A 59-year-old man developed a fast-growing mycotic innominate artery pseudoaneurysm complicating medically-treated mitral endocarditis caused by methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus. The pseudoaneurysm was revealed by ultrasound of the supra-aortic trunks and confirmed by magnetic resonance angiography (Fig. 1). The surgical treatment was performed with resection of the pseudoaneurysm ...

Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon yet fatal clinical entity. Its presentation can mimic a number of common diseases and can be easily missed. As pseudoaneurysm is associated with a number of fatal complications, clinicians should be aware of imaging features which distinguishes pseudoaneurysms from its close differentials. Early recognition and treatment of pseudoaneurysm can preve...

BACKGROUND Femoral artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication but with increasing frequency nowadays due to the advances of endovascular intervention. Rare cases of brachial or popliteal artery pseudoaneurysms had ever been reported and the predictive factors of failed ultrasound-guided compression repair (UGCR) are controversial. METHODS During the past 8 years, 21 patients (12 males and n...

A case of pseudoaneurysm of right radial artery following transradial coronary angiography is reported. Adequate hemostasis is the key to prevention. Prolonged ultrasonography guided compression of neck of pseudoaneurysm or injection of procoagulants in the cavity of pseudoaneurysm can help non surgical closure.

Manuscript received June 25, 2015; revised manuscript received July 16, 201 a giant right coronary artery (RCA) pseudoaneurysm (4.4 4.5 cm) (Figure 1A). Coronary angiography revealed a large pseudoaneurysm in the RCA with 90% stenosis (Figure 2A, Online Video 1). This coronary pseudoaneurysm may have been spontaneous. Treatment options included resection with bypass grafting, coil embolization,...

A 70-year-old woman with a history of end-stage renal disease secondary to anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated vasculitis had been receiving hemodialysis for 5 years. The patient underwent attempted right internal jugular vein cannulation for temporary hemodialysis catheter placement. Pulsating mass developed in the neck and angiography revealed a subclavian artery pseudoaneurys...

Pseudoaneurysm of the superior gluteal artery (SGA) is very rare and the most common causes are blunt or penetrating pelvic traumas. Although pseudoaneurysm can be asymptomatic at the time of initial trauma, it can be symptomatic weeks, months, even years after initial trauma. We present a case of a ruptured superior gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm with hemorrhagic shock twenty days after a bomb ...

This report describes the use of transluminal endovascular grafting for the treatment of a presumed aortoduodenal fistula. The patient was a 71-year-old man who had undergone resection and graft replacement for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Three years after operation, melena was caused by perforation of the duodenal wall by a pseudoaneurysm at the proximal graft anastomosis. The pseudoaneurysm...

Carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition, particularly in the paediatric population. Only about 30 cases of carotid artery aneurysms in infants have been published until now. This paper reports the case of a giant pseudoaneurysm of the left common carotid artery due to swallowed fish bone by an 8-year-old boy. This pseudoaneurysm was 5.5 cm transverse-diameter and resulted in severe re...

Mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the subclavian artery is uncommon and its therapeutic strategy has not been established. We report a case of 81-year-old woman with mycotic pseudoaneurysm in the right subclavian artery. Blood culture showed Enterobacter cloacae. Because of hemoptysis and acute expansion of the pseudoaneurysm, emergent coil embolization was performed, but failed. The patient underwent ...
