Leriche syndrome is characterized by abdominal aorta and/or bilateral iliac occlusive disease, with a triad of clinical symptoms and signs such as claudication, erectile dysfunction, and decreased distal pulses. Diagnostic imaging is one of the key factors for diagnosis of the anatomic origin of the Leriche symptoms. We report the case of a 56-year-old man with diagnosis of abdominal aorta and bilateral iliac occlusive disease with a wide collateral vascular network., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest related to this article., (The Author(s).

Anastomotic aortic false aneurysm with consequent erosion of vertebral bodies is a very rare event that needs prompt treatment. We report the case of a 71-year-old man with an aortobifemoral graft that was complicated by an uninfected proximal anastomotic pseudoaneurysm with double focal vertebral body erosion., Competing Interests: None declared., (The Author(s).

Rupture of a popliteal artery aneurysm is an uncommon event in an uncommon disease. We present the case of an 88-year-old female with a ruptured popliteal artery aneurysm that was diagnosed by multidetector computed tomography and treated by an endovascular approach., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest related to this article., (The Author(s).

We report the case of a 73-year-old male who underwent abdominal multidetector computed tomography with vascular reconstruction that highlighted a congenital variant of iliac arteries. Iliac artery anatomical variants are exceedingly rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literature., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest related to this article., (The Author(s).

We report a case of a 45-year-old male suffering from arterial hypertension who was found to have an aortic coarctation with marked hypertrophic compensatory collateral arterial circulation. Although coarctation is relatively rare, this must be included in the differential diagnosis in patients with arterial hypertension with a positive gradient between upper and lower limbs., Competing Interests: The authors do not report any conflict of interest related to this article., (Thieme Medical Publishers 333 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10001, USA.)

We report a case of right renal artery originating from the thoracic aorta with normal position of the right kidney. Although this anomaly is rare, vascular, thoracic, and urological surgeons should be aware about this vascular variant before planning their surgical intervention., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest related to this article., (Thieme Medical Publishers 333 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10001, USA.)

This report describes a case of elderly patient with right iliac artery fissured pseudoaneurysm, leading to inferior vena cava arteriovenous fistula that was treated by covered stent device deployed at the level of the right iliac pathologic segment., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest related to this article., (Thieme Medical Publishers 333 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10001, USA.)

We present the case of a 78-year-old woman with a 4.5-cm symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm with a small diameter (13-mm diameter) infrarenal aortic neck who underwent endovascular treatment using an iliac branch device as a bifurcated aortic stent-graft.
