Hepatic artery aneurysm (HAA) is a rare disease (0.002%– 0.4%) but clinically important phenomenon [1]. HAAs are traditionally the second most common visceral aneurysms with an incidence of 20% and have highest (44%) reported rate rupture [2]. The clinical manifestations depending on size include epigastric pain, obstruction biliary tract, death [3]. Imaging modalities like computed tomograph...

A 67-year-old woman presented with an 8-mm-diameter pulsatile mass in her right forearm. The mass had been present for a year and has increased in size. She had a negative relevant medical history and no history of trauma, intervention, or venipuncture on the right arm. She did not complain of pain, numbness, or functional deficit of the arm or hand. Computed tomography angiography revealed a s...

Visceral pseudoaneurysm is a rare but well-described omplication of pancreatitis1,2 caused by the autodigestive unction of pancreatic enzymes.3 The splenic, gastroduoenal, pancreaticoduodenal, and hepatic arteries are most ommonly affected.2,4 Pseudoaneurysms require active anagement because of the high complication and morality rates associated with rupture.2,5 Traditional treatment ptions inc...

Methods 117 endovascular stent-graft procedures in 113 patients for thoracic, abdominal and iliac pathologies was performed at our institute between January 2009-April 2013. 94(83.1%) patients were male. Indications for endovascular interventions were as follows; 58 for abdominal aortic aneursym, 14 for descending aortic aneursym, 4 for both descending and abdominal aortic aneursyms, 2 for thor...

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...

Chronic pancreatitis is known to cause vascular lesions, which produce gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Visceral vessel aneurysms are an unexpectedly common finding in arteriograms of patients with chronic pancreatitis. Gastrointestinal bleeding from these aneurysms carries a high mortality, making early diagnosis and treatment essential. Coeliac and mesenteric arteriography readily confirm the di...

PURPOSE Endovascular surgery data are confirming the paramount role of modern endovascular tools for a safe and sure exclusion of thoracoabdominal lesions. CASE REPORT A 57-year-old female presented with severe comorbidity affected by a 58 mm thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). After patient-informed consent and local Ethical Committee and Italian Public Health Ministry authorization, th...

Chronic Q fever with vascular involvement is difficult to diagnose given its nonspecific symptoms. We add the current literature by presenting a case of surgical management chronic use selective visceral artery pump perfusion, in 68-year-old female who lived rural Southern California. She had frequent animal exposure and previously an endovascular repair her infrarenal aortic aneurysm likely fr...

Visceral arterial aneurysm is an uncommon form of vascular disease that has a significant potential for rupture or erosion into an adjacent viscera, resulting in life-threatening hemorrhage. Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) aneurysms are especially rare, comprising only 5-8% of all visceral arterial aneurysms. Traditionally, the most common treatment for SMA aneurysms has been simple surgical l...

Direct percutaneous puncture for coil placement has been described for visceral aneurysms, but the procedure has not been previously reported for aneurysms of the head and neck. We report a case in which stent-assisted endovascular treatment was successfully combined with direct puncture for additional coil placement to treat a symptomatic giant aneurysm of the cervical internal carotid artery.
