A neobladder-arterial fistula is a very rare complication following cystectomy, with only 1 previously reported case. Delay in diagnosis can be rapidly fatal and requires prompt intervention. We report the case of a 63-year-old male who developed massive hematuria, and was found to have a fistula between the right external iliac artery and Studer neobladder during emergent exploratory laparotomy. Treatment success relies on a high index of suspicion and may include open operative intervention.

We present a case of a patient with a failed pancreaticoduodenal allograft with exocrine enteric-drainage who developed catastrophic gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage. Over the course of a week, she presented with recurrent GI bleeds of obscure etiology. Multiple esophago-gastro-duodenoscopic (EGD) and colonoscopic evaluations failed to reveal the source of the hemorrhage. A capsule endoscopy and a technetium-labeled red blood cells (RBC) imaging study were similarly unrevealing for source of bleeding. She subsequently developed hemorrhagic shock requiring emergent superior mesenteric arteriography. Run off images revealed an external iliac artery aneurysm with fistulization into the jejunum. Coiled embolization was attempted but abandoned because of hemodynamic instability. Deployment of a covered endovascular stent into the right external iliac artery over the fistula site resulted in immediate hemodynamic stabilization. A high index of suspicion for arterioenteric fistulae is needed for diagnosis of this uncommon but eminently treatable form of GI hemorrhage in this patient population.

Arterio-ureteral fistulas are relatively rare, but a potentially life-threatening condition because of the possible massive bleeding. An 82-year-old woman with a history of hysterectomy and irradiation for uterine cancer was treated with ureteric stents for recurrent bilateral ureteral stenosis. During the adjustments of the stent, removing the right ureteric stent immediately resulted in massive hematuria. Computed tomography showed that the right ureter coursed above and seemed to be connected to the right external iliac artery. From the clinical history and computed tomography findings, an arterio-ureteral fistula between the right external iliac artery and right ureter was strongly suspected. The GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Stent Graft was deployed from the common iliac artery to the external iliac artery via a 7-French femoral system, followed by post-dilatation. The patient did not develop any complications or recurrence of hematuria after the procedure during the 11-month follow-up. The VBX is a useful device, with a low- profile device and a size-adjustable balloon-expandable stent that depended on the individual vessel size for post-dilatation. However, there are several concerns, such as risk of infection, stent thrombosis/stenosis, and chronic outcome while using stent grafts for treatment. Patients with arterio-ureteral fistulas who were treated using stent grafts should be carefully followed up.

In a Richter’s hernia, only part of the anti-mesenteric border of the bowel is incarcerated within the underlying defect. We report three cases presenting between 18 days and 11 years following proctectomy. As all patients had functioning stomas a high index of suspicion is necessary to avoid a delay in diagnosis.

Minimally invasive treatment of varicose veins is becoming increasingly popular with both patients and physicians. Endovenous laser therapy has been shown to be safe and effective but the rare complication of iatrogenic creation of arteriovenous fistulas has been described. One case of fistulation between the external iliac artery and vein has been published. We report two further cases and describe their management.

Eglė Zakarauskaitė, Raimundas LunevičiusVilniaus universitetas, Gastroenterologijos, chirurgijos ir nefrourologijos klinikosBendrosios chirurgijos centras, Vilniaus universitetinė greitosios pagalbos ligoninė,Šiltnamių g. 29, LT-04130 VilniusEl paštas: [email protected] Tikslas Aprašyti ir įvertinti visišką klubinės žarnos galinės dalies obstrukcinį nepraeinamumą dėl jos užspaudimo atipinės padėties kirmėlinės ataugos kilpa suaugusiam pacientui. Klinikinis atvejis Ligonis B. A., 71 metų, dėl sąrėmių pobūdžio skausmų visame pilvo plote, pilvo pūtimo ir pykinimo skubos tvarka hospitalizuotas į pilvo chirurgijos skyrių. Pacientas anksčiau nė karto nebuvo operuotas. Objektyvaus tyrimo rezultatai: pilvas išsipūtęs, skausmingas, maksimalaus skausmingumo ir pilvaplėvės dirginimo vieta – dešinioji klubinė sritis, auskultuojant žarnyną girdėti kliūtinė peristaltika. Apžvalginėje pilvo rentgenogramoje matyti daug Kloiberio dubenėlių išsipūtusioje plonojoje žarnoje. Diagnozavus konservatyviam gydymui atsparų visišką mechaninį žarnyno nepraeinamumą, atlikta vidurinė laparotomija. Operaciniai radiniai: stipriai išsipūtusi, iki galinės dalies perpildyta skysčių ir dujų plonoji žarna. Priežastis – apie galinę klubinės žarnos dalį kilpa apsisukusi, ją visiškai užspaudusi ir prie jos priekinės dalies pasaito prisitvirtinusi kirmėlinė atauga. Atlikta apendektomija, plonoji žarna intubuota peroraliniu enterodekompresiniu zondu. Kirmėlinės ataugos histologiniu tyrimu nustatyti antrinio uždegimo požymiai: paviršinis apendicitas ir hemoraginis periapendicitas. Pooperacinis laikotarpis buvo sklandus. Išvada Šis klinikinis atvejis patvirtina, jog galima labai reta komplikacija dėl atipinės kirmėlinės ataugos padėties: klubinės žarnos galinės dalies obstrukcinis užspaudimas kirmėlinės ataugos kilpa. Pagrindiniai žodžiai: apendiksas, atipinė padėtis, klubinės žarnos obstrukcija Strangulated terminal ileal obstruction due to closed-loop appendix Eglė Zakarauskaitė, Raimundas LunevičiusVilnius University, General Surgery Center of Clinic of Gastroenterology,Nephrourology and Surgery, Vilnius University Emergency Hospital,Šiltnamių str. 29, LT-04130 Vilnius, LithuaniaE-mail: [email protected] Objective To describe and estimate a strangulated (by atypical appendix) closed-loop obstruction of the terminal ileum in an adult. Case report 71-year-old male was admitted because of crampy abdominal pain associated with nausea. There was no history of previous intraabdominal operations. On examination, the patient had obvious abdominal distention with peritoneal signs localized in the right iliocecal region. Bowel sounds were decreased. X-ray films showed multiple air fluid levels in the small intestine. Small-bowel obstruction was diagnosed and exploratory laparotomy was performed. The small intestine was heavily dilatated, overflowed by fluids and air because of a vermiform appendix wrapped around the terminal ileum and its mesenterium, and by its tip adhered to the ileocecal recessus. An appendectomy was performed, the small bowel was intubated using an enterodecompressive probe. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of secondary superficial appendicitis and hemorrhagic periappendicitis. The convalescence was not delayed. There were no postoperative complications. Conclusions This clinical report shows an unusual but possible very rare complication of atypically located appendix in an adult: a strangulated closed-loop obstruction of the terminal ileum. Key words: appendix, atypical positioning, acute ileal obstruction
