Left ventricular pseudoaneurysms (LVPs) occur as a complication of myocardial infarction, cardiac surgery and, rarely, due to thoracic trauma, infective pericarditis or iatrogenisis due to accidental perforation of the myocardium. Ventricular pseudoaneurysms are acquired by blood-filled spaces outside the cardiac chambers communicating with the ventricle. We present a case of LVP presented afte...

Ventricular pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon, potentially fatal complication that has been associated with myocardial infarction, cardiac surgery, chest trauma, and infectious processes. Diagnosis can be challenging, as cases are rare and slowly progressing and typically lack identifiable features on clinical presentation. As a result, advanced imaging techniques have become the hallmark of identi...

Pseudoaneurysms of the cystic artery are rare complications related to cholecystitis. A 74-year-old male visited our Emergency Department (ED) for abdominal pain. He was febrile and jaundiced. However, no hematemesis or melena was noted. Physical examination showed no Murphy sign. Computer Tomography (CT) showed a pseudoaneurysm near the gallbladder fossa. The patient was managed with transcath...

Traumatic pseudoaneurysms of middle meningeal artery (MMA) and medial sphenoid wing dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) are rare. These lesions usually result from traumatic brain injury, and associated with skull fracture. In this paper, the authors report a case of a patient with a ruptured traumatic pseudoaneurysm of MMA and medial sphenoid wing dAVF presented with an intracerebral hemorrhage...

BACKGROUND Hemobilia is a rare but lethal biliary tract complication. There are several causes of hemobilia which might be classified as traumatic or nontraumatic. Hemobilia caused by pseudoaneurysm might result from hepatobiliary surgery or percutaneous interventional hepatobiliary procedures. However, to our knowledge, there are no previous reports pertaining to hemobilia caused by hepatic ps...

Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the axillary artery is a rare sequela of injury to shoulder region. We report here a unique case of delayed presentation of axillary artery pseudoaneurysm after a blunt injury, clinically mimicking soft tissue tumor without evidence of gross bony injury. The gentleman presented after six months of injury with a progressively growing mass in left axillary region and n...

Dear Editor, While most cases of acute lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding resolve spontaneously following supportive management, 10% to 15% of patients in whom bleeding persists require further diagnostic and therapeutic intervention.1 The most common causes of massive lower GI bleeding are diverticular disease and angiodysplasia.2 Massive lower GI bleeding resulting from a pseudoaneurysm is ...

A 60-year-old woman involved in a motor vehicle collision presented with a traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the innominate artery origin in addition to multiple concomitant injuries. She was classified as a high-risk candidate for open repair. An experimental thoracic branched graft device was used for coverage of the injury with the addition of a right carotid-to-left carotid-to-left subclavian art...
