A 71-year-old woman presented with an enlarging mass in the right buttock, with pain and tingling sensation in sitting position. Five years ago, she was diagnosed with acute limb ischemia due to acute thrombosis of right persistent sciatic artery (PSA), and she underwent successful thromboembolectomy and femoro-tibioperoneal trunk bypass. Computed tomography angiography revealed a huge PSA aneu...

Giant serpentine aneurysms are uncommon types of aneurysmal disease and have angiographically authentic features. We report a case of a 44-year-old male with headache and seizure. He presented a giant serpentine aneurysm arising from the middle cerebral artery (MCA). It was a large intracranial aneurysm thrombosed as a mass-like lesion while it maintained its outflow drainage into the distal MC...

We report the case of an 80-year-old patient with bilateral isolated internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIIAAs), which were diagnosed by computer tomography angiography (CTA). Aneurysms with short proximal necks and large diameters were treated with coils, followed by placement of a bifurcated stent-graft within the aortic and external iliac arteries. When ectopic embolism and a type III endoleak...

This case report describes a 7 kg male with double inlet right ventricle, transposition of the great arteries and pulmonary atresia admitted to Stollery Children’s Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta for bidirectional Glenn (BDG) and patch augmentation of the left pulmonary artery (LPA). The patient had undergone three previous operations, initially a right modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (3.5mm), follo...

This report describes a case where joint neurological and cardiac surgery teams cooperated to perform simultaneous procedures of clipping a complex internal carotid artery under hypothermic cardiac arrest and coronary artery bypass grafting. A 69 year old man was evaluated for complaints of double vision, pain behind his right eye, and progressively worsening headaches. Examination showed bilat...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Maintenance of previously thrombosed arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) as functional vascular accesses can be highly expensive, with relevant financial implications for healthcare systems. The aim of our study was to evaluate the costs and health outcomes of vascular access care in hemodialysis patients with AVF thrombosis. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS A...

A 35 years old woman presented with an acute meningeal syndrome following an intra ventricular haemorrhage without subarachnoid haemorrhage. The angiography demonstrated a 6 mm partially thrombosed saccular aneurysm at the plexal point of the right anterior choroidal artery (AChoA). It was surgically approached inside the ventricle through a trans-temporal corticotomy. The aneurysm was excised ...

Aneurysms at the extracranial portion of the internal carotid artery are rare disorders. In the largest series, McCollum reported only 37 cases over a 21 year period (1) and Moreau reported 35 cases over a 24 year period (2). This uncommon but interesting vascular disorder usually presents as a parapharyngeal pulsatile mass. It can be partially or completely thrombosed and can thereby cause emb...

1 of 2 DESCRIPTION A 39-year-old man presented with sudden back pain and admitted. The contrast-enhanced CT showed the development of acute aortic dissection (AD) with patent false lumen. The dissection extended from just distal at the left subclavian artery to bilateral common iliac artery. The patient was treated with intensive blood pressure (BP) control with antihypertensive drugs, however ...
