The cause of the predominantly sinistral occurrence of thrombosis of the pelvic veins.

Abstract: From the Department of Pathology, University of Innsbruck, Austria. Head of the Department: Professor Dr. F. J. Lang. 1 Read in an abbreviated form at the 3rd Congrès de la Société Européenne de Chirurgie cardio-vasculaire, Zürich, July 1956. In 1950 Wanke, Kiel, described a new operative method for the surgical treatment of sequelae after old cases of thrombosis of the pelvic veins. He found that the narrowing of the v. iliaca ext. and communis is frequently caused not so much by the lacking recanalization of the vein but rather by compression from withmd as a result of a cicatricial sclerotic transformation of the common sheath caused by former perivenous inflammation. Wanke mentions a closure of the pelvic vessels and therefore recommends shelling out of the callus-like transformations of the sheath. In this we were successful on the occasion of the first

Simple techniques for the surgical occlusion of coronary vessels in the rat.

Abstract: From the Institut de Médecine et de Chirurgie expérimentales, Université de Montréal, Montreal, Canada. * The essence of this communication was presented to the International College of Angiology at a Meeting held in Montreal, February 20, 1960. t Fellow of the Gustavus and Louise Pfeiffer Research Foundation. $ Fellow of the Rotary Club (D 191). Experimental coronary occlusion has been studied extensively in large laboratory animals, but these subjects do not lend themselves well to the large-scale testing of surgical procedures and drugs that may be useful in the prophylaxis

The Quantitative Analysis of Occlusive Peripheral Arterial Disease By a Non-Intrusive Ultrasonic Technique:

Abstract: Investigation of the vascular system using ultrasonic Doppler-shift techniques is rapidly attracting clinical attention. Frequently the technique is used to provide a sophisticated form of stethoscope with a rather non-specific indication of blood flow-velocity, or less frequently for the production of flowvelocity pulse wave shapes. Detailed analysis of these pulse wave shapes has not been reported. However it is known that partial obstruction of the arterial pathway and the presence of collateral vessels produces damping of the pulse

Cholesterol crystal embolization: a review of 221 cases in the English literature

Abstract: Cholesterol crystal embolization (CCE) frequently presents with nonspecific manifestations that mimic other systemic diseases. The authors reviewed 221 cases of histologically proven CCE in the English literature to define the clinical, laboratory, and pathologic characteristics of this disorder. CCE affected predominantly elderly males (mean age sixty-six) with a frequent history of hypertension (61%), atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (44%), renal failure (34%), and aortic aneurysms (25%) at presentation. At least one possible predisposing factor was present in 31% and included operative and radiological vascular procedures and the use of anticoagulants. Cutaneous findings (34%) and renal failure (50%) were two of the most common clinical findings throughout the course of CCE. The nonspecific signs and symptoms included: fever (7%), weight loss (7%), myalgias (4%), and headache (3%). Premortem diagnoses were established in 31% of patients most commonly by biopsy of the muscle, skin, and kidney. Mortality was high (81%) and was most commonly due to multifactorial, cardiac, and renal etiologies. The authors conclude that CCE should be strongly considered in elderly patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease who have the onset of renal insufficiency and cutaneous manifestations. CCE may be confirmed by a skin or muscle biopsy.
