1/224. Aorto--bronchial fistula resulting from an accidental fall one year earlier.A 75-year-old woman presented with massive haemoptysis 12 months after tripping over her shopping trolley. CT scanning and transoesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a traumatic false aneurysm which was confirmed at surgery to be partially ruptured. Aortobronchial fistula is an unusual cause of massive haemoptysis. It should be considered particularly in patients known to have abnormalities of the thoracic aorta.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |

3/224. Non-penetrating subclavian artery trauma: management by selective transluminally placed stent device.Non-penetrating injury to the subclavian artery has not often been reported. The limited experience of surgeons with this type of trauma and the difficult vascular control required for its management make it a surgical challenge. We report on two cases, one after blunt trauma and the other with a subclavian artery aneurysm following anterior dislocation of the shoulder. Percutaneous stent implantation in the subclavian artery was successfully performed with, in the second case, coil embolization of the aneurysm. Follow-up Doppler sonography and angiogram demonstrated patency and luminal integrity of the involved artery. This less invasive procedure may be a significant advance and a new approach in the conservative management of traumatic subclavian injury for selected cases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/224. Traumatic ileocolic pseudoaneurysm: diagnosis and transcatheter treatment.Injuries to branches of the superior mesenteric artery are unusual and often difficult to diagnose, yet require prompt recognition and treatment to prevent exsanguinating hemorrhage or bowel ischemia. This report describes a unique case of an ileocolic artery pseudoaneurysm diagnosed using delayed CT imaging and definitively treated by transcatheter embolization. Cathet. Cardiovasc.

5/224. Tibial artery false aneurysm: uncommon result of blunt injury occurring during athletics.Two young men presented with symptoms following lower extremity injuries sustained in the normal course of participation in sports. One played baseball while the other competed in Tae Kwon Do. One case presented with digital ischemia, the other developed a pulsating hematoma. Each came to angiography, and each proved to have a false aneurysm of a tibial artery. The tibial artery was ligated in each case, without further complications. The patient with digital ischemia was thought to have sustained microemboli, and also underwent lumbar sympathectomy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |

7/224. Posttraumatic infrarenal abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm.Posttraumatic abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rare lesion. To date, fewer than 30 cases have been reported in the literature, with most of those cases involving the suprarenal aorta. Infrarenal posttraumatic abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm following abdominal trauma has been reported in only 6 other cases. We observed such a lesion in a 62-year-old man 15 years after blunt abdominal trauma inflicted in a car accident. back pain was the presenting symptom. Resection and Dacron graft interposition were performed without postoperative morbidity.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 113.81279288703keywords = pseudoaneurysm, aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/224. The relationship of blunt head trauma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and rupture of pre-existing intracranial saccular aneurysms.patients with a history of closed head trauma and subarachnoid hemorrhage are uncommonly diagnosed with an intracranial saccular aneurysm. This study presents a group of patients in whom a pre-existing aneurysm was discovered during work-up for traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Without an accurate pre-trauma clinical history, it is difficult to define the relationship between trauma and the rupture of a pre-existing intracranial saccular aneurysm. We retrospectively reviewed 130 patients who presented to Detroit Receiving Hospital between 1993 and 1997 with a diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Of these 130 patients, 70 were spontaneous, and 60 had a history of trauma. Mechanisms of trauma include motor vehicle accident, assault, or fall from a height. Of the 60 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and a history of trauma, 51 (86%) did not undergo conventional four-vessel angiography, and had no further neurological sequelae. Nine patients (14%) had a suspicious quantity of blood within the basal cisterns or Sylvian fissure and had a four-vessel angiogram. Five patients (8%) were diagnosed with a saccular intracranial aneurysm, and all underwent surgical clipping of the aneurysm. We conclude that the majority of patients (92%), with post-traumatic SAH do not harbor intracranial aneurysms. However, during initial evaluation, a high level of suspicion must be entertained when post-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage is encountered in the basal cisterns or Sylvian fissure, as 8% of our population were diagnosed with aneurysms.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 11keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/224. ulnar nerve compression secondary to ulnar artery true aneurysm at Guyon's canal.This article presents a case of ulnar nerve compression at the Guyon's canal caused by a true aneurysm of the ulnar artery secondary to blunt trauma. The duration of follow-up was one year. SETTING: Hospitalized care. A 27-year-old man who worked in an office fell on to a gravel path landing on his out-stretched right hand. decompression of the ulnar nerve was made by simple ligation of the damaged artery and resection of aneurysm. MEASURES: Histological examination. The sensory symptoms disappeared two days after the operation. At one year after surgery, the patient was completely asymptomatic. There was no residual cold intolerance. Simple ligation of the damaged artery and resection of aneurysm resulted satisfactory. It seemed to be a safe method in this case. ulnar nerve compression due to a true aneurysm of the ulnar artery in the Guyon's canal is rarely described in the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 8keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/224. Endovascular repair of an innominate artery false aneurysm following blunt trauma.PURPOSE: To describe a case of endovascular graft exclusion of an innominate artery pseudoaneurysm arising from blunt trauma. methods AND RESULTS: A 21-year-old patient was admitted following a major road accident. Computed tomography (CT) and aortography on admission disclosed an isolated innominate artery pseudoaneurysm. The lesion was stable, so an elective endoluminal repair was undertaken once the patient was treated for his other injuries. The right carotid artery was exposed and controlled, and the aneurysm was excluded by transluminal implantation of a customized stent-graft consisting of predilated polytetrafluoroethylene graft material covering a balloon-expandable Palmaz stent. A CT scan at 1 month and duplex scans at 6-month intervals documented good stent-graft positioning and aneurysm exclusion over a period of 18 months. CONCLUSIONS: This case illustrates the potential durability of endoluminal repair of innominate artery lesions and highlights the potential role of this minimally invasive alternative to surgery in these clinical situations.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 43.937597629011keywords = pseudoaneurysm, aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
