Generally, symptoms resolve with etiologic treatment using medical compression, varicosis treatment, or dermocorticoids. However, some skin lesions progress, suggesting another diagnosis, including a specific dermatosis. The diagnosis is based on clinical, biological, radiological and histological criteria. Referral to a dermatologist may be necessary to determine the appropriate etiological treatment.

Numerous studies and meta-analysis have confirmed their benefits. They reduce mortality in post infarction and acute coronary syndrome populations and also in people with stable coronary heart disease. Moreover, heart failure with systolic left ventricular dysfunction is a major indication for this therapeutic class, providing a 30% decrease in mortality. In patients with permanent atrial fibrillation, beta-blockers are recommended for rate control. In hypertension patients, first-line drug treatment with beta-blockers is currently discussed.

Ultrasound and duplex Doppler imaging is a simple and helpful tool to confirm the clinical diagnosis and/or to suggest further required imaging modalities. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the usefulness of duplex Doppler and ultrasound for exploring vessel and soft tissue components of vascular anomalies.

This is a rare infectious disease. To our knowledge, only 31 cases have been reported in the literature. The clinical presentation is dominated by abdominal pain with fever. Although only the bacteriological samples can definitely identify the germ, the presence of gas bubbles around an aneurysm on abdominal computed tomography scan suggests C. septicum aortic infection. This infectious disease is frequently associated with neoplasia, mainly colonic. Treatment is primarily surgical resection with bypass or graft, associated with prolonged antibiotic therapy. The prognosis is poor due to vascular complications and pathogenesis of C. septicum. Patients cumulate the death risk from mycotic aneurysm ...

The patient was given prednisone 25mg per day and long-term hydroxychloroquine. FDG PET/CT showed FDG-avidity nodular masses. After bolus corticosteroid therapy, outcome was favorable with disappearance of metabolic hyperactivity on the FDG PET/CT. The bolus prednisone treatment could then be discontinued. In the 61 cases of Kikuchi disease and lupus associations previously published, Kikuchi disease was diagnosed after lupus in only 13 % of the observations. In these cases, use of FDG PET/ CT was not reported. For us, FDG PET/CT was useful for diagnosis, for choosing the biopsy site and for follow-up. PMID: 21757306 [PubMed - as su...

The disease typically occurs in patients aged 50 years or more who may otherwise have atherothrombotic lesions. It is sometimes difficult to determine whether an arterial stenosis arises from an inflammatory or an atherothrombotic mechanism in a patient with giant cell arteritis. Therefore we describe, through a case report, the clinical features and complementary investigation data helpful for distinguishing between these two entities.

Most amputations are necessitated by complications of acute limb ischemia. For this subpopulation, Gritti-Stokes amputation should be the standard amputation level. The data collected in this study provide important information that can be useful before amputation for this population, their families and primary care physicians. Ambulation is an important postoperative goal and a multidisciplinary approach in specialized centers is required to achieve good wound healing rates.

Secondary to high-energy trauma, it is observed mainly in association with complex lesions. Evaluation of injury to the aorta must be a priority due to the risk of life-threatening massive hemorrhage. The clinical presentation can be quite obvious but also variable and often misleading. If in doubt, a systematic injected whole body scan is essential to diagnose aortic lesions. Hemorrhage or ischemia dictates emergency laparotomy. Opening the retroperitoneum increases the risk of infection if there is an associated gastrointestinal tract injury and may contraindicate use of arterial prostheses.

The goal of this paper is to analyze the systemic factors, which contribute to the clinical results, the technical aspects, which improve the patency of the bypass, and the role of postoperative follow-up. Postoperative mortality in those patients ranges from 3 to 10%, depending on several factors: age, global cardiovascular diffusion, diabetes mellitus, end-stage renal disease.

However, the first experiments with stainless stents were relatively disappointing. The first improvement consisted in the introduction of nitinol self-expanding stents. This technology allowed an initial improvement of clinical performances, but the first generation of nitinol stents demonstrated a relatively high rate of fractures. Better knowledge of the femoral artery biomechanics and advances in technology allowed to propose a second generation of nitinol stents with improved flexibility, which decreased the rates of fracture.

