[Ruptured aneurysm of the inferior pancreatic-duodenal artery (author's transl)].

The authors stress the insidious onset of the lesion, which first presented as a hepatic or a gallbladder disease. Diagnosis was established later by an arteriography after the occurrence of a state of shock. Evacuation of the hematoma surrounding the aneurysm appeared satisfactory to re-establish the circulation; this was confirmed by an arteriogram. A review of the literature reveales 18 such cases, with a high mortality rate, up to 100% where surgery was not performed.

[On frozen vena saphena magna as an allograft in peripheral vascular surgery. Report of a case].

The case of a 75 year old white male, with severe ischemia of the left lower limb and gangrene of its fifth digit, is presented. Because of early post-operative thrombosis after insertion of an autogenous composite femoro-popliteal venous by-pass graft and recurrence of symptoms, a fresh frozen human varicose vein allograft procedure was performed. A pseudo-aneurism which occurred along the graft on the 13th postoperative day was successfully treated by segmental excision with "end-to-end" reconstruction of the allograft itself. This was followed by plastic reconstruction of his foot with primary healing and complete disappearance of symptoms. The patient is now eight months post- op with excellent functional result. Only twenty two similar cases were gathered from the literature. All problems associated with allograft transplantation of fresh and frozen veins are discussed. This case further supports the facts that bloodgroup incompatibility is not a major problem and that reinterventions on such grafts are feasable.

[Computer hardware for a surgical service].

While the bulk of all medical information is text, we think that the hardware needed to collect this information and to store it in a databank, must be essentially a first class work processor, working in a multi-user system with terminals where this information is gathered: the nursing stations, operating theatres, outpatient clinics and a working and archiving station centrally placed and capable to link those different terminals and those from other services as well.
