Abstract

Direct reconstruction of veins is being applied to patients with chronic venous stasis. Crosspubic bypass and saphenopopliteal bypass have proven satisfactory, and valve reconstruction by valvuloplasty, segment transfer and autotransplantation is being explored. These procedures add to the surgeon's armamentarium in dealing with chronic venous stasis. The results of their application are summarized.

Leiomyosarcoma of the superior mesenteric vein: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.

We report here a case of a very rare entity, a leiomyosarcoma of the mesentericoportal trunk, which was initially misdiagnosed as an unresectable pancreatic cancer invading the mesenteric vein, and which was finally treated by pancreatectomy with mesentericoportal reconstruction. The pitfalls of diagnosis and modalities of resection are discussed.

The evidence for cerebral protection: an analysis and summary of the literature.

It has been considered likely that the majority of cerebral ischaemic episodes following carotid artery stenting are due to cerebral embolisation. It is intuitive therefore, to attempt to prevent these presumptive emboli, whether they are comprised of air or formed elements, from reaching the brain. Various pharmacological and mechanical solutions are being used. The available literature is hampered by comparisons against historical controls of unprotected CAS with many confounding variables that may influence outcome. There is no clinical Level-I evidence to support the use of protection devices but Level-III and Level-IV evidence suggest benefit.
