BACKGROUND Renal artery aneurysm is a rare disorder with a high mortality rate in the event of rupture, the most frequent complication, which can also occur in lesions smaller than those indicated for treatment by current criteria. Surgery is still the first-line treatment, although a growing trend toward endovascular management of visceral artery aneurysms has emerged because of the high effic...

Open repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is connected with high mortality and morbidity. On the other hand, endovascular treatment of thoraco-abdominal aneurysms, which started 10 years ago, reduced perioperative mortality and morbidity. However, it results in a high level of late complications. It seems that an interesting solution to the problem is a hybrid procedure, which allows late...

Introduction:Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is divided into two traumatic and non-traumatic categories. The present study sought to investigate the anatomical properties of non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage in Kerman, Iran. Method:A total of 305 non-traumatic ICH cases were chosen in Shafa medical center. Data from patients’ files and CT scan images, including demographic factors and type o...

Dear Editor,Abdominal aortic aneurysm is often asymptomatic, less recognized, and causes considerable mortality and morbidity, if missed. The incidence varies from country to country and the occurrence is influenced by modifiable (smoking, coronary heart disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and prolonged steroid therapy) and non-modifiable risk factors (increasing age, male gender, and positive...

Gastroduodenal artery (GDA) aneurysms are rare but a potentially fatal condition if rupture occurs. They represent about 1.5% of all visceral artery (VAA) aneurysms and are divided into true and pseudoaneurysms depending on the etiologic factors underlying their development. Atherosclerosis and pancreatitis are the two most common risk factors. Making the diagnosis can be complex and often requ...

We report a case of a large-diameter inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) that was associated with an occluded superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and a celiac artery (CA) that had significant stenosis in a 79-year-old man with a ruptured right common iliac artery aneurysm. Nonenhanced computed tomography (CT) was performed at another hospital to examine his sudden abdominal pain; it showed the ruptur...

Background: In thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair, repairing the visceral and segmental arteries is challenging. Although there a pre-hand-sewn multi-branched graft based on conventional image-based technique, it has shortcomings in precisely positioning directing arteries. Methods: We introduce two new reconstruction techniques using patient-specific 3D-printed guides: 1) model-based t...

superior mesenteric artery (sma) aneurysm is a rare disease. in this case report, we present a 32 years old woman who was admitted to our hospital with chronic abdominal pain. sma aneurysm was diagnosed after radiological evaluation. the patient underwent ligation of the superior mesenteric artery aneurysm and remained well 12 months after the surgery.

conclusions this case indicates that delineation of coronary artery anatomy in atypical congenital giant right atrial aneurysm is of vital importance. closure of the aneurysmal sac, instead of aneurysmal resection, is a safer and more simple approach in atypical cases. case presentation this is a report on a 3.5-month-old male infant with imperforated anus and an unusual-shaped congenital giant...
