Treatment of pseudoaneurysm of internal maxillary artery: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Pseudoaneurysms are rare lesions secondary to blunt or penetrating trauma, temporomandibular joint surgery, or orthognathic surgery. Nonsurgical interventions are the treatment of choice for pseudoaneurysms. In the case reported here, endovascular injection of acrylic glue was successful in the treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the internal maxillary artery secondary to fracture of the zygomatic bone.

Iatrogenic popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm: A case report.

Project description:BackgroundPopliteal artery pseudoaneurysm is a state of vascular wall rupture in the popliteal artery. It is generally a rare situation and the most common etiologic factor is iatrogenic causes.Case presentationThis case report presents a successful diagnosis and management of a 31-year-old patient who was presented with a mass behind the knee, three months after femoropopliteal bypass for the treatment of a gunshot to the knee. An endovascular approach using coils was utilized for the patient, which led to complete remission for the patient.DiscussionThe current patient had two primary therapeutic challenges: bleeding and hematoma growth, clot development causing blood flow restriction, and limb ischemia. Pseudoaneurysm also caused internal inflammation, which increased the risk of thrombosis and bypass graft damage during open surgery. Due to the risk of recurrence and graft damage, ultrasound-guided compression was not possible. Thus, endovascular therapy was preferred.ConclusionThe endovascular approach using coils is an option for the management of PAP. However, the endovascular approach should be considered carefully according to the patient's status.

Pseudoaneurysm of the internal maxillary artery: a rare complication of condylar fracture.

Project description:Pseudoaneurysms are among very rare complications of maxillofacial trauma. When encountered, they have the potential to cause life-threatening hemorrhage. A wise surgeon should consider the possibility of underlying aneurysm even if the classic sign of pulsatile mass is not present. The role of interventional radiology is immaculate in the management of these aneurysms.

Internal maxillary artery (IMax) - middle cerebral artery bypass in a patient with bilateral atherosclerotic carotid occlusion: A technical case report.

Project description:Since the first description of the possible utilization of the internal maxillary artery for bypass surgery, there are some reports of its use in aneurysm cases; however, there is no information about the possible advantages of this type of bypass for cerebral ischemic disease. We present a 77-year-old man with a history of diabetes, hypertension, systemic atherosclerosis, and two acute myocardial infarctions with left hemiparesis. Imaging studies reported total occlusion of the right internal carotid artery and 75% occlusion on the left side, with an old opercular infarction and repeated transient ischemic attacks in the right middle cerebral artery territory despite medical treatment. After a consensus, we decided to perform a bypass from the internal maxillary artery to the M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery using a radial artery graft. After performing the proximal anastomosis, the calculated graft's free flow was 216 ml/min. Subsequently, after completing the bypass, the patency was confirmed with fluorescein videoangiography and intraoperative Doppler. Postoperatively, imaging studies showed improvement in the perfusion values and the hemiparesis from 3/5 to 4+/5. The patient was discharged one week after the operation, with a modified Rankin scale of 1, without added deficits. The use of revascularization techniques in steno-occlusive disease indicates a select group of patients that may benefit from this procedure. In addition, internal maxillary artery bypass has provided a safe option for large areas of ischemia that cannot be supplied with a superficial temporal artery - middle cerebral artery bypass.

Pulmonary Artery Pseudoaneurysm due to Mucormycosis: Case Report and Literature Review

Project description:Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (PAP) is a rare vascular phenomenon with a high mortality rate, as these entities can enlarge, rupture, and lead to asphyxiation. Pulmonary mucormycosis (PM), an underdiagnosed but an increasingly seen entity in the era of chemotherapy and immunosuppression, is a known cause of PAP, and should be suspected in immunosuppressed patients with hemoptysis. We present a case of PAP due to PM in a patient with recently diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the liver who underwent chemotherapy and developed acute cavitary lung disease and hemoptysis. His diagnosis was delayed due to the withholding of iodinated contrast with computer tomography (CT) imaging in the setting of renal failure. He then underwent embolization of his PAP with resolution of his hemoptysis. PAP is an uncommon cause of hemoptysis that can be diagnosed with CT pulmonary angiography, and mucormycosis is a known but rare cause of PAP in patients with malignancy receiving immunosuppression.

Left maxillary artery pseudoaneurysm: a rare and late postoperative complication after head and neck cancer treatment.

