1/931. Intrahepatic artery pseudoaneurysm: a possible complication of blind thoracentesis.We present a case of intrahepatic artery pseudoaneurysm that developed after blind thoracentesis in a 67-year-old man. This unusual complication demonstrates the value of sonographic guidance in reducing the risk of complications of thoracentesis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/931. Pseudoaneurysm of the profunda femoris artery due to intertrochanteric fracture of the hip.Arterial injury caused by hip fracture is a rare event. We report a case of pseudoaneurysm of the profunda femoris artery that presented 4 weeks after correction of an intertrochanteric hip fracture with a dynamic hip screw. The diagnosis was confirmed by Duplex ultrasound scanning, and it was treated by ligation of the profunda femoris artery at the level of the pseudoaneurysm.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/931. Post-traumatic thoracic pseudoaneurysm repair with an endoluminal expandable stent.Recent technological improvement has allowed endoluminal correction of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm through percutaneous insertion of expandable stents. A woman who presented with chronic pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta 10 years after being in a car accident is presented. A Talent stent was introduced through the femoral artery and successfully deployed under fluoroscopic guidance across the aneurysmal defect. Recovery was uneventful, and 12 months later the patient remained asymptomatic.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/931. Pseudoaneurysm of the superficial femoral artery following accidental trauma: result of treatment by percutaneous stent-graft placement.Accidental trauma frequently involves the extremities, and can extend to involve their blood supply, causing exsanguinating hemorrhage and pseudoaneurysm in the involved blood vessel. This is traditionally managed by surgical repair. We report a case in which control of life-threatening hemorrhage and exclusion of a large, post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm in the superficial femoral artery was performed by a commercially available stent-graft, without complication. This treatment method may be a safe and effective alternative to surgery in selected patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/931. Pseudoaneurysm of subclavian artery--atypical presentation.We present a rare case of pseudoaneurysm of right subclavian artery who presented with supraclavicular mass. Injury of the subclavian artery causing pseudoaneurysm is a serious surgical emergency and a surgical intervention is indicated.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/931. Three ventriculoplasty techniques applied to three left-ventricular pseudoaneurysms in the same patient.A 59-year-old male patient underwent surgery for triple-vessel coronary artery disease and left-ventricular aneurysm in 1994. Four months after coronary artery bypass grafting and classical left-ventricular aneurysmectomy (with Teflon felt strips), a left-ventricular pseudoaneurysm developed due to infection, and this was treated surgically with an autologous glutaraldehyde-treated pericardium patch over which an omental pedicle graft was placed. Two months later, under emergent conditions, re-repair was performed with a diaphragmatic pericardial pedicle graft due to pseudoaneurysm reformation and rupture. A 3rd repair was required in a 3rd episode 8 months later. Sternocostal resection enabled implantation of the left pectoralis major muscle into the ventricular defect. Six months after the last surgical intervention, the patient died of cerebral malignancy. Pseudoaneurysm reformation, however, had not been observed. To our knowledge, our case is the 1st reported in the literature in which there have been 3 or more different operative techniques applied to 3 or more distinct episodes of pseudoaneurysm formation secondary to post-aneurysmectomy infection. We propose that pectoral muscle flaps be strongly considered as a material for re-repair of left-ventricular aneurysms.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.40134644762932keywords = artery, artery disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/931. iliac artery pseudoaneurysm following renal transplantation presenting as lumbosacral plexopathy.A renal transplant patient developed chronic and progressive back and lower extremity pain followed by foot weakness. The correct diagnosis of lumbosacral plexopathy was made after electromyography and nerve conduction studies and the etiology of radiculopathy due to nerve root compression was excluded. This prompted further investigations that led to the discovery of a large internal iliac artery pseudoaneurysm. We emphasize the use of electrodiagnostic studies to investigate patients with back and limb pain for correctly localizing responsible pathology. In this case a potentially lethal situation was correctly identified in a transplant patient.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/931. Acute hemorrhage into the peritoneal cavity--a complication of chronic pancreatitis with pseudocyst: a case report from clinical practice.Acute hemorrhage due to a pseudocyst of the pancreas is a dangerous complication of chronic pancreatitis (CP). Without operative treatment, mortality is as high as 90%. Immediate recognition of this complication as well as urgent operative treatment allowing the survival of 70% of patients is imperative. Described is the case of a patient with CP and pseudocyst in which hyperamylasemia and unclarified anemia developed following sudden abdominal pain. The suspicion of hemorrhage into the peritoneal cavity was confirmed by selective visceral angiography showing hemorrhage from the splenic artery in the region of the hilus of the spleen. Operative treatment was successful. During the procedure, a ligature was applied to the hemorrhaging splenic artery and a splenectomy was carried out with 2500 ml of bloody contents being removed from the abdominal cavity. Acute hemorrhage into the peritoneal cavity as a complication of chronic pancreatitis with pseudocyst (CPP) requires immediate identification, confirmation by visceral angiography, and urgent operative treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/931. Coronary artery aneurysm formation after balloon angioplasty and stent implantation.This study describes coronary angiographic and intravascular ultrasound evaluation of late coronary artery aneurysms after percutaneous balloon angioplasty and bailout stent implantation. Intravascular ultrasound distinguishes true aneurysms from pseudoaneurysms. The discussion is focused on the etiology and prognosis of this rare complication.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/931. Ultrasonographic evaluation of tumorous lesions in digital vessels.ultrasonography has recently been used for evaluation of various conditions in Orthopaedics. Ultrasonographic examination is a noninvasive screening test especially for soft tissue masses. ultrasonography is also a useful and essential diagnostic tool in cardiovascular disorders because real-time images of heart and vessels can be obtained. However, there have been few reports which describe ultrasonographic evaluation of tumorous lesions in digital vessels. In this paper, such lesions in two cases were evaluated by ultrasonography. An aneurysm of the digital artery is one of the definite candidates for ultrasonographic evaluation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
