This report describes a ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysm that presented as a rectus sheath hematoma (RSH). The patient developed abdominal pain and a large, tense lower abdominal wall mass without peritoneal signs. Computed tomography scan demonstrated a massive RSH contiguous with a ruptured left internal iliac artery aneurysm. Hypovolemic shock prompted immediate laparotomy, aneurysmorrhaphy of the ruptured aneurysm, and evacuation of the rectus hematoma. This uncommon presentation of internal iliac aneurysm rupture should caution against a simple diagnosis of "spontaneous" RSH in a patient with a potentially ruptured iliac aneurysm.

Characteristics and prognostic values of abdominal aortic branches calcification in hemodialysis patients.

Institute of Nephrology, Zhong Da Hospital, Southeast University School of Medicine, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.
Background: Vascular calcification is highly prevalent and associated with mortality in hemodialysis patients. However, extreme splanchnic arterial calcification in calciphylaxis with poor prognosis raises questions regarding the reliability of previous vascular calcification scoring methods. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the distribution characteristics of abdominal aortic branch calcification and identify a more reliable predictor of mortality in hemodialysis patients.

Background: Perforation is one of the rarest effects of Meckel's diverticulum and may clinically resemble acute appendicitis.
Case Report: A 34-year-old woman with pain in the right iliac fossa, nausea, and vomiting for three days was brought to the emergency department. An abdominal examination indicated rebound tenderness in the area of the right iliac fossa.
Glue in Lockdown Technique to Embolize Peripheral Arterial Aneurysms.
J Nippon Med Sch
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Nippon Medical School.
As a blood flow control technique for embolization using glue (n-butyl cyanoacrylate; NBCA) for peripheral artery aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm, we placed a vascular plug or coils at the proximal inflow vessel before glue injection. We describe this maneuver, which we call the glue in lockdown technique. Four peripheral aneurysms-two pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms, one pancreaticoduodenal arcade pseudoaneurysm, and one internal iliac artery aneurysm-deemed unsuitable for conventional embolization because of abnormal blood flow, coagulopathy, or anatomical complexity were embolized with our technique.

The absence or dysplasia of the iliac artery(IA) is an exceedingly rare condition, with limited cases documented in the literature. In this report, we present a case of hypoplasia of the right external iliac artery (EIA) in a 69-year-old male patient. The patient presented with right lower abdominal pain attributed to an aneurysm of the right internal iliac artery (IIA), yet notably, there was no evidence of lower limb ischemia at the time of consultation.

With an increasingly aging population, both end-stage renal disease and peripheral artery disease become more prevalent. Peripheral artery disease is increasingly treated with endovascular procedures. Endovascular stenting of the external iliac artery (EIA) is often considered a contraindication for kidney transplantation, as clamping of the artery could result in possible injuring of the stent.
