this report presents a case of left radial artery pseudoaneurysm developing at the previous site of invasive monitoring. the patient had prosthetic mitral valve replacement one month earlier, and anti-coagulation therapy had started on the first post-operative day. the patient’s radial artery aneurysm with a 4-centimeter diameter was resected and the radial artery was ligated.

Visceral pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon but serious complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis. It affects the splenic artery in 40% of cases [1]. Traditional treatment includes surgical excision or ligation and endovascular techniques [2, 3]. This article describes the first reported case of a large splenic artery pseudoaneurysm that was managed by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided thrombin...

Pseudoaneurysms of the internal iliac artery are uncommon and are usually associated with trauma. We report the case of a 32-year-old man with a 15-day history of trauma to the abdomen and edema of the lower left limb. An arteriogram demonstrated proximal occlusion of the popliteal artery and a pseudoaneurysm in the internal iliac artery. Embolization of the pseudoaneurysm was performed using s...

A 70-year-old woman with a history of end-stage renal disease secondary to anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated vasculitis had been receiving hemodialysis for 5 years. The patient underwent attempted right internal jugular vein cannulation for temporary hemodialysis catheter placement. Pulsating mass developed in the neck and angiography revealed a subclavian artery pseudoaneurys...

Pseudoaneurysm of the superior gluteal artery (SGA) is very rare and the most common causes are blunt or penetrating pelvic traumas. Although pseudoaneurysm can be asymptomatic at the time of initial trauma, it can be symptomatic weeks, months, even years after initial trauma. We present a case of a ruptured superior gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm with hemorrhagic shock twenty days after a bomb ...

We report a case of a 71-year old woman with right inferior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm following laceration by a computed tomography-guided 18G biopsy needle. The laceration was initially treated with placement of retained sutures; however the patient turned hemodynamically unstable 41 days later. Percutaneous ultrasound-guided injection of 1500 U of thrombin solution resulted in almost c...

Posttraumatic pseudoaneurysms of the lateral plantar artery are rare. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman with a painful pseudoaneurysm of the lateral plantar artery resulting from a deep plantar cut injury. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated by performing a transarterial "frontdoor-backdoor" coil embolization technique, which is a minimally invasive alternative to conventional l...

A 72 year-old male with previous history of coronary heart disease, diabetes and gallbladder lithiasis, regularly medicated with low dose aspirin and oral anti-diabetics drugs, was admitted at the emergency room complaining of severe right upper abdominal quadrant pain and hematemesis. Physical examination: pallor, BP 110/70 mmHg, HR 90 bpm; tender and distended abdomen and normal cardiac-pulmo...

There are no reported cases of a pseudoaneurysm leading to a fistula into the pulmonary artery after percutaneous coronary intervention. We describe a patient who developed a late pseudoaneurysm after left main trunk (LMT) stenting with paclitaxel-eluting stent, discovered during coronary angiography. Transesophageal echocardiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomographic scan revealed a pe...

A 66-year-old man, who had undergone pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for cancer of the pancreatic head, developed recurrent obstructive jaundice. He underwent balloon-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with insertion of bilateral self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs). Following this, he was admitted again because of recurr...
