the major complication of kawasaki disease is coronary artery dilatation and aneurysm. it occurs in approximately 15-25% of untreated children with kawasaki disease. early diagnosis and treatment with intravenous immune globulin (ivig) and aspirin (asa) can reduce the incidence of coronary artery abnormality to 2%-5%. we report one case of atypical kawasaki disease with multiple giant coronary ...

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the deliverability, positioning, stability, and effectiveness of aneurysm occlusion and the incidence of parent-artery thrombosis of two different types of platinum coils, using a canine carotid aneurysm model. METHODS 29 experimental canine carotid aneurysms (19 lateral, 6 bifurcation, and 4 terminal) were constructed and treated with complex-shaped fibered pl...

The dilatation of pulmonary artery is a rare condition and called as pulmonary artery aneurysm. Aneurysm of both the pulmonary trunk and the ascending aorta is even rarer. Symptoms are due to aneurysm compression in adjacent anatomical structures. The main indicator of treatment is the pulmonary artery pressure. The prognosis and treatment of pulmonary artery aneurysm is unclear. Herein we pres...

Spontaneous rupture of an aneurysm of the ovarian artery is usually considered a rare complication of pregnancy and the puerperium. However, we observed this emergent condition in a 51-year-old postmenopausal woman. We report here our experiences and consider lessons about diagnosis and management that can be drawn from this case and 5 other published cases in multiparous middle-aged women. The...

Celiac artery aneurysm associated with hemosuccus pancreaticus is extremely rare. We herein present a 67-year-old man with a large celiac artery aneurysm presenting with intermittent massive gastrointestinal bleeding due to connection of aneurysm with a blood-filled pancreatic duct who was successfully operated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of hemosuccus panc...

Parent artery ligation is an accepted treatment for intracranial aneurysms that are not amenable to a direct surgical approach. Parent artery ligation is one of the oldest effective surgical means of aneurysm therapy (the "Hunterian principle" (1 ]). Recently it has become possible to perform parent artery occlusion of the carotid or vertebral artery percutaneously by using detachable balloon t...

Bypass surgery is often used in the treatment of large and giant aneurysms. Major complications that often arise during the perioperative period include cranial nerve palsy, ischemic complications, and hyperperfusion. However, there have been a few reports about late onset complications such as anastomotic aneurysms. In particular, anastomotic aneurysm after high flow bypasses has never been re...

The majority of the axillary artery aneurysm cases arise as pseudoaneurysms secondary to blunt or iatrogenic trauma. Isolated traumatic true axillary artery aneurysm is a relatively unusual disorder and generally occurs with repetitive blunt trauma. A 22-year-old female patient with distal axillary artery true aneurysm due to simple blunt axillothoracic trauma is presented. The aneurysm was exc...
