Objectives: Basilic vein transposition (BVT) surgery is a crucial option for vascular access in hemodialysis patients when other alternatives are unavailable. One of the primary complications affecting the long-term function of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) is the development of pseudoaneurysms, often caused by repeated punctures at the same site. This study aims to evaluate whether increasing the length of the basilic vein available for cannulation during the second stage of BVT surgery reduces the risk of puncture-related pseudoaneurysms, thereby improving fistula longevity and functionality.

- A rare case report discusses a 20-year-old Iranian woman who experienced a ruptured right common iliac aneurysm one year after having deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which was treated with rivaroxaban.
- The surgical repair was successful, but she faced complications, including abdominal pain, small bowel obstruction, and a large pancreatic pseudocyst, despite ongoing anticoagulant therapy.
- The report highlights the unusual link between DVT and vascular aneurysms and emphasizes the need to consider potential complications arising from aneurysms when treating DVT in patients.
This article presents a rare case of a facial artery pseudoaneurysm that developed following blunt trauma to the right buccal region. The patient, a 75-year-old male, sought medical attention four days after sustaining an injury from a stone impact, reporting pain and swelling in the right mandibular area. During the physical examination, a pulsatile mass was identified in the region of the facial artery.

Case Presentation: A 60-year-old Iranian man with a previous history of headaches, who did not respond properly to the treatments following the initial diagnosis of migraine, presented with a painless lump in the left temporal region, and he was diagnosed with superficial temporal artery aneurysm via Doppler ultrasound.
Key Clinical Message: Brucella aortitis should be one of the differential diagnoses of inflammatory aortic aneurysms. In situ repair of intermittent aortoenteric fitulae and repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysm with synthetic graft can be used in clean scarred fistulae.
Abstract: Arterial aneurysms are very rare complications of Brucella infection.
Article Synopsis
- Bullet embolus is a rare but challenging condition that can occur after gunshot injuries, complicating diagnosis and treatment.
- A case involved a 35-year-old Iranian male who sustained a shotgun injury to his buttocks, leading to bullet fragments traveling to his heart and popliteal region through his blood vessels.
- Modern surgical techniques and imaging methods, like X-rays and echocardiography, have improved the safety and efficacy of diagnosing and removing bullet emboli.
