Radiation induced carotid stenosis (RICS) is known but challenging complication of head and neck irradiation. Endovascular revascularization is preferred treatment modality than surgical revascularization. Sometimes endovascular treatment may be difficult in view of long segment of stenosis and associated pseudoaneurysm. We report a unique technique of carotid stenting named as "conjoined stent...

objective: to determine the risk factors, clinical characteristics, surgical management and outcome of pseudoaneurysm secondary to iatrogenic or traumatic vascular injury. m et h o d s : this was a cross-sectional study being performed in department of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery skims soura during a 4-year period. we included all the patients referring to our center with primary diagno...

The purpose is to describe a case of traumatic right extracranial internal carotid artery (EICA) pseudoaneurysm, which is a rare entity and the evolution of treatment from surgery to minimally invasive intervention by endovascular stenting and coiling. We reported a case of traumatic right EICA pseudoaneurysm who presented with multiple cranial nerve palsies. Multiple radiological examinations ...

UNLABELLED Cardiac pseudoaneurysm is an extremely rare condition in children. It can be congenital or acquired and has been primarily described in the left side of the heart. The congenital form of pseudoaneurysm is thought to be related to muscular dysplasia of the muscular layer of the heart. The acquired form is related to myocardial infarction, infective endocarditis or chest trauma. In thi...

Abstract Pseudoaneurysm of the palmar arch is a rare entity. Diagnosis dependent on high clinical suspicion. We present case referred to emergency department, with history glass penetrating trauma surface pulsatile mass and jet bleeding. Doppler ultrasound evidenced partially thrombosed pseudoaneurysm. A CT angiography examination showed saccular formation arising from superficial arch. convent...

Right ventricular (RV) pseudoaneurysm caused by trauma is very rare. We report a case of RV pseudoaneurysm which resolved without surgical treatment in a patient who survived a falling accident. Echocardiography failed to identify the pseudoaneurysm. Electrocardiography-gated CT showed a 17-mm-sized saccular pseudoaneurysm arising from the RV outflow tract with a narrow neck. Follow-up CT after...

BACKGROUND A chronic iliac arterial pseudoaneurysm caused by blunt trauma is very rare. CASE PRESENTATION The patient had gunshot wound in the right thigh and blunt trauma 40 years earlier. An abdominal computed tomography revealed the presence of a right iliac arterial pseudoaneurysm, and we successfully treated the pseudoaneurysm by resection and in situ reconstruction with a bifurcated vas...

BACKGROUND Pseudoaneurysm formation is a rare complication of arterial puncture. CASE CHARACTERISTICS 3-week-old male developed an enlarging mass over the anterior aspect of left wrist following radial arterial puncture. OBSERVATION Doppler ultrasonography revealed mass to be left radial arterial pseudoaneurysm. Subsequent presentation of ecchymoses and investigations confirmed factor VIII ...

Abstract Background Pseudoaneurysm formation is known to complicate arteriovenous haemodialysis access. Ultrasound guided thrombin injection a recognised treatment option, but not possible in pseudoaneurysms with no measurable neck. Balloon assisted techniques have been described such cases, which transiently obstruct flow out of the pseudoaneurysm and thereby prevent non-target embolization du...

A left ventricular pseudoaneurysm develops when myocardial rupture is contained by the pericardium. Although left ventricular pseudoaneurysm has been a topic of discussion since the pioneering days of open heart surgery, it still remains a technical challenge in reconstructive cardiac surgery. Reoperation following pseudoaneurysm repair is also frequent. We report surgical treatment in two pati...
