Abstract
L'anévrisme de l'artère gastroduodénale est une lésion vasculaire rare, asymptomatique dans la majorité des cas. Cependant, en cas de rupture de l’anévrisme, le pronostic est mauvais et la mortalité peut atteindre 40%. Nous rapportons le cas d’un patient âgé de 83 ans, qui a présenté brutalement des douleurs abdominales non spécifiques, associées à des hématémèses, et chez qui une fibroscopie a révélé une formation battante comprimant le bulbe duodénal avec un saignement actif, une tomodensitométrie abdominale a été réalisé et a mis en évidence un anévrisme de l’artère gastroduodénale englobant son ostium, et rendant une prise en charge endovasculaire impossible. Une chirurgie ouverte a donc été réalisée, et a consisté en une mise à plat associée à une exclusion de l’anévrisme, puis complétée par une plastie du bulbe. Une tomodensitométrie post-opératoire a confirmé l’exclusion totale de l’anévrisme avec la conservation de la circulation hépatique.

Abstract
We describe an hybrid approach for aortic pseudoaneurysm with open and endovascular treatment as an alternative treatment for a high-risk patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus. A 42-year-old man, serum positive for human immunodeficiency virus, presented, with a large pseudoaneurysm of the arch aorta measuring 61 × 70 mm. An aortic arch debranching was performed, completed by thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair. A control computed tomography scan performed 3 months later showed a complete thrombosis of the pseudoaneurysm. The outcome of this treatment, particularly regarding the rate of infection, is yet to be determined, Longer follow-up is needed with a greater of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic injury to the descending thoracic aorta other than the isthmus is rare, and little known. Acute post-trauma rupture may occur in a context of multiple or rarely unique localizations. CASE REPORT We report the case of a young man who was the victim of multiple injuries with an isolated rupture of the descending thoracic aorta. Early diagnosis and adapted endovascular treatment led to favorable outcome. CONCLUSION In 90% of cases, acute post-trauma rupture of the aorta in a single localization involve the isthmus. Rupture of the descending aorta is more exceptional but must not be missed. The pathophysiological mechanism and appropriate management are discussed in light of a review of the literature.

Abstract
Pseudoaneurysms of the gluteal arteries are rare, often secondary to blunt or penetrating pelvic trauma. These pseudoaneurysms are initially asymptomatic and manifest after a variable delay ranging from a few weeks to many years after the initial trauma. The spontaneous outcome can be fatal in case of rupture. Previously, treatment of gluteal pseudoaneurysms was exclusively surgical, but the advent of endovascular techniques revolutionized management practices by decreasing perioperative morbidity and offering results comparable to those of surgery. We report the case of a patient admitted for emergency management of a ruptured post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the superior gluteal artery that had occurred 20 days after penetrating buttock trauma. Selective embolization was successful.

Abstract
Extracranial carotid false aneurysms are rare but serious because of the high risk of rupture and thromboembolic ischemic strokes. Although hemodynamic and hormonal physiological changes in pregnant women may favor arterial rupture and the development of false aneurysms, only one case of extracranial carotid false aneurysm related to pregnancy has been reported in the literature. Surgical repair is still the treatment of choice of these lesions. We report a case of spontaneous false aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery occurring at the end of pregnancy. The surgical procedure consisted in resection of the false aneurysm with interposition of a prosthetic graft. The follow-up was uneventful.

Abstract
Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder of connective tissue which has many clinical symptoms and whose prognosis depends on associated cardiovascular complications, dominated by proximal aortic disorders. Peripheral arterial aneurysms are rare during Marfan syndrome and are exceptionally indicative of the disease. We report the case of a large aneurysm of the axillary-subclavian artery in pre-rupture revealing a new case of Marfan syndrome. Treatment consisted in surgical repair by resection of the aneurysm and performing a venous bypass graft; the postoperative course was uneventful.

Abstract
Blunt trauma rarely causes renal pedicle dissection. Clinical signs are minimal and inconsistently reported. The diagnosis is based on computed tomographic angiography; arteriography is still useful when revascularization is considered. We report here a case of traumatic dissection with thrombosis of a juxta-aortic renal pedicle monitored in the intensive care unit. An endovascular procedure could not be proposed because of the juxta-aortic localization.

