RESUMO
The prevalence of obstructive arterial disease is between 3.5 and 12.1% in 60 aged populations. It's a current disease which has a pernicious influence in quality of life. Management of patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease has to be planned in the context of natural history, epidemiology, and apparent risk factors that predict deterioration. The purpose of this review is to take stock of the consensus and the controversies about terminology, epidemiology, diagnosis and management of peripheral arterial occlusive disease
RESUMO
Chronic contained rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm is a rare event which can cause diagnostic difficulties. It can present as a chronic back pain and the delayed diagnosis and delayed surgical repair may compromise the final results. The outcome of urgent repair of a chronic contained leak is equivalent to that of elective aneurysm repair. We report a case of contained rupture of a small abdominal aortic aneurysm with delayed diagnosis, evaluated by computed tomography showing a beginning erosion of the lumbar vertebral body. The patient was operated on within 24 hours on admission with uneventful surgical outcome
