A traumatic internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm is rare and difficult to treat. Trapping of ICA is commonly performed owing to the difficulty of directly approaching ICA aneurysms. Recently, coiling the aneurysm itself was recommended if possible. However, it is controversial which of methods are best to completely treat aneurysm. We present the case of a 74-year-old man, who had experienced...

Repair of posterior left ventricular ischemic aneurysms implies an extracardiac approach to reshape the ventricular geometry frequently associated with mitral surgery. A transatrial technique was described for lesions following mitral surgery or for subvalvular idiopathic cases. A transmitral approach was used for ischemic or traumatic pseudoaneurysm. We describe a case of postinfarction poster...

Two months after a gunshot wound to the head of a 12-year-old boy, MR imaging outlined an asymptomatic false aneurysm of the carotid artery. The scan's ability to image in multiple planes with noninvasive visualization of pulsatile vessel flow suggests its use for follow-up examinations of traumatic injuries to the head or neck.

ogy requiring endovascular treatment. Most direct CCFs are secondary to traumatic injury involving the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA). Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm (esp. intracavernous aneurysm) leads to CCF, epistaxis, or subarachnoid hemorrhage. On the contrary, TCAs comprise less than 1% of all intracranial aneurysms and are usually associated with penetrating ...

We report a case in which a "false" aneurysm of the basilar artery developed after an assault on a patient resulting in head injuries. Diagnostic imaging and endovascular treatment are described. Formation mechanisms of traumatic intracranial aneurysms are discussed and the literature is reviewed.

Aetna considers remote ischemic conditioning experimental and investigational for the treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, primary graft dysfunction following lung transplantation, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and other indications (e.g., for cardiac, cognitive, pulmonary and renal protection during cardiac surgery, endovascular aneurysm repair,...
