BACKGROUND During the last ten years we diagnosed two cases of venous aneurysm. The purpose of this report was to point out a certain risk of the thrombembolism of superficial venous aneurysms and to review our experience in the management of superficial and deep venous aneurysms. METHODS The presentation and management of these lesions were reviewed and discussed together with other cases fr...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Despite rapid advances in the development of materials and techniques for endovascular intracranial aneurysm treatment, occlusion of large broad-neck aneurysms remains a challenge. Animal models featuring complex aneurysm architecture are needed to test endovascular innovations and train interventionalists. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven adult female New Zealand rabbits w...

BACKGROUND The etiology of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) may pose a significant diagnostic challenge because truly reversible causes of DVT are rare. In this regard, known pelvic anatomic abnormalities such as aortic and iliac aneurysms should be seriously considered as a complicating factor in patients presenting with acute DVT so as not to miss a potentially curable etiology of May-Thurner syn...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To our knowledge, no reproducible animal model of a giant bifurcation type aneurysm has been described. It was our aim to develop a 1-stage and reproducible model of a venous pouch giant aneurysm in canines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine canines were involved. Bilateral CCAs were exposed. The left CCA was divided and its distal segment was swung to the right side. Using th...

Venous aneurysms are uncommon in the lower limb and are more frequently found in the neck and thoracic and visceral veins. However, they have been reported to cause thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism, and other related complications. Popliteal venous aneurysms are often undetected because they are usually asymptomatic, but they may cause pulmonary thromboembolic events. We experienced a case...

1 of 2 DESCRIPTION A 56-year-old man was referred to our clinic to investigate the chronic diarrhoea and weight loss. He was healthy until 3 months before admission. He gradually developed chronic small bowel-type diarrhoea. He was a retired man with no history of illness in the past. He never smoked. On physical examination, he was ill and wasted. There were pallor and a brown-pigmented, 5×3 c...
