Rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm after endovascular graft placement and aneurysm size reduction.

Reduction in aneurysm size during the months after an endovascular graft placement generally is considered one of the criteria of success. We report the case of a patient with an abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture occurring 9 months after a bifurcated endovascular graft placement despite a greater than 45% reduction in size noted on contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan performed at 7 months. Biomaterial modifications of the stent and of the Dacron explanted stent-graft are analyzed.

[Treatment of post-traumatic dislocation of the patella. Critical study of 29 cases (author's transl)].

The treatment of post-traumatic dislocation of the patella depends on careful examination. One should propose surgery in most cases, for not only one may leave a foreign body within the joint, but above all correction of the extensor apparatus is necessary in more than 50 p. cent of cases, to avoid a recurrence. The quality of the results depends on the preoperative analysis of the knee. Our study of 29 cases confirmed this.
