Successful Bailout of Intraoperative External Iliac Artery Rupture by Aorto-Uni-Iliac Stent Grafting and Femoral-Femoral Crossover Bypass in a Patient With a Giant Common Iliac Artery Aneurysm.

Common iliac artery aneurysms (CIAAs) are typically asymptomatic and difficult to detect. As they enlarge and are identified at later stages, the risk of perioperative complications increases. Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is often a viable option for managing giant CIAAs.

A case of acute coronary syndrome caused by delayed coronary ischemia after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

An 84-year-old female patient suffered from dyspnea due to severe aortic stenosis. Several comorbidities and her advanced age made her acceptable for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The TAVI procedure was performed via a femoral access and a 26-mm CoreValve prosthesis (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was implanted.

Spontaneous Round-Shaped Left Atrial Hematoma.

Spontaneously occurring left atrial hematomas are very rare and most of them followed acute clinical course due to hemodynamic deterioration. We presented a case of gradually developing hematoma protruding into the left atrial cavity as a round mass, which was completely encapsulated with intact endocardial wall. Emergency surgery was successfully performed.
