[Iatrogenic carotid-jugular arterio-venous fistula: a rare complication associated with jugular venous catheterization (a case report)]. / Fistule artério-veineuse iatrogène carotido-jugulaire: une complication rare du cathétérisme de la veine jugulaire (à propos d'un cas).

Catheterization of the internal jugular vein is widely performed by both nephrologists and surgeons. It has become a routine procedure, but can be associated with serious complications. Carotid-jugular arterio-venous fistula (CJAVF) is a rare but potentially fatal complication. Very few cases have been reported in the literature. This study involved a patient with iatrogenic CJAVF following hemodialysis catheter placement performed three weeks earlier. The diagnosis was clinically suspected based on the discovery of laterocervical thrill and confirmed by echo-Doppler and angiography. The patient underwent successful open surgery. Operator experience and trainees support, in addition to the use of ultrasound guidance, can significantly reduce the occurrence of complications during jugular venous catheterization.

Infectious aneurysm of the two primary iliac arteries: rare localization of Salmonella typhimurium infection.

Infectious aneurysm is a severe entity of the aneurysmal pathology, due essentially to a bacterial agent. The most frequently implicated organisms are salmonella and staphylococci. We report the case of an infectious aneurysm of the two primitive iliac arteries with Salmonella typhimurium in a 70-year-old man.