Project description:We report a case of a 50-year-old man presented with pulsatile swelling in the left side of the face since 2 months and a continuous sinus discharge since 3 days. Three years earlier, he was operated for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the left lower alveolus and underwent surgical excision with myocutaneous flap reconstruction, followed by chemoradiotherapy. CT angiogram of the expansile swelling revealed pseudoaneurysm of third part of the left maxillary artery and treated by surgical intervention.

Angio-Seal Closure for Traumatic Left Subclavian Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Case Report.

Project description:Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms are rare and associated with high morbidity and mortality. Alternative approaches to open surgical repair can include endovascular repair or ultrasound-guided thrombin injection. Here, we describe a safe and novel technique of closure of a subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm with Angio-Seal that was unresponsive to thrombin injection and in a difficult location for open repair.

Endovascular treatment for traumatic thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm: a case report.

Project description:Cases of an endovascular treatment for traumatic aortic injury are extremely rare. A prompt diagnosis of traumatic thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm through a 3-dimensional computed tomographic angiography of aorta and emergency repair are mandatory to rescue the life-threatening condition. An endovascular treatment is a trend for traumatic aortic injury because of lower invasivity, morbidity and mortality. We reported a rare case of traumatic aortic injury with thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm definitively diagnosed by the reconstructional computed tomographic angiography of aorta and successfully treated with endovascular stent-graft.

Coil embolization of a thoracic aorta hematoma with branch artery pseudoaneurysm - case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:A thoracic aorta hematoma with branch artery pseudonaneurysm is a very rare complication of thoraric blunt trauma. The standard treatment of this type of injury is aortic endograft placement. CASE PRESENTATION:We present a case in which a thoracic aorta hematoma with branch artery pseudoaneurysm was treated with coil embolization instead of endografting. CONCLUSIONS:Coil embolization of aortic injuries may be a safe and definitive treatment alternative in selected cases. This technique has the potential to reduce the risk of procedure-related complications.

Case report: Recurrent hemobilia due to hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm mimicking gastrointestinal tract bleeding

Project description:Hemobilia, a rare form of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), is a potentially fatal complication that usually occurs after iatrogenic hepatobiliary trauma. However, hemobilia is clinically challenging to diagnose and often gets too late to diagnose. We herein report a case of recurrent hemobilia due to hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm (HAP) that was initially misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal tract bleeding. However, the patient was treated successfully with percutaneous coil occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm. This case illustrates that hemobilia can present as a mimic of gastrointestinal tract bleeding, but this is often difficult to diagnose at first glance and often misleads clinicians, especially emergency physicians, into making an incorrect diagnosis. Familiarity with the clinical features of hemobilia can help raise clinical suspicion and facilitate the early diagnosis and treatment of hemobilia.

Balloon-mounted covered stent as endovascular management of a traumatic cervical internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm in a 23-year-old: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundDistal cervical internal carotid artery (cICA) pseudoaneurysms are uncommon. They may lead to thromboembolic or hemorrhagic complications, especially in young adults. We report one of the first cases in the literature regarding the management via PK Papyrus (Biotronik, Lake Oswego, Oregon, USA) balloon-mounted covered stent of a 23-year-old male with an enlarging cervical carotid artery pseudoaneurysm and progressive internal carotid artery stenosis.Case descriptionWe report the management of a 23-year-old male with an enlarging cervical carotid artery pseudoaneurysm and progressive internal carotid artery stenosis. Based on clinical judgment and imaging analysis, the best option to seal the aneurysm was a PK Papyrus 5×26 balloon-mounted covered stent. A follow-up angiogram showed no residual filling of the pseudoaneurysm, but there was some contrast stagnation just proximal to the stent, which is consistent with a residual dissection flap. We then deployed another PK Papyrus 5×26 balloon-mounted covered stent, providing some overlap at the proximal end of the stent. An angiogram following this subsequent deployment demonstrated complete reconstruction of the cICA with no residual evidence of pseudoaneurysm or dissection flap. There were no residual in-stent stenosis or vessel stenosis. The patient was discharged the day after the procedure with no complications.ConclusionsThese positive outcomes support the use of a balloon-mounted covered stent as a safe and feasible modality with high technical success for endovascular management of pseudoaneurysm.
