrent vascular events despite aspirin intake, combined with laboratory evidence of poor antiplatelet effect, suggested what has been called "aspirin resistance". For clarity's sake a real aspirin resistance would be the absence of COX1 inhibition due to intrinsic platelet factors (which has never been reported). What has been described is (expected) variability. COX1 inhibition can be insufficient to modify TX-dependent platelet behaviour. Other agonists, the ...

In 2008, all scleroderma patients are screened for PAH by a yearly cardiac Doppler ultrasonography. The pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis-related PAH is poorly known but it seems that besides common arteriolar remodeling (media hypertrophy, intimal thickening, endothelial proliferation), venular lesions suggesting obstructive venous disease and inflammatory lesions may be also be involved. Prostacyclin and analogues, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (sildenafil) and endothelin-1 receptor antagonists are proposed as specific treatments for systemic sclerosis-related PAH. Unlike bosentan, which is non-selective, inhibiting bot...

Moreover, when there is not any known predisposing factor, the diagnosis may become even more difficult with significant morbidity and mortality. CT abdominal scan done early in case of nonspecific abdominal pain, since the patients had a previous history of venous thrombosis, may not require a surgical treatment of MVT.

Many show that there is no clear distinction between Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome and Sturge-Weber syndrome. There is a clinical and biological overlap. The complexity of the disease phenotypes shows that a classification based on an eponymous category does not enable resolution of the nosological problems. Some authors suggest that these vascular malformations are best described in anatomical/histological or functional terms. We report a new observation that illustrates these difficulties.

Doppler of the supra-aortic arches revealed the absence of cervical segments of both vertebral arteries. Transcranial doppler revealed the presence of intracranial segments of these arteries that continued in a normal basilar trunk. MR-angiography performed on a 3T machine confirmed the bilateral absence of cervical segments and the presence of normal intracranial segments arising from the occipital arteries, branches of the external carotid arteries. Embryologic analysis explains this variant by an involution of cervical segments and persistence of anastomoses between the external carotid system and the vertebrobasilar system that normally regresses during fetal life.

The classic management of median arcuate ligament syndrome involves the surgical division of the median arcuate ligament fibers in order to decompress the celiac trunk. This has traditionally required an upper midline incision. A few authors have described a successful laparoscopic release of celiac artery compression syndrome. Laparoscopy provides a less invasive, but equally effective method for decompressing the celiac trunk.

This variant consists of a left innominate artery, arising from the ascending aorta before the right subclavian and common carotid arteries that arise separately from the aortic arch. It is important to notice the absence of associated cardiovascular malformations. We formulate a possible explanation of the described variant through an embryologic study of the vasculogenesis.

The surgical treatment consisted of an aortohepatic bypass using polytetrafluoroethylene prosthesis, after exclusion of all the aneurysms. The angiography and postoperative angioscan demonstrated the perfect patency of the prosthesis, totally excluding the aneurysms. Given the variety of presentations and the absence of precise predictive factors, there is no therapeutic consensus so far. Surgery is the first therapeutic choice. Endovascular treatment by angioembolization must be reserved for particular conditions. The purpose of this article is to propose the best therapeutic approach on the basis of evidence in the literature. PMID: 17658...

The complication rate and proper management remain debated. Recent studies suggest that the risk of proximal extension of calf vein thrombosis is 1 to 5% and that the risk of postthrombotic syndrome is 3%. In France, calf vein thrombosis is usually treated with compression stockings associated with a six week to three month regimen of anticoagulation therapy in patients presenting a transient triggering factor or longer otherwise.

The vertebral and inferior thyroid arteries arose from a common trunk, issuing directly from the aortic arch. Ipsilateral cervical arteries arose from the subclavian artery that gave no thyroid branch. This aspect was also well documented by Doppler ultrasound. We give an embryological analysis, which would explain these variants by lack of involution of specific arterial segments. More recently, multidetector CT has been found to be helpful in facilitating detection and study of vascular variants.

The test was positive in all patients aged over 70 years and in 59% of those aged under 70 years. There was a correlation between DD level and thrombus volume, yielding a threshold volume (5914 m(3)) above which all DD tests were positive. Nevertheless, this threshold volume was too great to include all ST extending to the terminal portion of the saphenous. Measurement of DD level is thus not contributive to the diagnosis of ST.

