a 32-year-old female patient with previous bentall operation and mitral valve repair surgery due to severe aortic insufficiency, mitral valve insufficiency, and ascending aortic aneurysm was admitted to our hospital with serious dyspnea, fatigue, and mild chest pain. two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated a markedly dilated basal aorta and cardiac chambers. thoracic computed tomography s...

this report presents a case of left radial artery pseudoaneurysm developing at the previous site of invasive monitoring. the patient had prosthetic mitral valve replacement one month earlier, and anti-coagulation therapy had started on the first post-operative day. the patient’s radial artery aneurysm with a 4-centimeter diameter was resected and the radial artery was ligated.

behcet’s disease is a rare immune mediated systemic vasculitis which besides it’s more frequent involvement of eyes and skin,   sometimes present with aortic pseudo aneurysm and more rarely cardiac inflammatory masses.a 51-year-old patient with behçet’s disease presented with two symptomatic aortic pseudoaneurysms concomitant with a right atrial mass. computed tomography (ct) revealed one supra...

pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta, which are rare and life-threatening complications in cardiovascular surgeries, can be caused by the bentall procedure. we describe a 44-year-old woman, who had a medical history of acute aortic dissection (type a) and the bentall procedure and was admitted because of exertional dyspnea, edema of the lower extremities, ascites, and holosystolic murmur in t...

transradial coronary angiography has been known as an alternative to the transfemoral approach with fewer serious complications. radial artery pseudoaneurysms present as a rare complication of transradial catheterization. although some methods have been applied for the obliteration of pseudoaneurysms, the use of radial bands such as the tr band ® (terumo medical corporation, somerset, nj) is a ...

mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is rare in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) and usually caused by staphylococcus aureus. we describe a patient with a mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta at the proximal vein graft anastomosis site after cabg. culture from the sinus tract of the sternum and from the aneurysm sac was klebsiella pneumoniae. surgical te...

Traumatic false aneurysm of the thoracic aorta is not uncommon. But accordingly this case is unusual in its ten year delay between injury and presentation and treatment. A victim of the Iran-Iraq war is presented with a false aneurysm of the thoracic aorta ten years after a bullet injury to the chest and thoracic spine. Penetrating chest wounds, mechanisms of injury and diagnosis are also ...

one of the most serious complications of mitral valve replacement is left ventricular rupture and pseudoaneurysm formation, which is rare but potentially lethal. we herein present a late type of post mitral valve replacement and coronary artery bypass surgery pseudoaneurysm in a 74-year-old female, who was admitted to our hospital with a recent history of exertional dyspnea. she had the above-m...

pseudoaneurysms rarely occur as a serious complication following incomplete hemostasis of an arterial puncture site. as a result of the increase in diagnostic and therapeutic angiography, the frequency of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm has increased as well. iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms associated with angiographic catheterization occur most commonly in the common femoral artery. here we report a case...
