1/113. Bronchial artery aneurysm.Two patients with giant bronchial artery aneurysm at the origin of the bronchial artery from the descending aorta were successfully treated. Both of them had been given a diagnosis of bronchiectasis and found with hemoptysis. One was a 64-year-old woman treated with transcatheter arterial embolization, and the other was a 64-year-old woman treated with surgical ligation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/113. Popliteal venous aneurysm mimicking a soft tissue tumour. A case report.A case of a giant, thrombosed popliteal venous aneurysm without pulmonary embolism in a 53-year-old woman is reported. Despite thorough preoperative investigation including ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, this was misdiagnosed as a benign soft tissue tumour. During the operation the thrombosed venous aneurysm was resected and a vein graft from the contralateral saphenous vein was interposed. Popliteal venous aneurysm is a rare entity, presenting occasionally with local signs and symptoms and more often with pulmonary embolism. The clinician should therefore keep this in mind whenever dealing with a large, soft tissue popliteal fossa mass or looking for the cause of recurrent pulmonary embolism.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/113. pulmonary artery compression by a giant aortocoronary vein graft aneurysm.Late failure of saphenous vein aortocoronary bypass grafts is predominantly due to vein graft atherosclerotic disease. Rarely, saphenous vein aortocoronary bypass grafts undergo aneurysmal degeneration. We report a case of a giant true aneurysm of a saphenous vein aortocoronary bypass graft producing right heart failure from main pulmonary artery compression.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/113. Giant aneurysm of the splenic artery--a case report.Giant aneurysms of the splenic artery larger than 10 cm are rare. The size of splenic aneurysms rarely exceeds 3 cm. Aneurysms that are often symptomatic because of their size must be treated rapidly before rupture. An etiologic and diagnostic evaluation with computed tomography and selective angiography of the visceral arteries is essential before treatment. Operative indication is imperative for these aneurysms. Their mass with portal compression and dense adhesions to adjacent organs allow only aneurysmal exclusion by proximal and distal ligation with preservation of the spleen. The control of the proximal splenic artery is often difficult, justifying the choice of the surgical access. A case of surgically treated giant splenic artery aneurysm associated with right benign renal lesion is presented with a review of the literature on this subject.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/113. vertebral artery aneurysms.vertebral artery (VA) aneurysms are rare. We present our experience with three cases of VA aneurysms. Two aneurysms were located close to the origin of basilar artery while the third patient had a giant posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm. These aneurysms were operated by the far lateral inferior suboccipital approach with good results.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/113. hepatic artery aneurysm in a patient with Behcets disease and segmental pancreatitis developing after its embolization.Segmental pancreatitis is an unusual form of acute pancreatitis mostly seen in the head of pancreas. We present the CT findings of a segmental pancreatitis in the body and tail of the pancreas developed following endovascular embolization of a giant hepatic artery aneurysm and arterioportal fistula in a patient with Behcet's disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/113. Imaging findings in a giant hepatic artery aneurysm.A rare case of relatively asymptomatic giant hepatic artery aneurysm of atherosclerotic aetiology is presented. The importance of imaging findings in the diagnosis of this condition and the differential diagnosis including the pertinent literature on the topic is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/113. A variant form of churg-strauss syndrome: initial temporal non-giant cell arteritis followed by asthma--is this a distinct clinicopathologic entity?The clinical manifestations of the classical vasculitis syndromes are extraordinarily heterogenous with considerable overlap among them. Recently, several cases of unusual presentation of the vasculitis syndromes have been reported. We describe a patient who initially manifested with temporal arteritis and Raynaud's phenomenon and subsequently developed bronchial asthma, ie, a case of an atypical form of churg-strauss syndrome (allergic angiitis and granulomatosis) and discuss whether this case is a distinct clinicopathological entity.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/113. Surgical management of thrombosed popliteal artery aneurysm: two case reports.popliteal artery aneurysm is not a rare event and is the most common type of peripheral arterial aneurysm. The Authors report on their experience with two cases. One patient had a giant popliteal aneurysm and was treated with a dacron patch, while the other had a smaller one and was treated with an inverse saphenous vein bypass. The Authors stress the importance of a thorough study of the patients in order to rule out aneurysmal disease in other sites. They conclude that early surgical intervention is the only effective therapeutic tool to avoid serious complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/113. gastric outlet obstruction caused by a giant gastroduodenal artery aneurysm: a case report.Gastric outlet (GO) obstruction in an adult is usually caused by intrinsic gastric or duodenal lesions or pancreatic tumours. This study describes a case of a 77-year-old man who developed GO obstruction due to extrinsic compression from a large gastroduodenal artery aneurysm under rupture. This cause of GO obstruction has never previously been reported in the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
