RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Duplicity of the common bile duct (BCBD) is an unusual congenital disorder. CASE REPORT: A 80-year-old woman with duplication of the common bile duct with retrograde endoscopic cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) who did not resolve the symptoms. DISCUSSION: Our case is a variant of type IV to the classification of DCBC. The MR cholangiography and presurgical ERCP allows assessment of the bile ducts, their caliber, and assessment of abnormalities. The treatment before DCBC will depend on the clinic and the type of opening of the CBCA. CONCLUSIONS: It is important to perform a pre-surgical study and during surgery with CIO.
INTRODUCCIÓN: La duplicidad del conducto biliar común (DCBC) es una alteración congénita insólita. CASO CLÍNICO: Mujer de 80 años con duplicación de la vía biliar común con colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE) que no dilucida la clínica. DISCUSIÓN: Este caso es una variante del tipo IV de la clasificación de DCBC. La colangiorresonancia y la CPRE prequirúrgica permiten valorar las vías biliares, su calibre y las anormalidades. El tratamiento depende de la clínica y el tipo de apertura del conducto biliar común accesorio. CONCLUSIONES: Es importante realizar estudio prequirúrgico y durante la operación con colangiografía intraoperatoria.

Resumo Contexto As oclusões arteriais agudas (OAA) de membros vêm crescendo paralelemente com a longevidade da população. Objetivos O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar fatores de risco, salvamento de membros e sobrevida dos pacientes com OAA tratados em instituição universitária. Métodos Este é um estudo coorte retrospectivo de pacientes consecutivos. Os desfechos incluíram: sucesso técnico, sintomas, comorbidades, categoria Rutherford, artérias acometidas, complicações pós-operatórias, taxa de salvamento de membros em 30 dias e óbitos. Resultados Avaliou-se 105 prontuários, havendo predomínio do sexo masculino (65,7%) e idade entre 46 a 91 anos. As etiologias identificadas foram trombóticas (54,3%), embólicas (35,2%) e indefinidas (10,5%). Cerca de dois terços apresentavam-se nas Categorias II e III de Rutherford. Os sintomas associados encontrados foram dor (97,1%), esfriamento (89,5%), palidez (64,7%), parestesias (44,7%), paralisias (30,5%), anestesias (21,9%), edema (21,9%) e cianose (15,2%); e as comorbidades associadas observadas foram hipertensão (65,0%), tabagismo (59,0%), arritmias (26,6%), dislipidemias (24,0%) e diabetes (23,8%). O segmento femoral superficial-poplíteo-distal foi o mais acometido (80%). A tromboembolectomia com cateter Fogarty foi realizada em 73,3% dos casos (81,0% nas embolias, 71,9% nas tromboses e 54,5% nos indefinidos), sendo isoladamente em 41 pacientes (39,05%), nos quais ocorreram 11 reoclusões, 20 amputações e 14 óbitos. A reoclusão arterial foi mais frequente nas tromboses (12,9%; p = 0,054). Até 30 dias após tratamento, o óbito total foi de 14,6% e a amputação maior foi de 19,8%, sendo menos frequente na Classe I Rutherford (p = 0,0179). Conclusão O tratamento da OAA feito prioritariamente por meio de tromboembolectomia com cateter Fogarty, isolado e/ou associado, proporcionou taxas de amputação e complicações compatíveis com as apresentadas na literatura e progressivamente menores nas categorias Rutherford menos avançadas.
Abstract Background Acute arterial occlusions (AAO) in limbs have been increasing in parallel with population longevity. Objective To assess risk factors, limb salvage rates, and survival of patients with AAO treated at a University Hospital. Methods Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients. Outcomes included: patency, symptoms, comorbidities, Rutherford category, arteries occluded, postoperative complications, and 30-day limb salvage and mortality rates. Results Medical records were evaluated from 105 patients, predominantly males (65.7%), with ages ranging from 46 to 91 years. Etiology: thrombotic (54.3%), embolic (35.2%), and undefined (10.5%). About 2/3 of the patients were assessed as Rutherford category II or III. Associated symptoms: pain (97.1%), coldness (89.5%), pallor (64.7%), sensory loss (44.7%), paralysis (30.5%), anesthesia (21.9%), edema (21.9%), and cyanosis (15.2%). Associated comorbidities: hypertension (65.0%), smoking (59.0%), arrhythmias (26.6%), dyslipidemia (24.0%), and diabetes (23.8%). The distal superficial femoral-popliteal segment was the most affected (80%). Thromboembolectomy with a Fogarty catheter was performed in 73.3% of cases (81.0% of embolic cases, 71.9% of thrombotic cases, and 54.5% of cases with undefined etiology) and was the only treatment used in 41 cases (39.05%), among which there were 11 reocclusion, 20 amputations, and 14 deaths. Arterial reocclusion was more frequent in thrombosis cases (12.9%, p = 0.054). Within 30 days of treatment, total mortality was 14.6%, and 19.8% of cases underwent major amputation, which was less frequent among Rutherford Class I patients (p = 0.0179). Conclusion Treatment of AAO was primarily performed by thromboembolectomy with a Fogarty catheter, either alone or in combination with other treatments, achieving amputation and complication rates compatible with the best results in the literature and were progressively lower in less advanced Rutherford categories.

