Marfan syndrome rarely presents with peripheral artery and pulmonary artery aneurysms. We are presenting a case of a fifteen-year-old boy who presented to us with progressive lower abdominal pulsatile swelling with bruit in the right inguinal region for one month. He had typical marfanoid habitus, though there was no history of similar illness in family. CT angiogram revealed the presence havin...

OBJECTIVE Endovascular techniques to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms results in lower morbidity and mortality rates. However, dilation of the common iliac arteries prevents adequate distal sealing, which compromises the procedure success. The aim of this study is report the long-term outcomes of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms associated with aneurysm of the common iliac artery follow...

A78-year-old man was referred for treatment of a progressively enlarging, asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and a left hypogastric artery aneurysm, which had been followed for 3 years with serial computed tomography (CT) scans. A helical CT angiogram was obtained using a 100 mL intravenous bolus of iodinated contrast medium (GE LightSpeed, 2.5 mm nominal section thickness, 6.0 pitch,...

Late rupture of external iliac artery pseudo-aneurysm is an uncommon complication in patients who undergo extensive gynecologic radical surgeries. A 28-year-old woman with stage IB cervical cancer underwent pelvic lymphadenectomy and extrafascial trachelectomy. Two months after surgery, massive bleeding from ruptured pseudo-aneurysm of the external iliac artery occurred. Endovascular management...

Hybrid visceral-renal debranching procedures with endovascular repair have been proposed as an appealing technique to treat conventional thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). This approach, however, still remained controversial because of the non-physiological blood flow direction of its retrograde visceral revascularization (RVR) which is generally constructed from the aortic bifurcation or...

It may be difficult to access a route to deliver a stent-graft for abdominal aortic aneurysm in high-risk patients with bilateral iliofemoral occlusive disease. These two patients underwent both endovascular aortic aneurysm repair by a modified iliac access conduit technique and sequential ipsilateral iliofemoral artery bypass using the conduit, which provided excellent results. The iliac acces...

The aim of this study was to analyze the anatomical characteristics of patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) using computed tomography (CT) aortography in order to determine the risk factors for rupture.We retrospectively reviewed the CT aortography findings and medical records of patients with ruptured AAAs who underwent CT aortography between February 2002 and December 2014...

A 77-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a 2-day history of increased swelling and pain in the left knee and distal thigh. He was unable to extend the knee without severe pain. On examination, the patient had a large pulsatile mass in the left popliteal fossa and distal thigh. Which of the following is the initial diagnostic test of choice for popliteal artery aneurysm? A. ...

introduction: the persian squirrel (sciurus anomalus) is considered the only well-known species of the family sciuridae in the middle east. since some people keep this squirrel as a domestic pet, their attendance at veterinary clinics is increasing. so far, no study has been conducted on the arterial supply of the pelvic cavity and limb in the squirrel. hence, this research was performed to fil...

BACKGROUND The etiology of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) may pose a significant diagnostic challenge because truly reversible causes of DVT are rare. In this regard, known pelvic anatomic abnormalities such as aortic and iliac aneurysms should be seriously considered as a complicating factor in patients presenting with acute DVT so as not to miss a potentially curable etiology of May-Thurner syn...
