Symptomatic stenosis of the left renal vein in preaortic position is consequence of compression of a. mesenterica superior to the aorta, and in retroaortic position, by compresion of aorta to the spine. Symptoms arise from hypertension in left renal vein. Our patient had pains in pelvis and in the left lumbal region for two years, and recidivant hematuria. Hematuria in left urether was diagnosed with cystoscopy. Color Doppler and CT angiography showed diametar of left renal vein retroaortic of 2 mm, and in proximal part of 14 mm. We decided for surgery and underwnt preaortic transposition of left renal vein preaortic with interposition of autovenous panel vein graft of v.saphena magna. Our patient is without any simptoms after operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a set of general and gastrointestinal disorders of intestinal obstruction due to high compression of the horizontal part of the duodenum by the superior mesenteric artery and aorta. Diagnosis is difficult. Along with conservative treatment, surgical treatment is the gastrojejunal or duodenal and jejunal anastomosis, or resection of the ligamentum Treitz, as well as relaxation, mobilization and rotation of the duodenal and jejunal transition, with or without duodenal and jejunal anastomosis. The literature describes a small number of cases with surgical treatment. The prevalence is 0,013% to about 0,78% of all radiographic findings in patients with gastrointestinal complaints. We had a female patient with chronical, high intestinal obstruction, and angiographic findings of the horizontal compression of the duodenum of the superior mesenteric artery and aorta, and she was treated with medications and surgery, resection of the ligament of Treitz, mobilization, transposition and dista rotation of the duodenal and jejuna circuit. There was a significant improvement in the postoperative period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aneurysmal vein graft disease is rare; according to literature there are fewer than 200 cases in the world. It can occur anywhere but most commonly in the popliteal region. Most patients had hyperlipidemia and hypertension. It is complicated by the rupture, thrombosis and acute ischemia. The study showed that 8 patients had atherosclerotic changes, and 4 non- atherosclerotic changes. The early follow up to 30 days was 100% of gtraft patency. Postoperative evaluation and adequate disclosure of aneurysmal disease of the venous graft is crucial for the success of surgical treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
