Little has been written about acute blood loss from hemodialysis vascular access. We describe a 57-year-old Caucasian male with an approximately 7 gm/dL drop in hemoglobin due to bleeding from a ruptured aneurysm in his right brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (AVF). There was no evidence of fistula infection. The patient was successfully managed by blood transfusions and insertion of a tunn...

We present a unique vascular complication of α-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) in a patient with an acute onset of epigastric pain and hemodynamic instability. Abdominal computed tomography angiography detected hemoperitoneum and hematoma within the gastrohepatic ligament with active extravasation. Abdominal angiography revealed left gastric aneurysms. An association between AATD and vascular a...

Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage which has a serious mortality and morbitity ratio, occurs approximately 10/100.000 population per year and it is usally caused by rupture of a cerebral artery aneurysm. Aneurysms are classified saccular, fusiform or dissecan by morphological description. Vascular congenital anomalies of the cerebral vessels contribute to saccular aneurysm formation by increas...

The neuroendoscope, with its higher magnification, better observation, and additional illumination, can provide us information that may not be available with the microscope in aneurysm surgery. Furthermore, recent advancement of the holding systems for the endoscope allows surgeons to perform microsurgical manipulation using both hands under the simultaneous endoscopic and microscopic monitorin...

Vascular diseases of the spleen are relatively uncommon in the clinical practice. However, the reported incidence has been progressively increasing, probably due to advances in the imaging modalities used to detect them. This disease condition often presents with non-specific clinical manifestations, but can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This review article aims to pro...

The increasingly demonstrated association of wall enhancement (WE) measured by vascular imaging with the instability/rupture intracranial aneurysms (IAs) implies significance investigating transport and accumulation blood substances [e.g., low-density lipoprotein (LDL), (a)] related to WE in IAs. In present study, we perform numerical simulations explore relationships between distribution/sever...

used whenever there was the likelihood of angiography and a mobile image intensifier linked to a videotape recorder was available. Catheterization angiography was favoured. Four instances in which this technique was used were described to illustrate its value. 1. For localization of intracranial vascular lesionsfor example, a small, deeply placed arteriovenous malformation. 2. To increase the p...

OBJECTIVE Behcet's is an idiopathic multi-organ syndrome, which may have onset during childhood. Vascular involvement is uncommon, with rarely reported coronary aneurysm formation. We present a case report of a teenager girl who developed recalcitrant life-threatening Behcet's vasculitis, involving both small and large venous and arterial systems including a giant coronary aneurysm. CASE REPO...

Headache can be attributed to cranial or cervical vascular disorders including ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, unruptured vascular malformation, arteritis, carotid-vertebral artery pain, and cerebral venous thrombosis. Here, we present a case report of unruptured saccular aneurysm with migraine. The patient was a previously healthy 32-year-ol...

Abstract Introduction Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare, non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory vascular disorder that primarily affects renal and cerebrovascular vessels. Limited data are available on the clinical characteristics of FMD, particularly from UK/Europe. Methods We performed retrospective cohort analysis all cases carotid/cerebrovascular FMD presenting to our regional service,...
