A suprasternal false aneurysm caused by posttraumatic innominate artery rupture after dissection type A repair.

False Aneurysm of the Common Femoral Artery in an Infant after a Phlebotomy

False Aneurysms are uncommon in the pediatric population. We report a case of false aneurysm of the common femoral artery (CFA) after accidental arterial puncture, during a phlebotomy for blood sample. The lesion was surgically resected and arterial continuity restored by end to end anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Transplant renal artery false aneurysm

The transplant renal artery false aneurysm is a rare event but can be fatal. We report the case of a patient with a false aneurysm, which appeared 6 years after transplantation. The clinical presentation was an increase of the creatinine value and de novo graft hydronephrosis. The first ultrasound performed showed no aneurysm, leaving doubt whether this would not have been caused iatrogenically...

Iatrogenic false aneurysm following repair of intracranial aneurysm.

False aneurysm of the intracranial arteries occurs infrequently as a complication of head injury and rarely as a consequence of other pathology. A case of false aneurysm of the supraclinoid internal carotid artery following minor intraoperative injury during clipping of a basilar-superior cerebellar aneurysm by the pterional approach is described. False aneurysm is a potential cause of recurren...

True posttraumatic aneurysm of the temporal artery

Posttraumatic aneurysms of the temporal artery are rare events and are generally pseudoaneurysms. Since the most frequent cause is blunt injury, all patients with a pulsating nodule in the region of the temporal artery should be investigated. This patient presented with a pulsating protuberance in the right frontal area with onset 4 months previously after being hit by a falling sharp object. D...
