Abnormal echocardiographic finding mimicking paracardiac cystic lesion

Heart BMJ

Previous medical interventions included a spectrum of procedures, including catheter-directed thrombectomy for popliteal artery aneurysms with thrombosis, vascular bypass grafting for cerebral-anterior communicating artery aneurysms and arch replacement and stent implantation for aortic dissecting aneurysms.

Abstract 172: Outcomes and Complications of Stent?Assisted Aneurysm Repair in Acute Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionThe use of detachable coils for endovascular embolization of cerebral aneurysms has become a safe and effective alternative to direct surgical clipping in patients with ruptured aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Immediate complete occlusion and occlusion with residual neck was achieved in 66.7%

Abstract 005: Outcomes of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia Type II in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Patients

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

HIT patients had significantly higher rates of deep vein thrombosis (p < 0.01), pulmonary embolism (p < 0.01), central venous sinus thrombosis (p = 0.01), pneumonia (p < 0.01), urinary tract infection (p < 0.01), acute kidney injury (p < 0.01), and cerebral vasospasm (p < 0.01).

Abstract 022: Acute Kidney Injury in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Exploring its Clinical Significance and Prognostic Implications

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionSubarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) resulting from the spontaneous rupture of an aneurysm is a rare and highly debilitating condition. Despite its severity, patients with aneurysmal SAH remain understudied, particularly concerning the evaluation of the incidence and consequences of subsequent acute kidney injury (AKI).

Abstract TP7: A Case Series of Spontaneous Thrombosis With a Conservative Approach to Posterior Spinal Artery Aneurysm Management

Stroke Journal

Ruptured spinal artery aneurysms, <1% of SAH, pose challenges in understanding and management. In contrast to intracranial aneurysms, they often manifest with symptoms like back pain and possibly myelopathy. Our study presents five cases of spinal SAH from posterior spinal artery aneurysms.

Old ‘NSTEMI’ A history of coronary artery disease and a stent to the same territory further increases pre-test likelihood of acute coronary occlusion, including in-stent thrombosis. Smith : Old inferior MI with persistent ST Elevation ("inferior aneurysm") has well-formed Q-waves. Does this change your interpretation?

A teenager with chest pain, a troponin below the limit of detection, and "benign early repolarization"

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Repeat CT angio chest (not CT coronary, unclear what protocol) showed possible LAD aneurysm and thrombus. Finally, coronary angiography was performed (at least 5 days after presentation) which confirmed LAD aneurysm with large thrombus burden, TIMI 0 flow, thrombectomy performed. No further cath details available.
