[Takayasu disease in the genesis of cerebrovascular insufficiency. Description and considerations of a clinical case].

The authors in explaining their limited clinical experience relative to one single case, describe the peculiarity of Takayasu's disease and its rare incidence in western populations. The case under observation because of its peculiar rarity had been underestimated and treated in a completely inappropriate manner. Important instrument in its diagnosis is the High Resolution echography which in determining the diagnosis favors and speeds up the diagnostic therapeutic iter.

[Myointimal hyperplasia caused by vascular suture. A case report and general considerations].

Smooth muscle cell proliferation is a step of the repair process after vascular injury. A similar process occurs after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and can lead to intimal hyperplasia and vascular restenosis. We have recently observed this process in an anastomotic restenosis after saphenous vein by-pass in the popliteal artery. We suppose that myointimal hyperplasia can also be an aspecific response to surgical intimal injury.

[Vascular microsutures with resorbable and nonresorbable sutures. A comparative study].

Modern technology has recently provided us with new resorbable suture material for use also in vascular surgery. Clinical use of these sutures has been impeded however by not little mistrust and by old dogmas without a rational experimental basis. We have therefore begun studies of two slowly resorbable materials, polyglactin 910 and polyglycolic acid, in comparison with two classic nonreabsorbable materials, nylon and polypropylene, used in experimental model of end-to-end anastomosis rats'infrarenal aorta, following up the healing process and its evolution after an interval. The results are discussed in relation to data collected from current literature.

[Aneurysm of the abdominal aorta and stenosis caused by compression of the celiac tripod in a young woman with tuberous sclerosis and previous mesoblastic nephroma].

Tuberous sclerosis, first described by Bourneville in 1880, is a syndrome characterized essentially by mental deterioration, seizures and cutaneous sebaceous adenoma; an association with malformative lesions of the kidney and cardiovascular apparatus has been documented. Recently a case of a young woman with tuberous sclerosis has come to our observation; she was also affected by abdominal aortal aneurysm and stenosis due to compression of the truncus coeliacus; previously she operative elsewhere for right nephrectomy for breakage of nephric right arterial aneurysm: the histological examination of the removed kidney manifested the presence of a mesoblastic nephroma and afterward tuberous sclerosis was diagnosed. The angiomyolipomatosis evidence confirmed the suspicion of a notable inclination to polydistrict malformations in tuberous sclerosis.

[Visceral aneurysmal arterial pathology].

In this paper the Authors report their experience on diagnostic and surgical procedures with respect to aneurysms of the visceral district. The clinical review during the last ten years of surgical activity in the Istituto di Clinica Chirurgica (Università di Ferrara) regards 13 patients with different visceral aneurysms. The study reports the different percentage of localization, the diagnostic approach, the surgical procedure performed and discussion of results obtained. Patients at risk for this disease are pointed out.

[Aplasia of the internal carotid. A clinical case report].

Among the anomalies of internal carotid artery, agenesis and aplasia recur with a low rate: only about sixty cases are reported in literature. We observed a case of aplasia of the left internal carotid in a 49 year old male suffering from hypertension and showing cerebro-vascular symptoms due to TSA pathology: it was studied with arterial angiography and duplex scanner. The angiographic examination raised a suspicion of left internal carotid thrombosis; on the contrary the duplex scanner revealed a correct diagnosis of carotid aplasia.

[Qualitative ultrasound analysis as a preliminary step in revascularization of the femoro-popliteal axis].

The Authors report on the use of non-invasive techniques in the preliminary evaluation of revascularization of the femoral-popliteal axis. The study of this pathology, for which surgery has become less and less frequent, being limited to the more serious cases, has greatly benefited by the use of H/R echography and of Doppler. These techniques, which remain complementary to angiography, have proved very important and reliable for their capacity to visualize the arterial lumen, an important element for the pre- and post surgical evaluation of vascular recanalization and of the relationship of continuity and continuity with the nearby structures.

A prospective study of local recurrence after resection and low stapled anastomosis in 183 patients with rectal cancer.

Local recurrence is the most serious complication of anterior resection for rectal cancer, usually occurring during the first two years after surgery. Over a five-year period, from 1981 to 1986, 183 patients underwent anterior resection for rectal carcinoma at the Surgery Ward of the University of Ferrara. Patients were followed for two years postoperatively. All operations were performed with staplers and classified according to Dukes, with 43 cases of Dukes' A; 83 cases of Dukes' B; and 57 cases of Dukes' C. In the first 24 months after surgery, the tumor recurred locally in 44 of the 183 patients (24 percent). Dukes' stage, grading distal resection margin, and histopathologic differentiation of the distal rectal ring left in the stapler after anastomosis were assessed to determine a prognostic indicator for the recurrence of the tumor. The stage:recurrence ratio was as follows: A, 1 (2 percent); B, 21 (25 percent); and C, 22 (39 percent). The grading:recurrence ratio was: G1, 13:51 (25 percent); G2, 24:110 (22 percent); and G3, 7:22 (32 percent). The ratio between distal rectal resection margin and recurrence was: 0 to 2 cm, 15:27 (56 percent); 2 to 4 cm, 16:74 (22 percent); and over 4 cm, 13:82 (15 percent). Histopathologic examination of the distal rectal ring was negative for all patients. These data confirm the direct relationship between class and local recurrence and indicate histologic grade and distal resection margin as significant prognostic parameters only when interpreted in the light of staging.

[Isthmic coarctation of the aorta. Description of an anomalous case].

An anomalous (because of the advanced age of its onset) case of isthmic coarctation of the aorta in preductal site observed at the persistence of hypertensive symptomatology associated with cephalgic and lipothymic attacks is reported. Instrumental examinations confirmed the clinical suspicion and resective-reconstructive surgical treatment led to complete resolution of both cause and effect.
