Gunshot Wound to the Right Superior Pulmonary Vein With Bullet Embolization to the Aortic Bifurcation: Emergent Surgical Repair.

Bullet embolization is a rare complication of gunshot wound injuries with most of the literature consisting of case reports. We report a case regarding bullet embolization to the distal aorta following entry into the right superior pulmonary vein as a result of a gunshot wound to the posterior chest. The patient presented with signs of lower extremity ischemia.

Endovascular Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm with Complete Iliac Occlusion: Case Series and Literature Review.

In patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and complete iliac occlusion, endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) using a bifurcated stent graft has clear advantages over aortouniiliac stent grafts. Bifurcated stent grafts had improved hemodynamic flow and increased primary and secondary patency rates compared with aortouniiliac stent grafts. The use of aortouniiliac stent grafts with femorofemoral crossover bypass is associated with complications including infection of the prosthesis, steal phenomenon, and the associated difficulties for further endovascular access at the site of the femoral anastomosis.

Endovascular Treatment of Massive Axillary Artery Aneurysm for Palliation.

Atherosclerotic axillary artery aneurysms are rare. We report a case of a ninety six year old female who presented with a pulsatile left breast mass causing her intractable pain. She was diagnosed with a massive axillary artery aneurysm which was treated with and endovascular aneurysm repair for palliation of her symptoms.

Abnormalities associated with aberrant right subclavian arteries-a case report.

An aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is an anomaly with a reported incidence of 0.5% to 2%. Usually the aberrant artery follows a retroesophageal course; rarely it takes a course anterior to the esophagus or the trachea.