Computed tomographic angiography allowed to study the lesion, the abdominal aorta and its main branches. The patient was treated via an endovascular approach using a covered stent. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was asymptomatic with a patent reconstruction after 18months. Improvement in endovascular technology has totally modified the treatment of focal atherosclerotic abdominal aortic stenosis. However, many technical points remain to be determined including the necessity of systematic stenting, the type of stent to use, and the steps of the procedure.

The first case was a 25-year-old female with Von Recklinghausen disease who developed a swollen tender mass around her left arm. The arterial CT scan revealed a false aneurysm of the brachial artery. The surgical procedure involved repair of the false aneurysm, and ligation of the brachial artery. Intra- and postoperative bleeding was severe, leading to hemodynamic instability and impaired hemostasis. The patient died on day 2, postoperatively. The second case involved a 17-year-old male with Von Recklinghausen disease who presented stage II arteritis of the right lower limb. Arteriography revealed a long stenosis of the right superficial femoral artery extending to the popliteal artery and an im...

Close collaboration with the patient's primary care physician is essential. In addition to close surveillance of the outcome after vascular surgery, follow-up includes an assessment and appropriate treatment of cardiovascular risk factors. Duplex ultrasound is a safe and noninvasive surveillance method, which should be performed by an experimented physician. We summarize the specific features of duplex ultrasound examinations after arterial surgery of the carotid arteries, the abdominal aorta and the lower limbs, and propose a surveillance schedule.

Both vascular events arose on healthy arteries. Etiological tests were negative leading to the conclusion that the events resulted from a toxic cause related to cannabis and cocaine consumption. Different mechanisms, potentially including thrombosis, might explain the association of cannabis and cocaine with vascular events. We suggest that a systematic search for cannabis and cocaine consumption among young victims of vascular disease might be useful.

Vascular ultrasonography showed the rupture of a false aneurysm of the popliteal artery. An arteriography confirmed the diagnosis by showing contrast leakage at the level of the below-knee popliteal artery projecting over an osteochondroma. Surgery was undertaken to close the aneurysm an insert a venous graft. The procedure was completed by excision of the bone tumor. Vascular complications of osteochondroma are rare but should be considered in young patients with a false aneurysm of the popliteal artery. Surgery is required for the treatment of false aneurysms on exostosis.

Most cases of ED classified as arterial are linked to endothelial dysfunction in relation to the key factors of cardiovascular risk. ED is an indicator of vascular health in general. It is also a predictor of cardiovascular events, including coronary heart disease. It has also been associated with lower peripheral arterial disease and stroke. At the present time, penile Doppler ultrasound examination is relatively little used in the management of ED, knowledge of the etiologic factors being most often not necessary for therapeutic management, but also because of the absence of standardization.

Usually a benign condition, careful etiological search is needed to avoid missing exceptional causes. Mondor's disease is generally treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or low-molecular-weight heparin and resolves without sequelae. Mondor's disease and superficial venous thrombosis of the penis may or may not be a unique clinical entity. A favorable outcome with no precise etiology would favor penile Mondor's disease.

Traumatic pseudoaneurysms of the STA are rare injuries, generally occurring after a recent (weeks to months) episode of blunt head injury, and primarily in a young to middle-aged (60 %) male (80 %) population. Clinical diagnosis is straightforward when the patient presents with a pulsating painful mass in the STA area and a history of trauma. Doppler ultrasound, CT scan and MRI are useful to confirm diagnosis and exclude the other possible diagnoses (i.e. hematoma, abscess, lipoma, cyst, meningocele, etc.). Surgery remains the treatment of choice for these lesions, however, other treatments have been proposed: endovascular coil embolization, percutaneous thrombin embo...

Gastrointestinal involvement is noted in up to 90% of cases, the segment most frequently involved being the esophagus although the entire digestive tract may be affected. Gastroesophageal reflux is the most common symptom but other unusual complications may also occur. Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) or watermelon stomach is one such rare lesion; it relates to a disturbed capillary bed, which appears dilated, sometimes with thrombi under the mucosa. This lesion is one expression of generalized SSc microvasculopathy. Its prevalence is not precisely known but appears to b...

The physical exam was highly suggestive of a vascular mass. The arterial CT scan of the right lower limb revealed a pseudo-aneurysm of a branch of the deep right femoral artery. The diagnosis of vascular type of Ehlers Danlos syndrome was established on clinical criteria. The successful management was surgical by the excision of the pseudoaneurysm and the ligation of the feeding branch that supplied the pseudoaneurysm. The postsurgical follow-up was uneventful and the clinical course was smooth with no further complications. PMID: 20399052 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Journal des Maladies Vas...

