Thoracoscopic and endovascular management of retained haemothoarx associated with an intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm.

چکیده
Intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm (IAP) is a rare entity and may complicate a percutaneous intervention through an intercostal space or follow thoracic trauma. Its rupture into the pleural space can give rise to haemothorax, which if untreated may lead to a retained haemothorax (RH). Traditionally both the IAP and the RH are managed by a thoracotomy. We report a patient who developed an IAP with haemothorax following a trauma. The diagnosis was established by computed tomography. The patient was treated by endovascular embolisation of the IAP followed by thoracoscopic decortications of the RH.

Post-sternotomy intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm. Sonographic diagnosis and thrombosis by ultrasound-guided percutaneous thrombin injection.
Intercostal artery pseudoaneurysms are extremely rare. We present a case of an intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm after median sternotomy that was treated by ultrasound-guided percutaneous thrombin injection. They are a potential source of complications, especially haemothorax, and treatment is mandatory. Different methods may be used for the confirmatory diagnosis of false aneurysms. Doppler ul...
متن کاملEndovascular and thoracoscopic treatment for post-lobectomy hemothorax.
A male patient underwent lobectomy and partial pleurectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). After 30 days, chest computed tomography discovered a hemothorax secondary to an intercostal artery leakage (Fig. 1). A thoracic aorta angiography revealed an intercostal pseudo-aneurysm treated successfully with embolization (Fig. 2(A) and (B)). We performed a successful thoracoscopic debridement.
متن کاملRepeated Surgery for Recurrent Pseudoaneurysms after Thoracoabdominal Aortic Replacement
Aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm formation in the aortic patch containing the intercostal or visceral arteries is an unusual late complication after thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. We report the case of a 58-year-old woman who had previously undergone thoracoabdominal aortic replacement (Crawford extent II) for dissecting aneurysm. About 12 months after the operation repeated pseudoaneurysmal degene...

Thoracoscopic sympathectomy is an acceptable form of treatment for palmar hyperhidrosis. Many authors have reported favourable results. Complications range from pneumo-haemothorax, Horner's syndrome, compensatory hyperhidrosis and bleeding. Plas et al reported 2.7% of the procedures had complications requiring intervention and 9.7% had non-interventive complications. There have been isolated re...

Background: Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the supratrochlear artery is a rare lesion. It manifests, as a painless mass, in the frontal region following trauma. The unusual incidence and confusing presentation require the clinicians to thoroughly understand its presentation and diagnosis. Diagnosis is typically made on history and physical examination, but it can be confirmed by duplex ultraso...
