[Primary iliac arterio-venous fistula from spontaneous rupture of an atheromatous aneurysm (author's transl)].
The case of a patients, with a spontaneous arterio-venous fistula between the right common iliac vessels secondary to an atherosclerotic aneurysm of the artery, is presented. The authors, with the aid of the literature, recall the characteristic physical findings, the clues of the diagnosis and the modalities of the surgical treatment of such lesions. They insist on the importance of an early diagnosis as far as aneurysms are concerned, which allows to treat the lesions before complications arise.
Surgical treatment of acute dissection of the aorta superimposed on pre-existing aneurysm of the ascending aorta. Total replacement of the ascending aorta with reimplantation of the coronary arteries. A report on five cases.
Five cases of acute dissection of the ascending aorta superimposed on a pre-existing aneurysm, including two with propagation of the dissection into the coronary arteries, were treated by total replacement of the ascending aorta utilizing a valve containing tube graft and reimplantation of the coronary arteries. Diverse techniques such as the use of an intermediate tube for reconnecting the coronary arteries, correction of the coronary dissection by reapproximation of the two layers or with bypass grafting, support of the distal aortic suture line with Teflon felt and fistulization of the periprosthetic space to the right atrium, greatly simplified the treatment of these lesions, permitting survival of four out of five patients, who are in excellent health one, four, and seven years respectively after surgery.

[Ethical and social problems posed by organ transplantation].
Organ transplantation more than a scientific fact is now a social fact. Since the first organ transplantations in France, forty years ago, medicine demonstrated its ability to perform the operation and to obtain (what was more difficult) the tolerance of the graft but medicine so far remains unable to give the material: organs. These organs are given by the donor's relatives when the kidney is concerned and when it is a donation from a living person. But such donation remain strictly limited in our country (less than 5 p. cent of the kidney transplantations) due to the risk of moral pressure and commercialization. More often and for the other organs (liver, heart, lung) the donation is obtained after death, a special and dramatic death: the brain death. The nowadays spectacular results of organ transplantation 70 to 80 p. cent survival rate at 10 years with a complete rehabilitation gave a considerable increase on the demand. Unfortunately organ transplantation is the victim of its success, the number of donor's organ being insufficient to satisfy the needs. So in December 1990, 6,055 patients were on the waiting list and only 3,772 (56 p. cent) were transplanted. In December 1991, 6,334 patients were on the waiting list and may be only 4,000 could be transplanted. So the difference between the needs and the possibilities is increasing each year with for consequences, the death of 10 p. cent of the waiting patients and, for those who could be transplanted, a considerable increase in the waiting period responsible for slow deterioration of their status and less chances of success.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
