Pseudoaneurysms arise from a disruption in the arterial wall and blood dissecting into the tissues around the damaged artery creating a perfused sac that communicates with the arterial lumen. Trauma to the wall of the artery may lead to the development of a pseudoaneurysm. Post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm development is very rare in the peripheral artery and often is a consequence of venipuncture....

New endoscopic and endovascular therapies have revolutionised the management of complex traumatic visceral aneurysms. A pseudoaneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery following penetrating abdominal trauma was successfully managed by selective angiographic embolisation.

Traumatic lumbar artery injuries are quite uncommon, and arteriovenous fistula (AVF) lesions also rare. The clinical symptoms associated with AVF of the often vague non-specific can be masked by due to spinal cord injury. Therefore, missed if performance a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan is absent. In this article, we portrait case post-traumatic along pseudoaneurysm in 40-yea...

We describe a case of traumatic intra-sphenoidal right internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm lodged inside the fractured sphenoidal sinus that developed in a patient with a previous history of frontal and skull base fractures involving the sphenoid sinus and walls of the carotid canal, but with normal intracranial findings at early CT angiography. The patient presented two episodes of massive ...

Endovascular treatment has emerged as a less traumatic alternative treatment for several diseases of the thoracic aorta. However, the complications of the endovascular management of ascending aortic dissections are still high. We present a case of two iatrogenic complications after endovascular repair (EVAR) of type A (ascending) aortic dissection. Retrograde aortic dissection at the proximal p...

Hematuria resulting from urethral traumatic catheter insertion and removal is often encountered. Usually, hematuria resolves with conservative measures. We report a case of traumatic Foley removal leading to intermittent life-threatening hematuria resulting in blood loss anemia requiring multiple transfusions and multiple episodes of hypotension requiring pressors. A pelvic angiogram revealed a...

pseudoaneurysm is rare, and generally occurs after a penetrating trauma rather than after blunt trauma. A bypass graft and sacrifice of the involved carotid artery was originally the treatment of choice until the advent of endovascular method. Currently, a traumatic carotidjugular fistula can be treated using endovascular methods such as ballooning, coiling, stent-graft deployment and stent ass...

Lumbar artery pseudoaneurysms are infrequent complications of penetrating trauma. When present, they are often accompanied by other injuries; however, we report the case of an isolated traumatic lumbar artery aneurysm resulting from a single knife stab. The lesion was successfully treated with endovascular microcoil embolization. While these injuries are uncommon, the surgeon must maintain a hi...
