[Intracardiac migration of the ureteral single-J : A case report and removal techniques]. / Migration intracardiaque de la sonde urétérale mono J : à propos d'un cas et techniques de retrait.

The techniques of derivation of the high urinary tract are indispensable in common practice for the management of ureteral obstructions. Like any surgical gesture, its techniques are not without complications; Among those common are hematuria, urinary incontinence, migration in the bladder and rupture of the probe. However, intracardiac probe migration has rarely been described. We report the case of a 68-year-old patient treated for cervical cancer who benefited from the rise of a bilateral single-J probe, admitted for accidental migration of the left probe into the heart. The diagnosis was made by plain abdominal X-ray and confirmed by thoraco-abdominal CT angiography. The patient benefited, in the catheterization room, from a withdrawal of the probe by endoscopic way and under radioscopic control successfully and without any incident.

[Tuberculosis aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta treated by covered stent graft : A case report]. / Anévrisme tuberculeux de l'aorte thoracique descendante traité par endoprothèse : à propos d'un cas.

Tuberculous aneurysm is a rare but lethal disease. It preferentially affects the aorta. The contamination occurs either secondarily to a tuberculosis site in contact with the aorta or by blood contamination. It presents an increased and unpredictable risk of rupture, hence the interest of urgent diagnostic and therapeutic management. His treatment was long based on surgery, but currently the endovascular approach is increasingly used. The treatment, whatever its type, will always be associated with a medical treatment for tuberculosis. We report the case of a patient with a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm considered tuberculous on the basis of epidemiological, clinical and biological arguments; who was treated by deployment of an endoprosthesis with good clinical and radiological evolution.

[Iatrogenic carotid-jugular arterio-venous fistula: a rare complication associated with jugular venous catheterization (a case report)]. / Fistule artério-veineuse iatrogène carotido-jugulaire: une complication rare du cathétérisme de la veine jugulaire (à propos d'un cas).

Catheterization of the internal jugular vein is widely performed by both nephrologists and surgeons. It has become a routine procedure, but can be associated with serious complications. Carotid-jugular arterio-venous fistula (CJAVF) is a rare but potentially fatal complication. Very few cases have been reported in the literature. This study involved a patient with iatrogenic CJAVF following hemodialysis catheter placement performed three weeks earlier. The diagnosis was clinically suspected based on the discovery of laterocervical thrill and confirmed by echo-Doppler and angiography. The patient underwent successful open surgery. Operator experience and trainees support, in addition to the use of ultrasound guidance, can significantly reduce the occurrence of complications during jugular venous catheterization.
