We decribe the CT findings in a case of mediastinal hemangioma. Precontrast enhanced CT demonstrated a homogeneous soft tissue mass with weveral nodular calcifications indicating phleboliths. Contrast enhanced CT revealed some areas of enhancement similar to that of adjacent vascular structures. Hemangiomas of the mediastinum, although rare, should be included in the differential diagnosis of enhancing mediastinal masses.

Pulmonary embolism and venous ischemia are acute complications of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities. Delayed complications include a spectrum of debilitating symptoms referred to as postthrombotic syndrome (PST). Because the early symptoms and patient signs are nonspecific for DVT, careful history taking and radiological evaluation of the extent and migration of thrombus should be used to establish an objective diagnosis and the need for treatment. Anticoagulation therapy is recognized as the mainstay treatment in acute DVT. However, there are few data to suggest any major beneficial effect of the early clearing of massive DVT and PTS. Endovascular, catheter-directed, thrombolysis techniques, used alone or in combination with mechanical thrombectomy devices, have been proven to be highly effective in clearing acute DVT, which may allow the preservation of venous valve function and the prevention of subsequent venous occlusive disease. Definitive management of the underlying anatomic occlusive abnormalities should also be undertaken.

Renovascular hypertension secondary to renal artery vascular disease is the most common form of surgically correctable hypertension. The common causes of renovascular hypertension are atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia, and Takayasu arteritis. Takayasu arteritis is a chronic nonspecific arteritis of unkown cause that is relatively prevalant in young female subjects. It has been well known that the pathologic feature of the disease consist predominantly of occulsive changes in the aorta and the origin of its major branches. The most important pathogenetic mechanism of hypertension seems to be through renal artery stenosis. We have experimented three hypertensive patients with Takayasu arteritis experienced. Basic diagnosis was established by angiographic study. This article presents surgical treatment methods of Takayasu arteritis with renovascular hypertension and brief review of literatures.
