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.

Neurological complications have been reported, however they are rare. Our case report highlights the first case of subarachnoid haemorrhage occurring post sclerotherapy.Report: A previously healthy 63-year old lady presented with sudden onset headache and vomiting immediately after injection of liquid sclerotherapy for lower limb varicose veins. Non-contrast CT brain demonstrated acute subarachnoid haemorrhage. The patient was treated conservatively and made a full recovery 48 h later.Discussion: Subarachnoid haemorrhage occurring post sclerotherapy is a serious complication that is associated with this procedure.Acute Subarachnoid Haemorrhage following Liquid Sclerotherapy - Corrected ProofM.

Here, we report a case of a popliteal venous aneurysm of the right popliteal fossa.Method: In a 32-year-old healthy male complaining of a localised swelling and pain in his right popliteal fossa, duplex ultrasonography and angio-computed tomography revealed a giant popliteal vein aneurysm. The popliteal fossa was surgically explored and aneurysm was resected partially and sutured through posterior approach.Results: Recovery was uneventful and patient still remains asymptomatic. Further duplex ultrasonography follow-ups revealed patency of popliteal vein without thrombotic changes in 1st, 6th, 12th and 15th months. Additionally, no dilatation of the operated vein segment has been observed in the follow-up ultrasound studies.Conclusion: Surgical repair of popliteal venous aneurysms can be performed safely. Partial aneurysm resection together with lateral venorrhaphy is preferred. Due to pulmonary thrombo-embolic complication risks, we recommend surgery in early stages.A Rare Case of Popliteal Venous Aneurysm - Corrected ProofM. Dumantepe, I.A. Tarhan, A. Ozler, I.

Few cases of abdominal aortic dissection caused by iliac arterial dissection have been reported. Herein, we report a case of spontaneous isolated abdominal dissection in which both the entry and exit sites were in the iliac arteries. The patient was treated successfully using the endovascular aneurysm repair procedure.A Spontaneous Dissecting Abdominal Aneurysm Originating from the Iliac Artery - Corrected ProofF. Gao, J.
