ABSTRACT
Behçet disease is a systemic vasculitis that can cause vascular complications. We describe a 42-year-old woman with an aortic aneurysm and common right iliac aneurysm, both saccular and complicating Behçet disease. The patient was successfully treated by an endovascular method, which currently seems to be the best therapeutic choice given the frequent anastomotic complications of conventional surgical treatment.

Iatrogenic bladder injury in vascular surgery is very rare. We report a case of bladder injury by penetration secondary to the tunneling of a vascular graft through the space of Retzius. The diagnosis of an intravesical graft was made by computed tomography 1 week later. The patient underwent open bladder surgery associated with complete graft resection without immediate vascular reconstruction.
