We describe a case of successful open-cell stent deployment across the wide neck of a large middle cerebral artery aneurysm using the stent anchor technique. A microcatheter was looped through the aneurysm and navigated into a distal vessel across the aneurysm neck. Although the loop of the microcatheter in the aneurysm straightened as it was gently withdrawn, the microcatheter again protruded ...

Massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a known complication of advanced sepsis in trauma patients and carries a grave prognosis. However, to our knowledge, an important cause of massive gastrointestinal bleeding, arterio-visceral fistula, has not been discussed in the literature. The most common cause of this unique clinical entity is penetrating high velocity abdominal injuries, altho...

Pseudo-aneurysm of internal maxillary artery, following a road traffic accident, is rare clinical scenario. The consequence pseudo-aneurysm may be spontaneous rupture the arterial wall, which eventually lead to life-threatening hemorrhage. We report case 20-year male who presented with recurrent epistaxis. CT scan was performed, revealed artery; this successfully treated by angioembolisation. S...

A 72-year-old man with a history of old myocardial infarction was admitted to our hospital for surgical treatment of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. His hemodynamics was stable. He had left lumbar pain on moving his left leg and constipation for ten days without abdominal pain and high fever. Elevation of fat density around the aneurysm and ureter involvement were noted on the computed to...

A replica of a lethal wide-necked basilar artery aneurysm was created by casting a deceased patient’s brain vessels and then placing the replica in a circuit of pulsating optically clear non-Newtonian fluid. Individual fluid slipstreams were opacified with isobaric dyes, and images were recorded on film. Studies were completed on the vascular replica, then were repeated, first after placement o...

a 52-year-old post-menopausal female was admitted to the emergency room due to acute onset of abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant. there was no history of trauma of the abdomen. contrast-enhanced multi-detector computed tomography (mdct) of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a massive right retroperitoneal hematoma and contrast extravasation from a right ovarian artery aneurysm. digital sub...

a twelve year old girl, an established case of systemic lupus erythematosus, was referred to us suffering from diplopia and nasal speech for a period of 3 months. neurological examination was conducted which revealed a right-sided sixth nerve palsy and a pulsatile nasopharyngeal mass. neurodiagnostic imaging studies confirmed a giant intracavernous internal carotid aneurysm. the malady of the a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate mid-term survival in patients undergoing elective fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair and standard endovascular aneurysm repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm. METHODS Consecutive patients treated from 2007 to 2011 with elective fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (n = 81) and endovascular aneurysm repair (n = 201) were evaluated concerning age, cardiovascular m...

Hemodynamic parameters of cerebral aneurysm play an important role in the progression, growth and rupture of an aneurysm. Therefore, the knowledge of hemodynamic parameters may provide physicians with understanding of aneurysm initiation, growth and rupture. Progression of medical imaging technology and improvement of the computer has enabled to predict the hemodynamics of aneurysm with increas...

Annular subvalvular left ventricular aneurysm was first reported in 1962. This type of aneurysm usually arises from the annular subaortic or submitral region of the left ventricle. It should be differentiated from the left ventricular false aneurysm, which was caused by myocardial necrosis. The etiology of subvalvular aneurysm remains unclear. We have presented a case of annular submitral left ...