Clinical diagnosis is readily made but precise quantification of edema is difficult. Various procedures have been proposed to quantify edema volume or analyze its composition. Water volumetry remains the gold standard but volumetry calculated with formulas from circumferential measurements for a cylinder or frustum methods are reproducible with high interrater and intrarater reliability. Automated measurement systems are expensive and reserved for research. Ideally, volume measurements for a given patient during the follow-up should be made by the same practitioner using the same method because the different methods are not interchangeable.

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.

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.

Clinicians should be aware of this adverse effect since other heparins such as fondaparinux or low-weight molecular heparins are contraindicated in patients with renal failure, leading to a large prescription of calcium-containing heparins in this population.

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. The postoperative results were quite favourable.

It would nevertheless be pertinent to determine whether or not official management recommendations are applied correctly in real life conditions. We report a first evaluation of a therapeutic education program designed for patients taking oral anticoagulants. The education program within the GRANTED network has enabled a reduction in the iatrogenic morbidity related to oral anticoagulation despite the selection bias of the probably high-risk population enrolled in the GRANTED network.

Vascular inflammatory lesions predominantly affect veins, potentially leading to superficial or deep thrombophlebitis. Arterial involvement is rare, mainly aneurysms. We display two case reports of patients where Behçet's disease is revealed by celiac trunk aneurysm. The symptoms are nonspecific. Ultrasound Doppler and angioscan are a key to the diagnosis. The two patients received medical and surgical treatment. By these two case reports, we insist that the diagnosis of Behçet's disease sho...

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...

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.

The patient, who participated in amateur sports, had an uneventful medical history. Duplex ultrasonography revealed thrombosis of the right radial and ulnar arteries. On heparin, the clinical course was favorable and investigations to search for an embolic source revealed an aneurism of the posterior circumflex artery (arteriography). The etiological work-up was negative as was the search for other aneurismal locations. Surgical excision was carried out. Pathology examination of the surgical specimen revealed a thrombosed aneurism that had developed on an atherosclerotic plaque. Aneurisms of the posterior circumflex arter...

Physical examination and complementary tests enabled the diagnosis of paradoxical embolism with bilateral pulmonary embolism leading to elevated pressure in the pulmonary arteries, which opened the oval foramen. The patient also presented ischemia involving the digestive trunks, the upper limb and the kidneys. Rapid diagnosis is a major challenge in this condition controlling the prognosis of this uncommon disease.

Subsequently, bilateral leg compartment syndrome and myonecrosis developed. The primary cause of myonecrosis was due to misuse of simvastatin mistaken by the patient for a weight-reducing drug. Urgent fasciotomies were performed and the patient underwent urgent renal replacement therapy with continuous hemodialysis for acute renal failure due to myoglobinuria. After this complex treatment, the patient was discharged. She almost fully recovered with only a residual paresis of the left fibular nerve. According to literature, this is a unique case of bilateral compartment syndrome and myonecrosis with acute renal failure due to statin overdose leading to acute renal failure and bilateral fascio...

Ultrasonography ruled out the diagnosis of iliac deep venous thrombosis or extrinsic compression: the B mode scan revealed a mass located below the aortic bifurcation and along the iliac vessels, without any compressive effect. The lesion was heterogeneous associating both tissular and cystic aspects. The lower limb lymphoscintigraphy showed an interruption of the colloid circulation at the right iliac level. Computed tomography did not give any additional information. Magnetic resonance imaging before then after gadolinium showed typical aspects of cystic lymphangioma and confirmed the ultrasonography hypothesis. Considering that this tumor is benign, that surgery would be difficult ...

Despite these risk factors, many thrombophilias (physiological inhibitors defects, Factor V Leiden and 20210A prothrombin gene variant, antiphospholipid antibodies, mild hyperhomocysteinemia 15-30mumol/l) can be evoked in some clinical forms of peripheral arterial occlusive disease. This paper provides a synthesis of the published data about this topic. Screening for these thrombophilias is justified in patients with venous thromboembolic disease, or signs of antiphospholipid syndrome and possibly in different situations such as premature atheroma of lowe...
