[Simultaneous revascularization of the superficial and deep femoral arteries].

Simultaneous bypass revascularization of the two terminal branches of the common femoral arteries can be achieved by the angioplastic method reported here, which does not require any prosthetic or venous material. The method has been used successfully in 10 cases of chronic arteriopathy of the lower limbs. Its indications according to the lesions are discussed and comparisons are made with other possible techniques.

[Cervical ribs. Therapeutic deliberations apropos of 10 cases].

The authors report ten cases of cervical ribs operated upon in 7 patients. The predominantly neurological symptoms and signs were associated with vascular problems in 3 cases, with intermittent compression of the sub-clavian vessels. Treatment consisted of resection of the cervical rib and the first rib via an extra-pleural axillary approach using the technique described by Roos. It gave 10 good results with a follow-up of 6 months to 3 years. The authors emphasise the fact that this pathology falls within the context of compressive syndromes of the root of the upper limb or thoracic outlet syndrome. Such a conception justifies associated resection of the first rib which should give better long term results than simple resection of the extra rib.

[Approach to the dorso-lumbar joint by sub-pleuro-peritoneal route].

The authors expose an access to the dorsal-lumbar spine through sub pleuro-peritoneal way. There are two interesting points to it: - A very wide open access allowing every surgical gesture from D9 to L3 according to the necessities. - The relative mildness of post-operative sequels, regarding the extra serous form of this way. The use of this access should allow to widden the surgical informations relative to the dorso-lumbar articulation.

Traumatic aneurysms of the internal carotid artery at the base of the skull. Two cases treated surgically.

Internal carotid aneurysms at the base of the skull after blunt trauma are infrequent but their management is difficult, leading many surgeons to only attempt ligation. We report 2 cases presenting with high traumatic aneurysms, following motorcycle accidents. The 2 aneurysms underwent repair by a venous graft. The petrous portion of the carotid artery was approached and controlled by an ENT surgeon. This "infratemporal" approach was used exposing the facial nerve, combined with temporary anterior sub-luxation of the temporomaxillary joint to expose the lower part of the carotid canal which was opened up with a drill in order to control the carotid artery in the petrous canal. Both patients developed facial nerve palsies which improved within 3 months. Postoperative angiography showed patent vein grafts and the patients were doing well, without any symptoms 18 and 24 months later.
