Endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic anastomotic pseudoaneurysm. The experience of two centers.
2012
INTRODUCTION: Abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysms are a rare but serious complication of aortic surgery. Treatment with traditional open surgery is associated with a high rate of perioperative mortality and morbidity. Endovascular treatment is less invasive and guarantees lower mortality and morbidity rates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of short-, medium- and long-term endovascular treatment of these pseudoaneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Over the past 10 years, 14 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms, which developed after prior aortic surgery, underwent endovascular treatment involving implantation of an endoprosthesis at our institutions. Exclusion criteria were emerg…
Late carotid artery stent erosion and pseudoaneurysm after accidental hyperextension of the neck
2010
A 75-year-old man was referred to our unit complaining of a large pulsatile neck mass that appeared 2 days after an accidental fall and hyperextension of the neck. One month earlier, he was submitted to left carotid artery stenting for symptomatic high-grade stenosis. His medical history included diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, and a right femoropopliteal bypass for critical limb ischemia. At the time of admission, he was afebrile and had no evidence of local erythema, draining sinus, or leukocytosis. Moreover, C-reactive protein was 1 mg/dL. The clinical examination revealed a large swelling in the region of the left carotid bifurcation and mild dyspnea. Arterial duplex imaging…
How should I treat concomitant post-endarterectomy carotid pseudoaneurysm and contralateral symptomatic stenosis?
2010
Background A 74-year-old male patient complaining of crescendo TIAs, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia. Investigation Duplex ultrasound scan MR angiography. Diagnosis Pseudoaneurysm stemming from the ICA. Treatment An open or endovascular procedure for the right pECCA repair, or a left CEA or CAS.
Unusual case of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
2008
A 71 year-old man with a history of previous anterior myocardial infarction, triple coronary artery bypass graft and left ventricular (LV) aneurysmectomy was admitted to the cardiology unit for chest pain. Physical examination showed a pulsing mass in the left chest wall. Cardiac multislice computed tomography showed a rare case of LV pseudoaneurysm (6.3 x 6 x 10 cm) communicating by a fistulous trait (1 cm) with the left anterior chest wall (C7-C8), creating a subfascial mass (7.1 x 3.6 cm).
External iliac artery pseudoaneurysm complicating renal transplantation
2009
Objective: To assess the etiology, management and outcome of iliac pseudoaneurysms following renal transplantation. Methods: Eleven patients who underwent repair between 1982 and 2007 were identified. Five (Group 1) presented pseudoaneurysm at the anastomosis of the donor renal and native iliac arteries, and six (Group 2) presented iliac pseudoaneurysm following transplant nephrectomy. Intraoperative cultures and immunohistochemical examinations were obtained from all surgical cases to determine the existence of a relationship between infection or transplant rejection and pseudoaneurysm formation. Results: Endovascular repair (EVR) was used to treat three patients, while eight patients unde…
Branch ligatures and blood aspiration for post-traumatic superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm: surgical technique
2014
The aim of this study is to report a new minimally invasive technique of superficial temporal artery (STA) pseudoaneurysm treatment. Several surgical options have been employed to treat STA pseudoaneurysms. To address this rare condition, the employed techniques are ligation and excision of the aneurysm, endovascular coil embolization or percutaneous ultrasound-guided thrombin injection. Between techniques no significant differences are reported in terms of outcomes. The decision to adopt a technique depends on STA pseudoaneurysm morphology and surgeon preference. In the present report, STA pseudoaneurysm afferent and efferent branches were identified by ultrasound in a 92-year-old female. …
Vascular complications on arterial puncture site after coronaric and peripheral angiography
2011
Il cateterismo cardiaco, l'angiografia coronarica e periferica e le procedure interventistiche sono tecniche contrastografiche che prevedono la visualizzazione radiografica dei vasi coronarici e periferici dopo l'iniezione selettiva di mezzo di contrasto radiopaco. Si tratta di tecniche relativamente sicure, anche se esiste un certo rischio di morbilità e mortalità. Nel nostro studio abbiamo valutato le varie complicanze mettendole in relazione con fattori demografici e clinici, terapie, caratteristiche della puntura e della procedura.
Iatrogenic lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm after lumbar transpedicular fixation: Case report
2019
Only a few cases of iatrogenic lumbar injury have been reported in the literature. A 58-year-old male with severe back pain was admitted to our department. The patient was qualified for the transpedicular stabilization with interbody fixation at L4/L5 and L5/S1 levels. On the first day after surgery, the patient was mobile and reported significant pain relief. He was discharged the same day. After 2 weeks, the patient returned with severe right lower abdominal pain and radicular pain in his right leg. He was administered to the Neurology Department where the presence of a lumbar muscle hematoma and lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm were discovered. He was transferred to the Vascular Surgery Depa…
