An 83-year-old male with multiple comorbidities presented with critical aortic stenosis and a saccular aortic arch aneurysm. Through a mini thoracotomy, a balloon expandable transcatheter aortic valve was delivered transapically. A thoracic stent graft was then delivered through the prosthetic valve and deployed in the arch, while a covered stent was deployed in the left common carotid artery. ...

The high-probability ventilation-perfusion lung scan is accepted as supportive of pulmonary embolism and often negates further diagnostic evaluation; however, there are processes that mimic the clinical presentation and radiographic findings of pulmonary emboli, including a unilateral segmental or greater perfusion defect. We present the findings in a patient whose presentation and ventilation-...

Aneurysm of the branch pulmonary arteries are rare. The treatment options vary from case to case and include either surgery or percutaneous transcatheter treatment. The authors report a case of a 13-year-old boy who presented with a large pseudoaneurysm arising from the left lower lobe pulmonary artery. It was treated successfully by occluding the neck of the pseudoaneurysm by endovascular depl...

We herein report a rare case of mycotic aneurysm the superior mesenteric artery caused by <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>. A 66-year-old man, known hypertension and aorto-oesophageal fistula with stented aorta in 2010 2018, presented to emergency department multiple times over 2 months severe postprandial abdominal pain associated vomiting fever. On his last presentation, obtained bloo...

Despite the availability of interventional catheterization for patients with acute coronary syndromes, there is an unavoidable delay until the occluded coronary artery(s) can be revascularized, during which time persistent ischemia may lead to irreversible myocardial damage despite subsequently high patency rates. Accordingly, there has been an intense effort to develop early interventions that...

A 40 year male presented with sudden loss of consciousness. There was history of progressive loss of vision in the right eye and dull pain in the right temporal region. He was subjected to a CT scan of the head. Plain CT scan (Fig. 1) shows a 6.8x6.6x6.0 cm heterogenous SOL with a well defined calcified rim and irregular hypodense areas in the right fronto-temporoparietal region causing mass ef...

A 56-year-old female with a giant partially thrombosed unruptured carotid-ophthalmic aneurysm was treated with a Pipeline flow diverter. Three months after the procedure, in concomitance with the discontinuation of one of the antiplatelet medications, the patient suffered from a minor stroke and relapsing transient ischemic attacks. The angiography demonstrated the occlusion of the internal car...

Giant vertebral and vertebrobasilar (VB) aneurysms constitute a rare form of intracranial aneurysms that exhibit a dismal natural history associated with significant morbidity and mortality.1 Current endovascular treatments include coil embolization as well as the more recent use of flow-diverting stents, each having known risks of aneurysm recurrence, ischemia, and death.2 Extracranial–intracr...
