Femoropopliteal prosthetic bypass graft infection due to Mycobacterium abscessus localized by FDG-PET/CT scan.

29 Sep 2009 A patient with postvascular graft placement presented with bacteremia but no localizing symptoms. Our standard infected graft workup of computed tomography (CT) scan, ultrasound scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, and additional laboratory ... Read more...

Arteriovenous fistula complicating directional atherectomy of the popliteal artery.

29 Sep 2009 We describe a case of a 70-year-old man with a critical popliteal artery stenosis treated by directional atherectomy and complicated by a huge arteriovenous fistula. A 70-year-old man, previously treated by bilateral femoropopliteal bypass, was ... Read more...

Hybrid approach for treatment of behind the knee popliteal artery aneurysms.

30 Aug 2009 We describe herein a combined approach to the treatment of popliteal artery aneurysms (PAA) that averts extensive dissections and potential blood loss particularly in cases of behind-the-knee aneurysms. Over the last 4 years, 13 patients (12 males) ... Read more...
