  • Title: Peripheral pseudoaneurysm in active Behçet's disease: surgical and perioperative therapeutic strategies.
    Author: Honjo O, Yunoki K, Shichijo T, Oba O.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2006 Sep; 20(5):664-8. PubMed ID: 16732442.
    Abstract:
    Since aneurysms in patients with Behçet's disease are often pseudoaneurysmal and adjacent arteries are highly inflammatory, there is not only a risk of rupture but also a high incidence of late surgical complications at anastomotic sites. Furthermore, there is no consensus on perioperative medical therapeutic strategy in patients with active vasculo-Behçet's disease who require surgery. Herein, we present two cases of active Behçet's disease, a 51-year-old male with rupture of the left internal iliac artery who required emergent operation and a 31-year-old male with a rapidly developed pseudoaneurysm in the right superficial femoral artery. Surgical and perioperative therapeutic strategies are also discussed.
