A rare case of a 56-year-old man with posttraumatic false aneurysm of the right subclavian artery is presented. He was admitted to hospital due to pain in the shoulder. The diagnosis was made upon ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) results. With ultrasound guidance, the aneurysm was punctured and injected with bovine thrombin (Biotrombina 400u, Biomed). During the injection, the aneur...

Two months after a gunshot wound to the head of a 12-year-old boy, MR imaging outlined an asymptomatic false aneurysm of the carotid artery. The scan's ability to image in multiple planes with noninvasive visualization of pulsatile vessel flow suggests its use for follow-up examinations of traumatic injuries to the head or neck.

A n 82-year old women presented with a non– ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. She had undergone coronary bypass surgery 25 years earlier, and a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) 28 months previously. The TAVR procedure was reported to be complicated only by vascular access problems. Urgent coronary angiography at time of the current presentation showed stenosis in a saphen...

False aneurysm or pseudo aneurysm of an artery in close proximity to fractured bone is a well-recognized entity, and fewer various cases, involving different sites have been reported in the literature. We report new case of a Moroccan's patient who had 10-year-old boy presented with a right non displaced both-bone forearm fracture; the patient was placed in a long arm splint. After, six weeks, ...

This is a case report of a 59 years old male who had a commercial non-related living renal transplantation for his end stage renal insufficiency secondary to adult polycystic kidney disease. He suffered an immediate and early post-operative bleeding, which was managed conservatively. He was presented at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital four months after his transplant with abdominal pain, naus...

over a seven year period from 1982 to 1989,3337 conduits were created in 3137 patients with end stage renal disease (esrd) as access for chronic dialysis. these included 2690 side-to-side arteriovenous fistulae (a vf), 168 end-to-side a vfs, 10 autogenous vein grafts, 51 homogenous frozen vein grafts, 109 polytetrafluoroethylene (ptfe) grafts, 209 emergency external arteriovenous shunts, three ...

Anastomotic pseudoaneurysm remains one of the main life-threatening complications after surgery on the thoracic aorta. We report a case with a history of ascending and aortic arch replacement and a false aneurysm creation at the anastomotic line found at the 2-year follow-up computed tomography. Either, due to incidental and asymptomatic finding and patient negation to any kind of intervention,...

Background: Tiny false intracranial rupture aneurysms are particularly rare. It is challenged both to neurosurgery and endovascular treatment. Methods: We present here five rare cases of perforator tiny aneurysms that were diagnosed based on DSA. These patients were found due to SAH, and they decided to treat these aneurysms with endovascular therapy. After numerous attempts, the coiling microc...

Brachytherapy: True or False? To the Editor: We read with great interest the article about the mechanism of action of endovascular brachytherapy after balloon angioplasty published by Sabaté et al.1 Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging provides an extremely effective means of examining vessel changes after interventions and it seems to be critical in the objective evaluation of radiation the...
