INTRODUCTION We report a case of an emergency high-risk patient with a pararenal aortic aneurysm. REPORT Our patient had a pararenal aneurysm with two components: a wide-neck saccular aneurysm below the left renal artery and a fusiform aneurysm. A self-expandable aortic stent was deployed covering both renal arteries, the saccular aneurysm was embolised with microcoils and a bifurcated aortic...

Amplatzer septal occluder devices (AGA Medical Corporation, Plymouth, MN) have been used in the treatment of saccular and aortic false aneurysms.1,2 We have reservations about the long-term reliability of this approach. A 62-year-old man, who was a heavy smoker and had arteriopathy, was under regular surveillance for chronic obstructive airways disease and bullous emphysema. He had previously u...

Methods A 61 years old man with abdominal endovascular aortic stent-graft inserted previously, had a saccular aneurysm of descending aorta distal to left subclavian artery and a small dissection flap with saccular aneurysm originating from left subclavian artery. Since the patient refused to have any surgical procedure for left subclavian artery revascularisation, thoracic aortic-stenting for d...

Convergence between semicircular canal and otolith nerves on single vestibulo-ocular and vestibulospinal neurons of the decerebrate cat 2.Author We examined whether otolith-activated second-and third-order vestibular nucleus neurons received commissural inhibition from the contralateral otolithic macula oriented in the same geometric plane. For this purpose we have studied intracellular recordi...

A CT scan demonstrated a subarachnoid hemorrhage. A followup four-vessel cerebral angiogram demonstrated bilateral anomalous ACAs, with the origin at the level of the ophthalmic artery proximal to the posterior communicating and anterior choroidal arteries. The proximal portion of each ectopic proximal segment was horizontal , suggesting that both ACAs coursed below the optic nerves (Figs . 1 A...

Aneurysm of the descending aorta associated with CoA is an extremely rare congenital abnormality. In this report, we present a 16 months old female patient in whom cardiac catheterization had been performed which had revealed a segment of coarctation and saccular aneurysm in the descending aorta. The patient was operated and a 3x2 centimeters aneurysm which embraces the coarcted segment in desc...

The rapid development of a saccular aneurysm during successfully treated bacterial endocarditis, in an ascending aorta previously affected by syphilis which had been treated with adequate chemotherapy 15 years previously, is described.
