    Rupture of radiation-induced internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm in a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma,Spontaneous occlusion of carotid artery due to long-term embolizing performance,

    Abstract Background Rupture of internal carotid artery (ICA) pseudoaneurysm is a lethal complication in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Angiography is the best diagnostic and treatment method. The aim of embolization is to block the pseudoaneurysm; but sometimes, total occlusion of great vessels is ineludible. We describe a case of NPC post-radiation therapy and with ruptured pseudoaneurysm treated by angio-embolization. Methods The patient had received embolization with numerous tools such as stent grafts, balloons, and bare stents with or without filter protection. Results After failing to pass through the narrow lumen by embolizing tools, the right ICA finally occluded spontaneously by self-thrombosis. Conclusion Although the angio-embolization is a good method to resolve the problems of ruptured pseudoaneurysm, there is still high mortality and morbidity. Being aware of the clinical presentations and the changes of images may alert us to predict the happening earlier. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2008 [source]

    Renal artery pseudoaneurysm after laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in a solitary kidney

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF UROLOGY, Issue 7 2005
    HIROMITSU NEGORO
    Abstract Renal artery pseudoaneurysms are a well-documented complication following trauma or percutaneous urological procedures, but are rare after partial nephrectomy. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman who, after undergoing a left nephrectomy in childhood due to Wilms' tumor, had a pseudoaneurysm in a solitary kidney after laparoscopic right partial nephrectomy with extraperitoneal approach for a renal cell carcinoma. The segmental renal artery feeding the pseudoaneurysm was embolized with coils without significant loss of residual renal function. [source]

    Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm , duodenal fistula after living donor liver transplant

    CLINICAL TRANSPLANTATION, Issue 6 2004

    Abstract:, A 38-yr-old woman who underwent living donor liver transplant for alcoholic cirrhosis presented 2 months after transplant with gastrointestinal bleeding from an hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm eroding into the duodenum. She underwent endovascular hepatic artery stenting, resulting in cessation of hemorrhage and salvage of the graft. [source]

    Endovascular-covered stent treatment of posttraumatic cervical carotid artery pseudoaneurysms

    Summary Pseudoaneurysm involving the cervical portion of the carotid artery can result from prior trauma or dissection. Two patients are reported with posttraumatic carotid artery pseudoaneurysms. In both cases, endovascular-covered stents were placed across the diseased portion of the artery resulting in thrombosis of the aneurysm and preservation of the parent artery without any significant complication. It is therefore concluded that covered stent placement is an alternative approach in treating carotid artery pseudoaneurysms. [source]
