EJVES Extra RSS feed: Articles in Press. The European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery is aimed primarily at vascular surgeons dealing with patients with arterial, venous and lymphatic diseases. Contributions are included on the diagnosis, investigation and management of these vascular disorders. Papers that consider the technical aspects of vascular surgery are encouraged, and the journal includes invited state-of-the-art articles. Reflecting the increasing importance of endovascular techniques in the management of vascular diseases and the value of closer collaboration between the vascular surgeon and the vascular radiologist, the journal has now extended its scope to encompass the growing number of contributions from this exciting field. Articles describing endovascular method and their critical evaluation are included, as well as reports on the emerging technology associated with this field. Contributions are also included from such associated specialities as angiology, diabetology, rehabilitation and other fundamental sciences, provided these relate to the management of vascular patients. The European Society For Vascular Surgery was founded and inaugurated on May 6, 1987 in London. The objectives of the Society are to relieve sickness and to preserve and protect health by advancing for the public benefit the science and art and research into vascular disease including vascular surgery.

Arising from the popliteal artery, the aberrant posterior tibial artery coursed medially and passed between the tendons of the soleus and the medial head of gastrocnemius muscles. Covered by the crural fascia, the variant artery descended along the medial border of the tibia, parallel to the great saphenous vein. The arterial variation described here, though rare, could present some diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in the field of vascular surgery.A Unique Case of ‘Superficial’ Posterior Tibial Artery – Anatomical and Clinical Considerations - Corrected ProofL.

We present a case of carotid patch infection with pseudoaneurysms successfully treated with a covered stent. Follow-up to 31 months demonstrated no clinical, biochemical or microbiological evidence of local or systemic infection and surveillance duplex confirmed continued exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm. At fourteen months, symptomatic proximal and distal restenoses were successfully restented. The patient then remained asymptomatic, but the distal stenosis recurred. Endovascular treatment may be an alternative to surgery, particularly in those who are high risk.Endovascular Treatment of an Infected Carotid Prosthetic Patch and Pseudo-aneurysm - Corrected ProofG.
