BACKGROUND Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening disease, and multiple BAAs are even rarer. Clinically, the tortuous and short neck of a BAA may present significant challenges for invasive intervention. METHODS This report describes the detailed process of diagnosis and treatment and includes a literature review of the etiology, clinical presentation,...

In this study, the aim was to investigate the anatomy of the aortic arch arteries in mole-rats (Spalax leucodon). Six adult mole-rats were used for this purpose. Coloured latex was injected into the left ventriculus of the hearts of all animals. The materials were carefully dissected and the arterial patterns of arteries originating from the aortic arch were examined. The brachiocephalic trunk,...

Presented here is a 47-year-old man for whom right central venous chemoport catheterization was performed without radiological guidance. Within 8 days, the catheter became nonfunctional and non-contrasted thoracic CT was performed to trace its course. The tip of the catheter appeared to have perforated the opposite wall of the ipsilateral brachiocephalic vein and entered the adjacent brachiocep...

A 21-year-old man suffered a closed chest injury on 6 August 1977 in a motor accident. On admission to the intensive care unit of an out-oftown hospital the patient showed some clinical signs of shock: his blood pressure was 85/65 mmHg and the pulse rate 112 and regular. He was conscious but disorientated and complained of severe retrosternal chest pain. There were no abnormal neurological sign...

BACKGROUND Supraaortic branches limit extended application of endovascular aortic repair. For this purpose, we applied extensive reconstructions. METHODS Between October 2002 and March 2005, 11 patients (mean age 72.3 years) presented with acute or chronic aortic diseases originating from the aortic arch (arch aneurysms n=8, type B dissections n=3). Treatment was by autologous sequential tran...
