Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery: Demographics, Morphological Features and Follow up CT Scans Dynamics.

Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is the most common of the aortic arch anomalies, occurring in .5% to 1% of the population. There is no standardized follow up protocol, especially in the asymptomatic cases.

A Mobile Thrombus of the Thoracic Aorta.

A mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta is a rare entity, which might have serious clinical manifestations, including arterial emboli. Due to its low incidence, there is no consensus regarding the most adequate management of mobile thoracic aorta thrombus. The current case describes a patient with Polycythemia Vera and myeloproliferative neoplasm, who presented with mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta, manifested by blue toe syndrome and asymptomatic splenic infarct.

Clinical Outcomes of Vascular Accesses in Hemodialysis Patients.

Background: Reliable vascular access is a fundamental tool for providing effective hemodialysis. Vascular access dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality among hemodialysis patients. Current vascular access guidelines strongly recommend creating an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) as the first option; however, a substantial proportion of new AVFs may not be usable.

Aortic Intramural Hematoma due to Intercostal Artery Aneurysms.

BackgroundIntercostal artery aneurysms (ICA) are rare vascular disease. A rupture of ICA is a possible mechanism of intramural aortic hematoma (IH). We report a case with IH and ICAs without clear etiology.

Serial PET-CT Scans Can Help Determine Duration of Antibiotic Therapy After Endovascular Mycotic Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Repair.

Mycotic aortic aneurysm is a rare vascular condition, with high-risk for fatal complications. In cases of bacterial infection, prolonged antibiotic therapy is administered. There is no consensus on duration of antibiotic therapy and close follow-up is recommended following surgical and endovascular interventions.