O aneurisma arterial induzido por uso de muleta é um evento raro, e a associação com aneurismas venosos não está descrita na literatura. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente que, após o uso prolongado dessa órtese, apresentou quadro de isquemia aguda de membro superior secundária à trombose de um aneurisma da artéria braquial, associado ao achado incidental de aneurismas da veia braquial. Embora a principal causa de oclusão arterial aguda de membro superior seja a embolização de fonte cardíaca, deve-se considerar a possibilidade de embolização arterioarterial por aneurismas provocados pelo uso prolongado de muletas. Os aneurismas venosos também devem ser suspeitados, uma vez que podem ser sede de trombos e fonte de êmbolos pulmonares
Crutch-induced arterial aneurysm is a rare event and there are no descriptions in the literature of cases with concomitant venous aneurysms. We report the case of a patient who, after prolonged crutch use, presented with acute ischemia of the upper limb secondary to brachial artery aneurysm thrombosis, associated with the incidental finding of brachial vein aneurysms. Although the main cause of acute upper limb occlusion is embolization of cardiac origin, consideration should be given to the possibility of arterio-arterial embolization due to an aneurysm induced by prolonged use of crutches. Venous aneurysms should also be suspected since they can be sites of thrombosis, and a source of pulmonary embolism

BACKGROUND: Aneurysm of the splenic artery is diagnosed when the diameter of the splenic artery is greater than 1cm. It occupies third place among abdominal aneurysms. It is more frequent in women (4:1). It is associated with trauma, haemodynamics and local hormonal effects during pregnancy, portal hypertension (including the Caroli syndrome), arterial degeneration, atherosclerosis, and liver transplantation. It is difficult to diagnose, and it generally presents as ruptured, thus once the diagnosis is made, the surgical approach is indicated due to its high mortality. CLINICAL CASE: Female of 66 years of age with a diagnosis of splenic artery aneurysm, with pulsing sensation at epigastric level of 8 months onset. On physical examination there is a palpable throbbing mass of 9 cm of diameter approximately, for which she was admitted. The computed tomography angiography with reconstruction showed three splenic aneurysms. Two were tied and the larger one was repaired by endo-aneurysmorrhaphy. DISCUSSION: Visceral aneurysms are extremely rare. They are currently increasing and are the third leading cause of cardiovascular death, as morbidity/mortality is high. The surgical treatment must be done selectively according to their size. Selection of the surgical techniques depends on the anatomic location and the need for revascularisation, the aetiology and the experience of the surgeon. CONCLUSION: A review has been presented on the advances in diagnostic, and management, concluding that the best is to preserve the spleen, and whatever the technique it must be performed by trained surgeons.

Autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the first choice for hemodialysis access in renal failure with uremia. However, AVF cannot be performed in some patients due to small and narrow veins in the forearm. In this study, a Fogarty catheter was used to establish autogenous radiocephalic hemodialysis access in patients with small caliber cephalic veins, and the patency rate and complications of this method were observed. Sixty-seven patients with uremia were divided into a treatment group (40 cases, caliber of cephalic veins<2.5 mm) and a control group (27 cases, caliber of cephalic veins≥2.5 mm). According to ultrasound results, the treatment group received AVF after expansion with a Fogarty catheter, and the control group received traditional AVF. The fistula patency rate and complications were observed during follow-up. All patients were followed up for an average period of 18 months (range=3-36 months). AVF was successfully used in 58 patients for hemodialysis, with primary access failure in 9 cases (5 cases in the treatment group and 4 cases in the control group) due to early thrombosis. The primary and secondary patency rates 12 months after surgery in the treatment group were 64 and 72%, respectively, and those in the control group were 60 and 76%, respectively. Patients with small caliber cephalic veins can be treated with radiocephalic fistula after the caliber of cephalic veins is expanded to more than 2.5 mm with a Fogarty catheter. The long-term patency rate awaits observation in a longer follow-up period.
