A 67-year-old man presented with isolated pain of the right testicle. He was admitted and treated for epididymitis. His symptoms did not improve and lower abdominal pain developed. After hypotension and severe anaemia (Hb 2.1 mmol/l) had developed, abdominal echography was carried out, revealing a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. The patient underwent surgical repair with an aortic-bifemoral prosthesis and was ultimately discharged without further complications. This is the fourth report in the literature of orchidodynia as referred pain from an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta.

We describe a patient with an asymptomatic infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Treatment decisions were complicated by the presence of a left congenital pelvic kidney supplied by two renal arteries originating from the proximal common iliac arteries bilaterally and respiratory status that was prohibitive to open repair. A hybrid surgical repair was performed with a bifurcated aortic endograft and parallel grafting to revascularize the pelvic renal arteries.

Objectives: Celiac artery (CA) incorporation during FB-EVAR for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (cAAA) is typically performed with fenestrations. Double-wide scallops (DWS) can be used when appropriate. We aimed to assess outcomes of patients treated with DWS for the CA during FB-EVAR for cAAA.

Background And Aim: Prior investigations of the natural history of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) have been constrained by small sample sizes or uneven assessments of aggregated data. Natural language processing (NLP) can significantly enhance the investigation and treatment of patients with AAAs by swiftly and effectively collecting imaging data from health records. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of NLP techniques in reliably identifying the existence or absence of AAAs and measuring the maximal abdominal aortic diameter in extensive datasets of radiology study reports.

Aims: Image-based, patient-specific rupture risk analysis of AAAs is promising but it is limited by invasive and costly imaging modalities. Ultrasound (US) offers a safe, more affordable alternative, allowing multiple assessments during follow-up and enabling longitudinal studies on AAA rupture risk.
Methods And Results: This study used time-resolved three-dimensional US to assess AAA rupture risk parameters over time, based on vessel and intraluminal thrombus (ILT) geometry.
