Abstract:
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is first-choice treatment for many patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. Complications unique to endovascular treatment include endoleak and endotension, which can eventually lead to rupture. We present two cases of late aortic rupture after EVAR, where both patients had recent preceding catheter-directed thrombolysis with urokinase for acute limb ischemia. These cases suggest a relation between thrombolytic therapy and aortic rupture after EVAR, and we should therefore be aware of this possible complication.

Veins of Lower Limbs
Formed by the union of the medial and lateral plantar veins, the posterior tibial vein, rising through the calf muscle, assimilates the fibular vein. The anterior tibial vein, a superior extension of the foot's dorsalis pedis vein, merges with the posterior tibial vein at the...
