Case Report
Spontaneous Upper Limb DVT
Abstract
Spontaneous upper limb deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is associated with exercise and occurs in young healthy individuals. Underlying anatomical abnormalities are often found, causing compression of the subclavian vein. Prompt thrombolysis and consideration of thoracic outlet decompression differentiate it from lower limb DVT. A case illustrating the clinical features of the condition is presented here.

Aneurysm Rupture Following Limb Disconnection of a Zenith Stent Graft
Abstract
We report the case of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) related to a Type III endoleak which occurred 3 years after treatment of the AAA with a Zenith Cook stent graft. This report will also discuss the mechanism of occurrence and means of detection.
An 81-year-old female underwent elective treatment of a 55 mm AAA using a right aorto-uni-iliac Zenith Cook stent graft. During follow-up, a Type II endoleak was detected and was responsible for a 4 mm aneurysm sac diameter increase. At 30 months, the patient experienced a secondary AAA rupture due to a
Intravascular Hemolysis Following Peripheral Atherectomy with the Pathway Jetstream® Catheter
Abstract
Intravascular hemolysis has been reported with a variety of atherectomy devices. We report a case of hemolysis after the use of the rotational aspiration Pathway Jetstream® catheter in the treatment of severe superficial femoral artery stenosis.
Key words: atherectomy, peripheral vascular disease

Suprarenal IVC Filter Deployment with CDT for Acute DVT and Infrarenal IVC Filter Thrombus
Abstract
We report a patient with recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) for last 8 years. He maintained therapeutic level of international normalized ratio with oral anticoagulants and aspirin. However he continued to have recurrent massive DVT, which necessitated infrarenal inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement with catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT). Subsequently the patient presented with extension of the thrombus into the infrarenal IVC, the IVC filter and beyond the IVC filter. The patient was managed with a suprarenal IVC filter deployment and CDT.

Vascular Complications of Osteochondromas: A Report of Two Cases
Introduction
Osteochondromas, or exostoses, are the most common form of benign bone tumor, representing about 20–50% of all benign and 10–15% of all bone tumors.1 Patients rarely develop vascular complications. In the English literature, only 106 cases are reported. The development of a pseudoaneurysm, which was first described by Paul in 1953,2 is reported in 58 cases.1,3–7
We report two cases of vascular complications of osteochondromas: a pseudoaneurysm and an arterial occlusion.

Following Placement of a Thoracic Aortic Endograft: Successful Treatment with Carotid Subclavian Bypass
Introduction
Most traumatic thoracic aortic disruptions occur in the proximal descending thoracic aorta. A significant number of patients with thoracic aortic pathology are found to have disease adjacent to the origin of the great vessels. Endovascular treatment of these injuries often requires either partial or complete intentional coverage of the origin of the left subclavian artery (LSA) in order to obtain an adequate length of the proximal landing zone.
