Endovascular coil embolisation of radial artery pseudoaneurysm: a case report and literature review
Abstract Background: Radial artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) is a rare but recognised complication of transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with an incidence of 0.009–0.2%. Management depends on pseudoaneurysm size, morphology and patient factors. While conservative measures are often effective for small lesions, larger or symptomatic pseudoaneurysms may require surgical or endovascular intervention. Case report: A 77-year-old…
Splenic artery pseudoaneurysm presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding successfully treated by endovascular embolisation: a case report
Abstract Background: A splenic artery pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon vascular lesion accounting for less than 3% of splenic artery aneurysmal lesions, associated with a high risk of rupture (37–47%) and mortality rates up to 90%. Its clinical presentation is often non-specific and may include upper gastrointestinal bleeding, making early diagnosis crucial. Case presentation: An 80-year-old…
Aberrant retro-psoas course of the left common iliac artery on CT
Abstract Retro-psoas course of the common iliac artery is an extremely rare anatomical variant with important procedural implications. In this case report we describe a 60-year-old man who presented with acute abdominal pain and was found to have a left common iliac artery traveling posterior to the psoas major muscle. Imaging also revealed a high…
Giant aneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery: a rare pathology
Abstract True aneurysms of the dorsalis pedis artery are extremely rare. This case report describes a 53-year-old male patient who presented with a rapidly enlarging pulsatile lump at the dorsum of his right foot. Imaging studies confirmed this to be a true aneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery. As the large lesion was causing functional…
Surgical repair of a right proximal radial artery true aneurysm: case report and literature review
Abstract True radial artery aneurysms (RAAs) are exceptionally rare. We report a case of a 33-year-old man with an idiopathic fusiform true aneurysm of the proximal right radial artery, managed successfully via resection and reversed ipsilateral cephalic vein interposition bypass. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with preserved distal perfusion and no complications at 6-month follow-up. This…
