Article Abstract
The authors present a case of a 12-year-old boy with a known family history of multiple hereditary exostoses who presented with knee swelling. Physical examination and subsequent workup revealed a pseudoaneurysm associated with an osteochondroma. We present this interesting case and review the literature.

Background: Takayasu arteritis is a large-vessel vasculitis, in addition to giant cell arteritis. Various post-operative complications associated with the cardiac macrovasculature have been reported. Detachment of the prosthetic valve, pseudoaneurysm formation, and dilatation of the aortic root are well-known post-operative complications associated with vasculitis syndromes, including Takayasu arteritis.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares outcomes of left atrial appendage closure combined with catheter ablation (LAACCA) vs. catheter ablation alone in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure.
- Results show that LAACCA leads to longer hospital stays, higher mortality rates, and increased hospitalization costs compared to catheter ablation alone.
- Post-procedure complications were also more common in the LAACCA group, including higher rates of myocardial ischemia and complete atrioventricular block.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed outcomes for pediatric patients with blunt liver and spleen injuries (BLSI) treated at hospitals with and without pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) between 2008 and 2019.
- Among the 1401 patients, 30-day mortality rates were lower in hospitals with PICUs (0.7%) compared to those without (1.3%), and also compared to adult ICUs.
- Overall, while adverse events were infrequent, the findings suggested that treatment in hospitals with PICUs may lead to better outcomes for pediatric patients with BLSI.
