BACKGROUND Visceral artery aneurysms although rare, have very high mortality if they rupture. CASE PRESENTATION An interesting case of a bleeding inferior pancreaticduodenal artery aneurysm is reported in a young patient who presented with hypovolemic shock while being treated in the hospital after undergoing total knee replacement. Endovascular embolization was successfully employed to treat...

Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) occurs predominantly in women and the majority of them are asymptomatic until rupture. In cases of spontaneous rupture of an SAA, maternal and fetal mortality rates remain extremely high. Furthermore, the spontaneous ruptures of SAAs predominantly appear during the third trimester of pregnancy. We present the third known case of spontaneous SAA rupture during the f...

Splenic ectopic pregnancy is very rare, it is easy to be negligence by doctors and the outcome is ominous if not treated promptly. Here we reported an extremely rare case happened in a young Chinese woman. She was admitted in to hospital by hypovolemic shock. A live splenic ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed by ultrasound. Laparotomy with splenectomy was performed and histology confirmed the diagn...

An animal model was designed to study the effect of large volume Hypertonic Solutions (HTS) for re‌suscitation following a hypovolemic shock. Resuscitation in hypovolemic animals was performed by infusion of 15 ml/kg of normal saline (group I), 5% sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) (group II), 5% sodium chloride (NaCI) and 7.5 % NaHCO3 1:1 VN (group III), 5% NaC1 (group IV), and 5% NaCl and 5% serum a...
