RESUMO
An 81-year-old man who had a saccular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with a narrow terminal aorta underwent endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) with the Medtronic Endurant<sup>®</sup> stent graft system. After 4 days, computed tomography (CT) showed stenosis of the stent graft left limb, which was pressed flat against the right limb at the narrow terminal aorta. We performed re-intervention to dilate the narrow terminal aorta and bilateral limbs with kissing stenting using Express Vascular LD<sup>®</sup> (Boston Scientific). After operation his ankle brachial pressure index rose from 0.88 to 0.99 and there was no evidence of stenotic limbs at CT image. We need to be careful about the stenotic limb after EVAR with Medtronic Endurant stentgraft system for AAA with a narrow terminal aorta.
RESUMO
A 76-year-old woman, suffering from rapidly worsening dyspnea, and general fatigue was referred for evaluation and treatment of cardiac tumor. Echocardiography and computed tomography revealed a large tumor occupying the right atrium and inferior vena cava. We performed partial resection with cardiopulmonary bypass, in order to improve hemodynamics. The pathological examination suggested malignant lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell type. The patient was treated with cyclophosphamide, cyosine, arabinoside, etoposide, dexamethasone and rituximab (CHASER) postoperatively and gained complete response.
