Endovascular management of peripheral arterial trauma in patients presenting in hemorrhagic shock.

Aim: This study investigated patients who sustained peripheral arterial trauma, presented with clinical signs of shock, and underwent urgent endovascular repair (endo-R).

Methods: Eighteen patients (11 men) aged 62.8 ± 17.

Two-dimensional versus three-dimensional CT angiography in analysis of anatomical suitability for stentgraft repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Background: The morphological analysis prior to endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR) plays an important role in long-term outcomes. Post-imaging analysis of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) by three-dimensional reconstruction with central lumen line detection (CLL 3D-CTA) enables measurements to be made in orthogonal slices. This might be more precise than equal post-imaging analysis in axial slices by two-dimensional computed tomographic angiography (2D-CTA).

Partial Splenic Embolization: successful treatment of hypersplenism, secondary to biliary cirrhosis and portal hypertension in cystic fibrosis.

Partial Splenic Embolization (PSE) is a non-surgical treatment for hypersplenism. It has been reported only in a limited number of patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). We report a case of a female cystic fibrosis patient who developed hypersplenism at the age of 14 and underwent PSE.

Celiac artery aneurysm associated with atherosclerotic common hepatic artery stenosis.

Celiac artery aneurysms are rare vascular lesions and represent 4% of all splanchnic aneurysms. Media degeneration and atherosclerosis are the most common underlying etiologic factors. The risk of rupture and the associated mortality rate are 13% and 40% respectively.
