Yttrium-90 radioembolization for unresectable hepatic metastases of breast cancer: A systematic review.

Background: Liver metastases secondary to breast cancer are associated with unfavourable prognosis. Radioembolization with ytrrium-90 is an emerging option for management of liver metastases of breast cancer when other systemic therapies have failed to achieve disease control. However, unlike the case of other liver tumours (colorectal/melanoma metastases/cholangiocarcinoma), its role in the management of breast liver metastases is yet to be elucidated.

A rare case of giant coronary artery aneurysm in the context of multiple arterial aneurysms.

Introduction: Whilst the incidence of CAA has been reported as up to 5%, giant CAA (>2cm) is rare.

Presentation Of Case: We present a rare case of 3cm×4cm giant coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) in the context of aorto-iliac aneurysmal disease, treated by staged open surgical repair.

Discussion: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and CAA share risk factors and aetiological mechanisms, therefore should be considered, particularly when CAA is diagnosed in the first instance.
