Pseudoaneurysm of the internal iliac artery is a rare occurrence. Our patient presented with pain over the lower abdomen which also radiated to the back. An Angiogram of the aorta and the iliac arteries showed a pseudoaneurysm of the right internal iliac artery which measured about 8 x 8 cm with a proximal branch of the internal iliac artery distended. Initial efforts of trying to embolize the ...

Pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery (STA) is a rare clinical entity that has been linked with traumatic causes. Neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1) an autosomal dominant disorder known but uncommon vascular abnormalities comprise stenoses, occlusions, aneurysms, fistulas and arteriovenous malformations. We presented 46-year-old man features NF-1 (e.g., café au lait spots, skin neurofi...

Spontaneous pseudoaneurysm regression is a rare event. In particular, the spontaneous regression of a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm has, to our knowledge, been previously documented in only two case reports. Furthermore, the pathophysiological mechanism of this event remains unclear. However, it is fully known that this vascular complication is potentially life-threatening and presents a high m...

Introduction. Behçet's disease (BD) is a form of vasculitis of unknown etiology which is rare in our environment. It is characterized by a variety of clinical manifestations and usually affects young adults. Recurrent oral and genital ulcers are a characteristic and extremely frequent symptom, but mortality is linked with more significant symptoms such as aortic pseudoaneurysm, pulmonary pseudo...

BACKGROUND Arterial damage is a known complication of brucellosis, but the occurrence of a thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm secondary to brucellosis has not been previously reported. CASE PRESENTATION A 65-year-old Chinese man presented with a pseudoaneurysm in the descending segment of the thoracic aorta that caused symptoms of chest pain and intermittent fever. He was diagnosed with a thoraci...

Traumatic pseudoaneurysm is usually located at the aortic isthmus. We undertook surgical repair of a traumatic pseudoaneurysm located at the distal part of the descending aorta.

rysms form when cardiac rupture is contained by adherent pericardium or scar tissue. Thus, unlike a true LV aneurysm, an LV pseudoaneurysm contains no endocardium or myocardium. Free intrapericardial rupture usually results in cardiac tamponade and death. Less frequently, cardiac rupture is contained and LV pseudoaneurysm formation occurs. The most common aetiology of LV pseudoaneurysm is myoca...

OBJECTIVE To determine the risk factors, clinical characteristics, surgical management and outcome of pseudoaneurysm secondary to iatrogenic or traumatic vascular injury. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study being performed in department of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery skims soura during a 4-year period. We included all the patients referring to our center with primary diagnosis of...

BACKGROUND Pseudoaneurysm occurring after catheterization of the femoral artery is associated with significant morbidity. Percutaneous ultrasound-guided thrombin injection has recently emerged as a potential first-line therapy. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of this treatment in eight patients with iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysm. METHODS After attempted treatment with externa...

We discuss a patient with late presentation of hemobilia following cholecystectomy, which is unusual because pseudoaneurysm caused by vascular injury during surgery typically presents soon after surgery. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed a large blood clot arising from the biliary orifice with subsequent computed tomography angiography diagnosing a large pseudoaneurysm in ...
