The superficial temporal artery (STA), an end branch of the external carotid artery, is a major artery of the head. Due to its location, where skin and fat tissue remain the only protection of the artery, it can be easily damaged while head injury, causing an aneurysm to form. So far around four hundreds of cases of STA aneurysms have been described in the literature. We present a 37-year-old woman with a painless pulsatile mass of approximately one centimeter above the left ear and headaches in the left temporal area. In the past, she was a victim of domestic violence with a few head trauma. The STA aneurysm was confirmed in ultrasound imaging. The patient did not meet the criteria for the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis. She was presented for a vascular surgery consultation and qualified for surgical resection of the aneurysm. In addition, the patient was diagnosed with hepatic hemangioma and mild aortic and mitral valve regurgitation. According to the available literature, STA aneurysms have mostly been reported as post-traumatic. The gold standard for STA aneurysm treatment is surgical resection. The procedure was reported as safe, as well as a low grade of recurrence or complications during the procedure was shown in the literature.

Introduction: Endovenous mechano-chemical ablation of the incompetent great saphenous vein (MOCA) is a new technique that combines mechanical endothelial injury and infusion of a sclerosant agent. Material and methods: This is a prospective study was conducted on 40 patients who presented with the chronic venous disease at Kasr Al Ainy outpatient vascular surgery clinic with CEAP classification namely C2-C6. Results: A total of 40 patients were presented with great saphenous vein incompetency, the mean age was (30), 23 patients were male and 17 were female. The vein occlusion rate at one month was 93 percent and at six months was 87 percent respectively. Conclusions: Endovenous mechanochemical ablation is a safe and effective method for the management of incompetent great saphenous veins compared to open surgery.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a major public health problem. Endothelial dysfunction represents an important mechanism in the development and progression of atherosclerosis, in part attributable to inflammation, platelet and smooth muscle activation, and arterial stiffening. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of lower limb revascularization on endothelial function in patients with PAD. We performed a comprehensive search of the academic literature using the PubMed and Embase databases to screen suitable records. Following the application of our search strategies, a total of eight studies were included in this review. Despite the limited available evidence, the dearth of academic literature suggests that revascularization has a positive effect on endothelial functioning. The effects of endovascular revascularization on endothelial functioning in patients with PAD are subject to further research

A 72-year-old female presented rapidly developing ischemia of the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the antero--medial aspect of a thigh. An atypical clinical manifestation of ischemia led to delayed diagnosis and treatment that resulted in the development of large tissue loss in the anteromedial aspect of the thigh. Endovascular recanalization of recurrent occlusion in the ilio-femoral segment with rotational thrombectomy together with a multi-step local surgical treatment resulted in healing of the lesion

Carotid arteries are the main blood vessels supplying the brain, neck, and face as well as ophthalmic arteries. Internal carotid arteriosclerosis is strictly associated with ophthalmic symptoms caused by damage to the optic nerve. This condition can manifest as an ocular ischemic syndrome or anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. One of the surgical procedures that treat carotid arteriosclerosis is an endarterectomy. It has been proved that this surgical procedure can additionally reduce intraocular pressure and improve visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual field, a bioelectrical function of the optic nerve and retina, and perfusion of the optic nerve head. It has been also observed that the procedure does not affect retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and ganglion cell layer. The aim of this review was, to sum up information on the influence of endarterectomy on the function of the optic nerve based on the up-to-date internet database.

Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL-LT), is a rare and aggressive variant of extranodal lymphoma. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman with unilateral lymphedema of the lower limb as the first and only symptom of PCDLBCL-LT for six months. Violaceous nodules were the second symptom and they progressively developed on the edematous calf. Initially, they were diagnosed as warty overgrowths, which are common skin changes in the course of chronic lymphedema. The lack of improvement in the violaceous nodules after compression therapy prompted to perform a skin biopsy. Histopathological evaluation revealed the presence of PCDLBCL-LT. In this article, we want to highlight the challenges of making a diagnosis of PCDLBCL-LT. To our knowledge, no other study has reported on
