Case Report: Combined transcatheter arterial embolization and aortic stent-graft have better efficacy for bronchial artery aneurysms

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is a rare and fatal condition that requires immediate treatment. In the present case, a 76-year-old hypertensive woman was admitted with dizziness and diagnosed with an unruptured bronchial artery aneurysm, which was treated by transcatheter arterial embolization and aortic stent-graft.

A bibliometric analysis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (2014–2024)

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundAbdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized bulge of the abdominal aorta, which mainly manifests as a pulsatile mass in the abdomen. Once an abdominal aortic aneurysm ruptures, the patient's life is seriously endangered. Surgery is the preferred treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Application of three-dimensional printing in the planning and execution of aortic aneurysm repair

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionThe accuracy of fenestrations in stent grafts for complex aortic aneurysms and dissections can be significantly improved using three-dimensional (3D)-printed phantoms. Standardization is enhanced by using artificial intelligence (AI) for image pre-processing before 3D printing.

Endovascular management of a spontaneous aorto-caval fistula resulting from abdominal aortic aneurysm: case report and literature review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundAorto-caval fistula is a rare complication of abdominal aortic aneurysms that can occur spontaneously, iatrogenically, or traumatically, associated with high morbidity and mortality. Computed tomography angiography revealed an aorto-caval fistula complicating infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Placement of stent grafts with different calibers into the true and false lumens of anastomotic aneurysms after descending aortic replacement for aortic dissection

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Anastomotic aneurysms present as a life-threatening emergency after descending aortic replacement for aortic dissection. Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) has been performed since the early 2000s f.
