[Mesenteric vein and inferior vena cava thrombosis: disseminated intravascular coagulation and/or G 20210 A mutation of the prothrombin gene?].

The authors report the case of a 30-year-old man who died from pulmonary embolism and multiorgan failure caused by mesenteric and inferior vena cava thrombosis. The patient was found heterozygous for the prothrombin gene variant (G 20210 A). The family study showed the same asymptomatic anomaly in his brother. This recently described mutation is associated with an increased risk for venous thrombosis. The investigations and treatment of mesenteric venous thrombosis are discussed.

Non-penetrating subclavian artery trauma: management by selective transluminally placed stent device.

Non-penetrating injury to the subclavian artery has not often been reported. The limited experience of surgeons with this type of trauma and the difficult vascular control required for its management make it a surgical challenge. We report on two cases, one after blunt trauma and the other with a subclavian artery aneurysm following anterior dislocation of the shoulder. Percutaneous stent implantation in the subclavian artery was successfully performed with, in the second case, coil embolization of the aneurysm. Follow-up Doppler sonography and angiogram demonstrated patency and luminal integrity of the involved artery. This less invasive procedure may be a significant advance and a new approach in the conservative management of traumatic subclavian injury for selected cases.
