MR angio- graphy of the aorta showed a 90 £ 67 £ 58 mm saccular AAA (Fig. 1) and her contrast-enhanced CAT scan revealed this mass to be a pseudoaneur- ysm at the distal anastomotic site of the patch. Abdominal ultrasonography and color doppler study had revealed no signs of abdominal vascular pathology earlier in 2002.

This is a case report of a 36-year-old male with Behcet’s disease (BD) whose bilateral extracranial carotid arteries were involved. Computed tomography angiography showed a large ruptured pseudo-aneurysm of the left common carotid artery, and complete occlusion of the right one. The pseudo-aneurysm was excised and the left common carotid artery was...
Background: Behcet's disease (BD) is a form of systematic vasculitis that affects vessels of various sizes anywhere in the body. Aortic pseudoaneurysm is the most hazardous lesion in Behcet's disease (BD) and is associated with high mortality rates once rupture.
Case presentation: In this report, we present a patient with known history of Behcet's...

Behcet's disease is a form of systematic vasculitis that affects vessels of various sizes. Aortic pseudoaneurysm is one of the most important causes of death among patients with Behcet's disease due to its high risk of rupture and associated mortality. Our study aimed to investigate the outcomes of Behcet's disease patients with aorti...
In Behçet's disease (BD) patients, endovascular repair is a reasonable alternative treatment for aortic aneurysms to avoid postoperative anastomotic pseudoaneurysms. However, there are some complications that may occur after endovascular repair. We herein report the case of a 40-year-old man with active BD developed recurrent aortic pseudoaneurysms...
Behçet’s disease is an inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, uveitis and skin lesions. Arterial involvement is rare, but when present aneurysmal degeneration is more common than occlusive disease. This report describes the clinical case of a female patient who had been receiving treatment for Behçet’s disease for...

... Vascular involvement in Behçet's disease (BD) is rare, but may be a major determinant in the clinical picture with a possible increase in morbidity and mortality. Surgery has been reported to yield poor results and a focal repair procedure often results in early to late complications (1,2) . In this report, we present our experience with a rare complication following surgical repair of a right external iliac artery aneurysm in a patient with Behçet's disease. ...

Vascular involvement in Behcet's disease is rare, but may be at the forefront of the clinical picture with possible life-threatening scenarios. We reviewed our preliminary results with endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic pathologies in Behçet's disease.
Data regarding seven patients with abdominal aortic pathologies (aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, and aortoenteric fistula) and Behçet's disease were treated with endovascular stent-grafting between 2002 and 2006.
Seven patients (aged, 39.1 ± 9; range, 27-52 years) with a mean aortic diameter of 58.4 ± 6.3 mm received endovascular stent-grafts, two patients being in emergency settings. Two patients were in active disease state. Four tube-shaped, two aorto-bi-iliac, and one aorto-uni-iliac stents were implanted. One patient expired on day 28 with multiorgan failure after emergency stent-grafting owing to enlarging periprosthetic hematoma following open surgery for ruptured aneurysm. Another patient was declined for endovascular therapy owing to hypoplastic aortoiliac vasculature.
Endovascular approach provides a reasonable alternative to open repair for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms in select cases; however, in emergency settings, endovascular repair may well have an important, but limited, role in select patients with aortoenteric fistulae, it may yet require a surgical intervention.
