[Venous endoprosthesis. Palliative treatment of superior caval syndrome of neoplastic origin].

Twenty-three patients with SVC syndrome were evaluated with CT and venography. The superior vena cava or its tributaries were either stenosed or thrombosed. The etiology was malignant in all cases: non small cell carcinoma (16 cases), mediastinal nodal metastasis (3 cases), lymphomas (2 cases), pleural mesothelioma (1 case), small cell carcinoma (1 case). The length of the stenosis ranged from 20 to 70 mm. The stents were placed via a femoral, jugular or brachial approach. Stenting was achieved in 22/23 patients (96%). Clinical symptoms subsided in 20/22 patients (87%). Mean follow-up was 15 weeks. Stents remained patent in 17/20 patients (78%). Stenting is a safe and effective treatment of SVC syndrome in patients with malignant conditions.

[Thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery and Behçet's syndrome].

The authors describe the third case in the literature of superior mesenteric artery's thrombosis occurring in the course of the Behçet's syndrome according to Mason and Barnes classification. Clinical manifestations in the patient were represented by intestinal angor. The literature data concerning vascular involvement in Behçet's disease, particularly thrombosis are reviewed. The value of noninvasive paraclinic arterial digestive explorations is discussed.

[Aortic aneurysms due to Yersinia enterocolitica: three new cases and a review of the literature].

We report three cases of mycotic aortic aneurysms due to Yersinia enterocolitica. In all cases, serogroups are O:9. The three patients more than 70 year-old men with immunodeficiency underlying conditions allowing bacterial graft (neoplasia, diabetes mellitus, dysimmunitary syndrome, hematologic diseases). The six cases of the literature were clinically, biologically and epidemiologically similar. The strains of Y enterocolitica responsible for septicemia are especially serogroups O:9. This is probably due to particular virulence factors in this serogroup (phagocytosis resistance gene: yopH, ypkA et yop E) (yop: Yersinia outer membrane proteins). The presence of a pYV plasmid (plasmid yersinia virulence), found in Yersinia pathogen strains, lead to bacterial proliferation in the tissues. The authors discuss pathophysiological mechanisms involved in arterial bacterial graft following an Y. enterocolitica infection.
