[Aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (our experience)].

The AA. report their experience on 22 cases of aneurysm involving under renal abdominal aorta as mortality rate in elective surgery is about 16% and in emergency operation it rises up to 60%. The AA. remark the opportunity of early surgical treatment. Ti decrease mortality rate.

[Subrenal coarctation of the aorta. Presentation of a clinical case].

Coarctation of abdominal aorta constitutes a rare group of vascular abnormalities, including segmental stenoses and extended hypoplasia below the restriction. Usually hypertension is the only clinical evidence. The natural history of the surgically untreated disease foresees a decline of life expectancy; while surgical operation permit an almost complete "restitutio ad integrum". The Authors report a case of coarctation of the abdominal aorta come to their observation whose particularly was determined by the absence of high blood pressure, the aortic stenoses being located under the renal arteries.

[Tumors of the carotid glomus (chemodectomas)].

Two cases of carotid body tumor (chemodectomas) have been reported and at this regard the international literature reviewed. Concerning the diagnosis selective angiograms represent the investigation of choice in clinical assessment and planning operative approach. Doppler-ultrasound results particularly useful in the follow up of patients after surgery. With advances in vascular technique, complete excision of the tumor has become possible and is now associated with minimal morbidity and mortality. Survival rate of resected patients is equivalent to that for sex age matched control subjects.

The elongation of the internal carotid artery. Diagnosis and surgical treatment.

Cerebro-vascular insufficiency is rarely caused by an abnormal elongation of the internal carotid artery (the ratio is 15% to 17% of symptomatic patients). The anomalies can be defined as: tortuosity, when the artery has a "C" or "S" shape; coiling, when the elongation is more evident and the artery forms one or more loops; kinking, when there is a sharp angulation of the first portion of the internal carotid artery. The etiology of these peculiar arterial modifications seems to be related to a congenital basis which may become exaggerated with ageing of the artery. Surgical correction should include intra-arterial inspection (TEA) as well as eliminating the pathological elongation. The Authors presents their 9 cases surgical experience.
