Occult renal artery pseudoaneurysm causing persistent hematuria after flexible Thulium fibered laser lithotripsy: A case report and literature review of rare but potentially fatal complication.

Renal artery pseudoaneurysm may develop after laser flexible ureteroscopy stone lithotripsy (FURSL). Typical symptoms include flank pain, persistent hematuria, delayed refractory anemia, or hemorrhagic shock in case of pseudoaneurysm rupture. This complication of laser FURSL is very rare with only five cases reported in the literature as of April 2023, of which one involved Thulium laser.

Bioresorbable Magnesium-Based Stent: Real-World Clinical Experience and Feasibility of Follow-Up by Coronary Computed Tomography: A New Window to Look at New Scaffolds.

(1) Background: The diagnostic accuracy of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for coronary artery disease (CAD) has greatly improved so CCTA represents a transition in the care of patients suffering from CAD. Magnesium-based bioresorbable stents (Mg-BRS) secure acute percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) results without leaving, in the long term, a metallic caging effect. The purpose of this real-world study was to assess clinical and CCTA medium- and long-term follow-up of all our patients with implanted Mg-BRS.

Vertebral Artery Perforation as a Periprocedural Complication of Coronary Angiography.

Coronary angiography is a routinely performed intervention, with radial catheterization the recommended approach. We report a unique case of perforation of the right vertebral artery following coronary angiography that was successfully treated by endovascular management. ().

A case of splenic rupture a week after appendectomy.

A 52-year-old woman developed atraumatic splenic rupture 1 week after appendectomy for perforated appendicitis. The emergency computed tomography (CT) revealed abscessed appendicitis. We performed a laparoscopic appendectomy and meticulous peritoneal lavage of the right lower quadrant peritonitis.

A Rare Vascular Cause of Hoarseness.

Hoarseness is a common condition that can be the initial symptom of cardiovascular disorder.
