Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms are rare but potentially life-threatening vascular injuries frequently associated with trauma such as clavicle fractures. In this paper we describe the case of a 49-year-old male who developed a post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the subclavian artery after a bicycle accident. The diagnosis was delayed due to non-specific symptoms and an initially missed aneurysm on computed tomography imaging.

Background: Coronary artery pseudoaneurysm (PSA) is a rare occurrence linked to percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), infection, or chest trauma, lacking established management guidelines due to its low incidence.
Case Summary: A 78-year-old male with a medical history of triple vessel disease, post coronary artery bypass grafting, heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, presented with intractable left-sided chest pain following a mechanical fall. The initial workup was positive for mildly elevated high-sensitivity troponin and brain natriuretic peptide raising suspicion for a pulmonary embolism; but chest computed tomography angiography revealed an enlarging pericardial haematoma.

Article Synopsis
- Traumatic injuries of the upper limb often result in both nerve and vascular damage due to the close proximity of major vessels and nerves, and timely diagnosis of complications like pseudoaneurysms is crucial.
- A study reviewed cases of upper limb trauma over two years, utilizing a combined ultrasound imaging and neurophysiological approach to assess nerve injuries, including two specific late-onset vascular complication cases.
- The findings highlight the enhanced diagnostic accuracy achieved when combining electrophysiology with ultrasonography for assessing nerve injuries, suggesting the need for more extensive studies to validate these promising results.
Clinical and radiographic characteristics of traumatic brain injury patients undergoing endovascular rescue for posttraumatic vasospasm.

Department of Radiology, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Cerebral vasospasm is a serious complication following traumatic brain injury (TBI) that can worsen neurological damage, but its risk factors and natural progression are not well understood.
- This study evaluated various clinical (like age, sex, and need for surgery) and radiographic characteristics (such as types of brain hemorrhage) in TBI patients undergoing cerebral angiograms for posttraumatic vascular complications between 2017 and 2019.
- The findings highlighted that all patients had subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and that vasospasm typically occurred 3 to 19 days after the initial trauma, with more severe cases seen in patients with cisternal SAH; however, there was not a clear link between
Article Synopsis
- * The axillofemoral bypass graft is a key surgical option for treating complicated cases of peripheral artery disease, though it can lead to unexpected complications.
- * A case of a 64-year-old man illustrates how trauma after surgery can cause a pseudoaneurysm that mimics stroke symptoms, highlighting the need for various diagnostic approaches in post-operative care.
