Arteriovenous fistula of the internal mammary artery (combat injury): transcatheter intravascular coil occlusion.

A case of arteriovenous fistula of the left internal mammary artery occluded by Gianturco coil is reported. A 26-year-old male suffered multiple explosive injuries. Right heart failure developed postoperatively. Digital subtraction angiography demonstrated arteriovenous fistulas between the left internal mammary artery and left subclavian and innominate veins. Considering previous multiple surgical interventions and severe general condition of the patient, both arteriovenous fistulas were successfully occluded by transcatheter placement of a Gianturco coil.

[Surgical reconstructive treatment of blood vessels in the popliteal region].

Severe occlusive disease frequently includes the popliteal artery and origin of the trifurcation vessels with reconstruction of one or more of the crural arteries. We made femorocrural bypass 23 times. Our indications for operation continue to be relief of pain or salvage of extremity. Of the 23 grafts during of one year period block recurred in 8 patients. Five times we made amputation and good results we had in 15 patients. In one patient we used Gore-tex prosthesis with succses in 4 month period.