Abstract
False aneurysms of the extracranial vertebral artery (FAVA) are rare because of the path of the artery at the level of the transverse holes. They can be secondary to penetrating cervical trauma, spontaneous in the course of an angiopathy such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or iatrogenic. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman who presented a syndrome of Claude Bernard-Horner related to a spontaneous FAVA. The angioscanner confirmed the diagnosis and the patient underwent successful surgical treatment of the false aneurysm with ligature of the vertebral artery. Outcome was favorable.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) using the Multilayer Flow Modulator (MFM) in high-surgical-risk patients with at least one covered branch vessel. METHODS In this prospective single-center nonrandomized trial, 18 patients (mean age 61.1 years; 16 men) with TAAA (n=10, mean diameter 74.4 mm) and AAA (n=8, mean diameter 67.8 mm) were treated with the MFM between June 2009 and September 2012. The primary safety endpoints were all-cause mortality at 30 days and 12 months and neurological complications. The primary efficacy endpoint was overall procedure success, defined as patency of covered branch vessels, reductions in aneurysm diameter, and sac thrombus formation. RESULTS The technical success rate was 100% (53 study devices implanted, mean stented length 273 mm). Through mean follow-up of 13.4 months, all 61 covered branch vessels remained patent; there were no neurologic complications, ruptures, or instances of device migration, kinking, or fracture. Three patients died, 2 of unrelated causes and one of an undetermined cause. Only one reintervention with an additional MFM implanted at 5 years was required for a type I endoleak in a young patient with natural growth. Carefully planned and executed diameter and volume measurements demonstrated aneurysm shrinkage and progressive sac thrombus formation for both patient groups. CONCLUSION Through midterm follow-up, treatment of high-surgical-risk TAAA and AAA patients with the MFM appears to be safe and effective, maintaining branch vessel patency and reducing rupture risk through reduction of aneurysm diameter and modulation of flow dynamics. Longer term follow-up is needed.

Abstract
Behçet's disease is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiopathogenesis. Arterial events such as pseudo-aneurysms are rare and may be the mode of occurrence of the disease. These pseudo-aneurysms tend, regardless of size, to progress rapidly to life-threatening rupture. We report two cases of arterial pseudo-aneurysms that ruptured. Treatment consisted of surgical repair in one case and arterial ligation in the other; the postoperative course was uneventful in both cases.

Abstract
Background Idiopathic thoracic aortic mural thrombi are rare. They can be responsible for dramatic systemic embolization. Early treatment is imperative because of their high morbidity and mortality rate. Case presentation A 55-year-old previously healthy Moroccan male came in an array of acute right lower limbs pain and abdominal sensibility. Severe systemic embolism involving the lower extremities, spleen, kidney, and digestive tract, due to an idiopathic mural thrombus of the thoracic aorta was diagnosed. He received medical treatment leading to the complete disappearance of the thrombus and the effects caused by the latter. Conclusions When faced unexplained peripheral embolization, research for a thrombus of the thoracic aorta should be performed. Medical treatment should be considered for its management, especially in patients with high surgical risk.

Abstract
Middle aortic syndrome (MAS) results from a diffuse narrowing of the distal thoracic or abdominal aorta commonly involving both the visceral and renal arteries. Congenital, acquired, inflammatory, and infectious etiologies have been described. Symptoms typically occur within the first three decades of life and include hypertension, lower extremity claudication, and mesenteric ischemia. The condition is considered a life-threatening emergency as a result of the complications associated with severe hypertension. Diagnosis is made with magnetic resonance and computed tomography angiography. Surgical bypass grafting is the optimal method of treatment and must be tailored depending on the distribution of disease. We report one case of MAS treated with thoracic aorta to abdominal aorta bypass and reimplantation of the right renal artery.

Abstract
Behçet's disease is an uncommon systemic process generally developing during the third or fourth decade of life. Recurrent inflammatory lesions are characteristic. Cardiovascular involvement, which may be arterial or venous, is rare but with particularly severe prognosis. Four cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm are reported. One patient underwent emergency surgery for acute rupture. All patients were male, age range 29-45 years, mean age 36.5 years. Three patients were followed for Behçet's disease. Surgical revascularization was performed in all four patients, mainly with prosthetic grafts, one with patch aortoplasty. The postoperative period was complicated by paraplegia and thrombosis of the prosthetic graft in the patient who underwent emergency surgery. On the basis of these cases and cases reported in the literature, it can be concluded that morbidity and mortality are high because of the etiology underlying vascular involvement in Behçet's disease.

Abstract
We report five cases of a persistent sciatic artery. The lesion was unilateral in all cases. Four patients were treated by exclusion of the aneurysm with ligature of the internal iliac artery with an associated femoropopliteal bypass in two. Surgical treatment was declined by one patient. We discuss the embryology, pathology, clinical aspects and surgical procedures involved.

Abstract
A case of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in a 23 year-old patient is reported. Clinical signs are like any intrascrotal tumor. Scrotal ultrasound, CT scan and immunohistochemical markers are necessary for the diagnosis and stadification of this cancer. Orchidectomy followed by radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is the usual treatment. Prognosis depends on the tumoral stage.
