Recurrent True Brachial Artery Aneurysm

True aneurysm of the brachial artery is a rare disease entity. The mechanism of aneurysm formation is considered to be compression of the arterial wall, producing contusion of the media and subsequent weakness of the wall and fusiform dilatation. It can be caused by arteriosclerotic, congenital, and metabolic disorders, and can be associated with diseases such as Kawasaki's disease. Doppler ult...

Transplant renal artery false aneurysm

The transplant renal artery false aneurysm is a rare event but can be fatal. We report the case of a patient with a false aneurysm, which appeared 6 years after transplantation. The clinical presentation was an increase of the creatinine value and de novo graft hydronephrosis. The first ultrasound performed showed no aneurysm, leaving doubt whether this would not have been caused iatrogenically...

False Aneurysm of the Common Femoral Artery in an Infant after a Phlebotomy

False Aneurysms are uncommon in the pediatric population. We report a case of false aneurysm of the common femoral artery (CFA) after accidental arterial puncture, during a phlebotomy for blood sample. The lesion was surgically resected and arterial continuity restored by end to end anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Moreover, this type of aneurysm following usage of axillary crutch has not reported in the literature. Furthermore, this entity presenting as Reynaud’s disease has not been described; though microemboli following subclavio-axillary artery aneurysm (arterial thoracic outlet syndrome) is well-define...
