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. However, conventional surgical and transcatheter arterial embolization treatments are less effective. The patient's clinical status was stable during the 4-year follow-up.

An accessory renal aneurysm in a patient with absent renal artery: a case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionThis study reports a patient who developed a secondary renal artery aneurysm (RAA) after occlusion of the main renal artery.MethodsA 25-year-old woman was hospitalized due to an enlarged renal artery aneurysm (RAA). The left kidney function remained normal, allowing successful aneurysm embolization.

Abstract 101: Ophthalmic Artery Aneurysm Embolization Resulting in Resolution of Headaches and Visual Symptoms

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionCerebral aneurysms are a rare cause of headaches and visual symptoms. While most unruptured aneurysms are asymptomatic, when symptoms do occur, they are most often headaches, cranial nerve palsies, or bilateral temporal hemianopsia due to compression of surrounding nerves or the optic chiasm.

Abstract 111: Woven Endo Bridge?Coil Embolization of a Middle Cerebral Artery Bifurcation Aneurysm with Secondary Lobule

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Introduction18‐36% of all intracranial aneurysms are middle cerebral artery(MCA) bifurcation aneurysms. 1) MCA bifurcation aneurysms have been historically challenging to treat endovascularly given they often have complex morphology and wide necks. Final angiography revealed complete occlusion of the aneurysm.

Abstract 088: Treatment of a Ruptured AVM with Inflow Aneurysms: Mixed approach using coil and liquid embolization

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Life‐threatening bleeds may occur from the AVM nidus or associated aneurysms. Two large inflow aneurysms, felt to be the rupture site, projecting from the proximal left pericallosal artery were also demonstrated. An incidental ACA aneurysm was also noted. Onyx‐18 was then injected into the main AVM pedicle under a blank roadmap.

Acute Dyspnea and Right Bundle Branch Block

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Ken (below) is appropriately worried about pulmonary embolism from the ECG. LV aneurysm has QS-waves, so this couldn't be LV aneurysm, right? RBBB makes it mandatory that there are R'-waves even in the presence of LV aneurysm. Patients with anterior LV aneurysm usually have poor LV function and heart failure.

Abstract 180: A Prospective, Single?Center Study Appraising Aneurysm Embolization using the Balt Optima™ Coil System (APPLY Study)

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionIntracranial aneurysms, both ruptured and unruptured, pose a significant risk to the general population. Cases of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) are estimated to affect roughly 3% of the general population and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have an incidence of 8 to 9 people per 100,000.
