A primary aortocaval fistula (ACF) is present in less than 1% of all abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The case of a 62-year-old patient with a ruptured AAA and ACF was reported. A stent-graft was implanted into the abdominal aorta. An inferior vena cava filter was inserted to prevent pulmonary embolism. The patient made a smooth recovery. The follow-up computed tomographic scan three months later did not reveal any evidence of endoleaks or that the fistula was still present. Hemodynamic changes with regard to transient acute liver impairment were discovered (renal and liver parameters were presented). Endovascular exclusion appears to be an effective option in the treatment of an aortocaval fistula in comparison to conventional open repair.

Tomographic Angiography

This is the case of a twenty-two-year-old active duty male soldier with nonexertional chest pain and worsening performance on his physical fitness test. His history was significant for a diagnosis of dextrocardia upon entry to the military. On acute presentation to the emergency department, he was deemed a candidate for the expedited coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) protocol to assess for a possible anatomic cause of his symptoms. CCTA revealed the presence of an anomalous right pulmonary vein draining into the inferior vena cava. Additionally, the imaging showed dextroversion of the heart, dilation of the inferior vena cava, right atrium, and right ventricle, as well as a hypoplastic right lung, a collection of findings consistent with scimitar syndrome and not dextrocardia.

Neuroectodermal Tumour

Primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) of kidney is a rare cancer typical of young adults with few cases described in the literature. We report a case of renal PNET in a 31-year-old man who presented to our department with a computed tomographic (CT)-scan revealing a large renal mass of 20 cm, massive thrombosis of the inferior vena cava (IVC). The patient underwent radical nephrectomy with contextual retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy and resection of IVC needing Dacron prosthesis substitution. Definitive histopathological examination showed PNET of kidney infiltrating ipsilateral adrenal gland, massive cava thrombosis with infiltration of vena cava wall and one lymph nodal metastasis. Postoperative PET-scan showed metastatic lesions in bilateral adrenal glands and pancreas. The patient received chemotherapy, and currently, he is in follow-up after 26 months from first diagnosis without any sign of recurrence of disease. Kidney PNET usually is associated with poor prognosis, so, it needs an early identification and differentiation from other similar small cells tumours in order to obtain a good response to the treatments.
