    (2024) Gonzalez-Urquijo, Mauricio; Marchesini, Michelle; Marine, Leopoldo; Vargas, Jose Francisco; Bergoeing, Michel; Mertens, Renato; Valdes, Francisco
    Purpose To report a case of an asymptomatic patient with a pulmonary aneurysmal arterio-venous malformation successfully treated with a vascular plug.Case report An active 30-year-old male patient, residing at 3000 ft above sea level was referred due to an incidental finding on a CT scan of a 37 mm vascular mass localized in the lower lobe of the right lung, which corresponded to a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation with a single feeding artery. The patient was treated with an Amplatzer vascular plug, which effectively excluded the afferent vessel. An angio CT at 19 months follow-up revealed a hypodense residual mass of 9.0 mm in diameter with no arterial filling or venous drainage. The patient is fully active and remains asymptomatic at 24 months follow-up.Conclusion An unusual case of a pulmonary aneurysmal arteriovenous malformation successfully treated with a vascular plug is presented, highlighting the efficiency of this procedure.

    Stenting of innominate vein compression syndrome
    (2023) Marchesini, Michelle; Vargas, J. Francisco; Bergoeing, Michel P.; Marine, Leopoldo A.; Torrealba, Jose I.; Valdes, Francisco J.; Mertens, Renato A.
    We report the case of a 60-year-old woman who sought medical attention for left cervical and supraclavicular pain and swelling. Previous computed tomography, intravascular ultrasound, and venography studies were reviewed, confirming extrinsic compression of the left innominate vein by the left common carotid artery against the left clavicle head. Stenting of the lesion was performed, with good mid-term symptom relief and patency. It is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case study in the literature to report endovascular treatment of this syndrome. (J Vasc Surg Cases Innov Tech 2023;9:101290.)