CURRENT KNOWLEDGE: Thrombotic microangiopathies are microvascular occlusive disorders characterized by systemic or intrarenal aggregation of platelets, thrombocytopenia, and mechanical injury to erythrocytes. In thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, systemic microvascular aggregation of platelets causes ischemia in the brain and other organs. In the hemolytic-uremic syndrome, platelet-fibrin thrombi occlude predominantly the renal circulation. Thrombotic microangiopathy is a rare disorder whose varied clinical manifestations result from the formation of platelet-rich thrombi within the microvasculature and consequent tissue ischemia. The clinical...

Downstream from the carotid sinus, the patency of the internal carotid artery was ensured by a collateral branch fed by the ipsilateral external carotid artery. This exceptional anatomic variation can be explained by a persistent embryonic artery. The recognition of this atypical feature is clinically relevant because surgery may be possible in some cases, while it is not technically feasible in patients with total obstruction.

It has a significant effect on the patient's quality-of-life. For the clinician and the researcher however it is difficult to apprehend how pain is related to the venous disease, both because of the multiple factors involved and because of the lack of any strong relationship between pain symptoms and the severity of the venous disease. Currently, several hypotheses concerning the pathogenesis of pain in venous disease have focused on the causal impact of local inflammation. Over the last five years, a large body of evidence has been accumulation showing an inflammatory reaction around varicose veins, but the precise mechanism of how inflammatory mediators interact with venous nociceptors, which might exp...

Several surveys using various classification systems have estimated the prevalence of recurrent varices after groin and popliteal surgery. Patients may seek medical care for various reasons: unsightly recurrent varicose veins, vein-related symptoms, appearance of cutaneous or subcutaneous changes, concerns about the health risk related to their veins or limitation of activity. Recurrent varices may also be found at routine follow-up examinations.

The characteristic feature is an association between factors contributing to increased cardiovascular risk. Several definitions have been proposed from 1998 to 2005. All proposed definitions take into consideration insulin resistance and its corollary hyperglycemia, overweight, hypertriglyceridemia, and LDL-cholesterol lowering. The most widely used definitions are proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American "Cholesterol" program (NCEP-ATpIII). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome varies by geographic region as a function of the chosen definition, the study methodology, the selection criteria, the age and gender of the study population, and the period of the study. Prevalence is higher in the United S...

Among the other anti-platelet treatments analyzed, clopidogrel was the only product for which large scale randomized evidence versus aspirin was available. Various national health institutions, in the United States as well as in Europe, show a major concern regarding the use of anti-platelet treatments, in peripheral arterial occlusive disease as well as in other manifestations of cardiovascular disease. Their guidelines take of course the patient's health into account but the economical aspect of this prevention is increasingly hard to circumvent. Based on the resul...

Nevertheless the incidence of venous thromboembolic disease remains 100 times less frequent in hospitalized children than hospitalized adults, as recent data suggest an incidence of 5,3/10.000 pediatric patients compared to an incidence of 2,5-5/100 in adult patients. Diseases usually associated with thromboembolic events in children are neoplasia, autoimmune or cardiac malformative disease. Contrarily to what is observed in the adult, the majority of deep vein thrombosis events occur at the upper limbs veins, usually at the place where devices for venous access like port-a-cath or central veno...

A 54-year-old man was hospitalized for transient ischemic attack. Duplex ultrasound of cervical arteries showed indirect signs of a dissection of the carotid. Magnetic resonance angiography showed a dissection of the post bulbar segment of the right carotid artery and a right ischemic stroke. Angiography confirmed the diagnosis. The anti-coagulant treatment initialized as soon as the diagnosis of dissection was suspected, was stopped because of a massive cerebral infarct. The course was unfavorable with a persistent hemiplegia.

This attitude is widely advocated in the literature. Moreover, we noted null mortality in our small series, with only one percutaneous "re-do" case; resolutive at last control. With the present improvement in stent technology, endovascular treatment should be preferred. Patients should be treated surgically only if a percutaneous procedure would be risky or technically unfeasible due to the size of the aneurysm or its anatomic features.

Morphologic exams found a very large polycyclic mass in the inferior vena cava involving the middle segment of the vena cava extending from the renal veins to the hepatic veins. An "en bloc" resection of the tumor was achieved. Caval outflow was restored using a ring-reinforced PTFE tube graft, the left renal vein was ligated and not re-implanted, the right renal vein was implanted in a lumbar sub-renal vein using a short prosthesis. Pathological examination documented a grade II leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava and the patient was given adjuvant chemotherapy (anthracycline).
