- A study was done to see how well patients with a specific type of problem in their aorta, called a penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU), did in a hospital, comparing those who had surgery to those who didn't.
- They looked at 576 patients over 10 years, finding that most patients with PAUs were older men, and many had deep ulcers.
- Results showed that patients who had surgery lived longer on average than those who were treated without surgery, but doctors need to be careful when interpreting data because there were different health conditions in the groups.
Pseudoaneurysms may cause recurrent hematuria after blunt renal trauma. We report on an 18-year-old patient with radiographic manifestation of pseudoaneurysm 41 days after blunt renal trauma. Initial and follow-up imaging for recurrent hematuria, including angiography, was without signs of pseudoaneurysm or active bleeding.
