Partial splenic embolization (PSE) is one of the intra-arterial therapeutic approaches of diseases. With the development of interventional radiology, the applications of PSE in clinical practice are greatly extended, while various materials are developed for embolization use. Common indications of PSE include hypersplenism with portal hypertension, hereditary spherocytosis, thalassemia, autoimm...

conclusions coronary artery aneurysm should be a differential diagnosis in cases of mediastinal cyst and mass lesion. case presentation a 32-year-old woman presented with edema of the upper and lower limbs, palpitation, and chest pain, and was diagnosed with a giant right coronary artery aneurysm that had initially mimicked a mediastinal cyst. although computed tomography (ct) suggested a media...

Abstract Endovascular management of splenic blunt trauma is widely accepted as a safe and effective alternative to open surgery in carefully selected patients. Following radiologically successful intervention, patients are normally discharged with no follow up after 48-72 hours haemodynamic stability satisfactory serial haemoglobin levels. We present case fit well 24-year-old male patient who p...

In patients with acute pancreatitis, profuse gastrointestinal bleeding is associated with a high death rate. The cause of such bleeding must be evaluated and the bleeding controlled urgently. Aneurysm formation is usually the cause of the bleeding. Angiography is needed to make a definitive diagnosis and the bleeding site should be controlled by angiographic embolization if possible. If this fa...

Hemosuccus pancreaticus, also named as Wirsungorrhagia or psuedohematobilia is a rare condition of intermittent hemorrhage from upper gastrointestinal tract. The source of bleeding is from a visceral aneurysm into main pancreatic duct in patients with chronic pancreatitis. It is a life threatening complication of pancreatitis and a significant diagnostic challenge due to its intermittent nature...

We present a unique vascular complication of α-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) in a patient with an acute onset of epigastric pain and hemodynamic instability. Abdominal computed tomography angiography detected hemoperitoneum and hematoma within the gastrohepatic ligament with active extravasation. Abdominal angiography revealed left gastric aneurysms. An association between AATD and vascular a...

Introduction Segmental arterial mediolysis is a rare disorder characterised by disintegration of the medial layer of an arterial wall usually affecting the intra-abdominal splanchnic vessels. Report A case of 50 year old man who presented with sudden-onset left sided flank pain is reported. A computed tomography mesenteric angiogram showed haemorrhage and a stable left upper quadrant haematom...

CASEREPORT A 51 -year-old male patient with previous history ofacute pancreatitis was admitted with sudden onset of severe epigastric pain, hypovolaemic shock and signs of peritonitis. Haemoglobin was 8g/dl with normal indices. Other blood tests were normal. A provisional diagnosis of a perforated viscus was made and a laparotomy was performed. However this revealed a large haemoperitoneum and ...

We report on an asymptomatic 56-year-old male with incidental diagnosis of celiac trunk aneurysm, diagnosed during an ultrasound scan performed to control polycystic kidney disease. The CT scan revealed a 3.8 cm saccular aneurysm of the celiac artery dissected in the superior wall with a consequent 4.3 cm pseudoaneurysm; we adopted an endovascular approach to exclude the lesion by catheterizing...
