Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAA) account for nearly one fifth of all visceral artery aneurysms [1]. The incidence of hepatic artery aneurysm has been on the rise due to the increasing numbers of imaging studies and hepatobiliary procedures being performed. The classical presentation of Quincke’s triad, comprising abdominal pain, obstructive jaundice and hemobilia, has been reported in only one th...

We have witnessed an evolution in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) from open to endovascular repair. The implications that these changes had on outcomes, not been thoroughly studied. evaluated trends volume and AAA repairs done nationwide a recent 20-year period, outcomes associated with each type repair, assess how may changed over this period. Patients undergoing elective repa...

While superficial temporal artery (STA) vasculitis is typically a disease of the elderly, spontaneous STA aneurysm in children is anecdotic and usually caused by a subjacent vasculitis. Since 1948 around 40 cases have been listed in literature and just 6 of them under the age of 18. Three main forms have been classified: juvenile temporal arteritis, typical giant cells arteritis and temporal ar...

A true aneurysm is defined as an enlargement of an artery resulting in a diameter more than 1.5 times the anatomic size. It can be fusiform when it covers the entire perimeter of the vessel, or saccular when it bulges on one side of the artery. The pseudoaneurysm is a pulsating encapsulated haematoma in communication with the lumen of the ruptured vessel,which affects the the intima and the med...

Isolated bilateral internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysm is a rare and potentially lethal disease. Endovascular repair of this disorder is a matter of debate. A symptomatic 68-year-old male presented with severe pelvic pains. Computed tomography revealed a leaking 46-mm aneurysm in the right IIA, a 27-mm aneurysm in the left IIA, and ectatic changes at a diameter of 31 mm in the right common ili...

Background and Aim: In-hospital rebleeding and early aneurysm rupture are major causes of mortality and morbidity in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Rebleeding may occur at the referring hospital, during transfer or at the referral neurovascular center prior to surgical or endovascular treatment. However, there has been no report regarding the rate of in-hospital rebleeding and early aneury...

In the present report, we describe a case of a patient with an asymptomatic aneurysm in the arc of Bühler (AOB), which was successfully treated by transcatheter arterial embolization. The patient presented with severe stenosis of the celiac trunk, which was suspected to be due to median arcuate ligament syndrome. Arteriography of the superior mesenteric artery indicated a rapid stream in an ane...

W ith medical advances, mortality and morbidity rates associated with myocardial infarction (MI) have declined dramatically (1). Nevertheless, cardiogenic shock is the most common cause of death after an acute MI, followed by left ventricular (LV) rupture (2). A pseudoaneurysm, albeit rare (3), is more likely to rupture than is a true aneurysm and thus is a post-MI complication that warrants ur...

RATIONALE Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is the most common visceral artery aneurysm, while most SAAs are treated by endovascular or open procedures. PATIENT CONCERNS Here we present a case of SAA treated by laparoscopic aneurysmectomy with end-to-end anastomosis. DIAGNOSES A 40-year-old woman was incidentally found to have an asymptomatic distal SAA. CT scan revealed the SAA to be located a...
