Testicular infarction: A rare complication of endovascular aneurysm repair treatment for aortoiliac aneurysm
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 10/07/2009
|
McKenna AJ et al. – The authors report the case of a 67–year–old man with an asymptomatic, large infrarenal AAA with an associated left common iliac artery aneurysm. Endovascular therapy for an aortoiliac aneurysm involved prior ... to the external iliac artery of the left graft limb, thus excluding the left iliac aneurysm. He presented 6 weeks postoperatively with onset of left–sided scrotal pain and underwent emergency orchidectomy for ischemic infarction of his left testis.

Recurrence of a popliteal venous aneurysm
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 10/21/2009
|
Falls G et al. – The authors report the case of a 40–year–old man with a recurrent popliteal vein aneurysm diagnosed 2 years after initial lateral aneurysmectomy. Definitive management consisted of popliteal vein aneurysm resection and ... spiral vein graft. This case suggests that aneurysm vein resection and interposition vein graft should be the preferred surgical option. Also, patients treated may benefit from longer follow–up in light of the potential morbidity from recurrence if undetected.

Ruptured right posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm associated with hypoplasia of the right vertebral artery and both internal carotid arteries
British Journal of Neurosurgery, 10/01/2009
|
Kim DS et al. – The authors report an extremely rare case of a ruptured saccular aneurysm of the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA ... internal carotid arteries (ICAs) and the right vertebral artery (VA). The aneurysm was successfully treated by clipping of the aneurysm itself using a lateral suboccipital approach.

In Vivo Imaging of the Aneurysm Wall With MRI and a Macrophage-Specific Contrast Agent
American Journal of Roentgenology, 11/06/2009
|
Truijers M et al. – USPIO uptake is limited or absent in the wall of normal–sized aortas and most aneurysms. However, individual abdominal aortic aneurysms exhibit high levels of USPIO uptake ... macrophage infiltration in the aneurysm wall.

Aneurysm of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery-posterior inferior cerebellar artery variant: two case reports and review of literature
British Journal of Neurosurgery, 10/01/2009
|
Gopalakrishnan CV et al. – Aneurysms arising from anterior inferior cerebellar artery–posterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA–PICA ... rare. The authors report two cases of distal AICA–PICA variant aneurysms and discuss their surgical management with emphasis on the higher risk for perforator artery injury. The etiopathogenesis of these rare aneurysms at non–branching sites remains elusive.

Intracranial infectious aneurysms: a comprehensive review
Neurosurgical Review, 11/02/2009
|
Ducruet AF et al. – The literature supports the administration of antibiotics in conjunction with surgical or endovascular intervention depending on the character and location of the aneurysm, as well as the clinical status of the patient. Mycotic aneurysms ... comprise an important subtype of potentially life–threatening cerebrovascular lesions, and further prospective studies are warranted to define outcome following both conservative and surgical or endovascular treatment.

Recurrent popliteal vein aneurysm
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 10/21/2009
|
Gasparis AP et al. – A 28–year–old female presented with a soft mass in the left popliteal fossa. She had a popliteal vein aneurysm repair 4 years ago. Magnetic resonance venography and ultrasound revealed a recurrent saccular aneurysm on the site of the ... measured 3 × 4 cm and had no thrombus. The aneurysm was resected, and as the vein had adequate length, it was primarily repaired with an end–to–end anastomosis.

A patient with aneurysms of both aortic coronary sinuses of Valsalva obstructing both ventricular outflow tracts
Cardiology in the Young, 10/26/2009
|
Vijayalakshmi IB et al. – Congenital unruptured aneurysms affecting both the right and left sinuses of Valsalva are extremely rare. To the best of their knowledge, there has been ... case. The authors report here a patient presenting with congestive cardiac failure who also had unruptured aneurysms of both the right and left sinuses of Valsalva. The aneurysms produced obstruction of the outflow tracts of both ventricles, burrowing as they did into the muscular ventricular septum

Bypass Surgery for Complex Brain Aneurysms: An Assessment of Intracranial-Intracranial Bypass
Neurosurgery, 10/01/2009
|
Sanai N et al. – IC–IC bypasses compare favorably to EC–IC bypasses in terms of aneurysm obliteration rates, bypass patency rates, and neurological outcomes. IC–IC bypasses can be ... arterial occlusions. IC–IC bypass can replace conventional EC–IC bypass with more anatomic reconstructions for selected aneurysms involving the middle cerebral artery, posteroinferior cerebellar artery, anterior cerebral artery, and basilar apex.

Emergency Endovascular Treatment of Sac Rupture for Type IIIa Endoleak in Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Previously Excluded with Endovascular Repair
Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, 11/02/2009
|
Carrafiello G et al. – The complications of thoracic aortic stenting are also well recognized. Endoleak after endovascular repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms is the most frequent complication; among ... is generally performed under elective conditions; less frequently, in emergency. The authors report a successful emergency endovascular management of post–thoracic endovascular repair for thoracic aortic aneurysm rupture due to type IIIa endoleak.
