Abstract Due to an increased number of patients with aneurysms treated endovascularly, a resident does not have enough opportunities come across such complex procedure as surgical clipping. There been many types training methods designed for traditional aneurysm treatment so far. A brief report regarding the helpfulness vascular simulator AneurysmBox at our Neurosurgical Department is presented.

It is now technically possible to treat intracranial aneurysms from a trans vascular approach by balloon embolization therapy. If the aneurysm has a neck, a detachable silicone balloon can be guided into the aneurysm, inflated to occlude the neck and dome, and detached. We are thus able to exclude the aneurysm from the circulation and preserve the parent vessel. In patients who have failed stan...

We performed time-resolved 3D phase-contrast MR imaging by using a 1.5T MR scanner to visualize hemodynamics in a silicon vascular model with a middle cerebral aneurysm. We ran an aqueous solution of glycerol as a flowing fluid with a pulsatile pump. Time-resolved images of 3D streamlines and 2D velocity vector fields clearly demonstrated that the aneurysm had 3D complex vortex flows within it ...

the aim of this study is to evaluate the complication rate of diagnostic and interventional angioplasty performed by vascular surgeon in imam reza hospital in kermanshah, in 2010-2011. in this descriptive –analytic study, 259 patients who underwent diagnostic interventional angiography in imam reza hospital of kermanshah were selected using convenience sampling. the data gathering tool was a pr...

Splenic artery aneurysms are rare but important vascular lesions that constitute approximately 60% of all visceral arterial aneurysms. Splenic artery is the third most common localization of intraabdominal aneurysm formation. Rupture is the main complication that occurs in 3%-10% of the cases. We describe a case with a proximal splenic artery aneurysm. To preserve splenic function and reduce th...

Intravenous drug abuse is an increasing social and health problem. Repeated injuries to the veins, injection of some types of insoluble substances, and needle sharing habits result in various complications. Increasing incidence of major vascular complications has been reported worldwide. The objective of this study was to determine the epidemiology of vascular lesions in drug abusers. Medical r...

The article introduced selected fragments of the "Manual for Teaching Surgery" by Professor St. Petersburg Medical and Surgical Academy I.F. Bush (1771-1843), devoted to teaching about arterial aneurysm, into scientific circulation. For first time in Russian literature, defined divided aneurysm true, false, mixed arteriovenous, singled out spongy (hemangioma), described etiology, clinic, diagno...

Here, we report a case of splenic artery aneurysm rupture in patient with known heterozygosity mutation the ACTN2 gene (variant c.971G > A p.Arg324Gln). The came to our emergency department epigastric pain radiating lumbar area, an absence peritonism signs. An abdominal computed tomography angiography showed ruptured huge (5 cm) aneurysm. Therefore, underwent endovascular coil embolization c...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a solitary spinal aneurysm is extremely rare, and diagnosis and treatment are challenging. We report a rare case of a ruptured radiculomedullary artery aneurysm in a patient with Behçet disease. A 49-year-old man presented with severe lower abdominal and leg pain. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed and an enhanced intradural-extramedullary lesion at the T12 ...

We commend Kulkarni et al. (1) on their description of a rare case of aberrant splenic artery aneurysm treated with a combination of stent graft and coil embolization. Indeed, aneurysm of splenic artery is a protean disease as for the origin, location, size and clinical manifestations. Furthermore, what appears to be initially a splenic aneurysm can exceptionally turn out to be another vascular...
