Worldwide literature review from PubMed indicate that progress has been made in first aid assistance, diagnosis and treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms, which led to a reduced operative mortality. Nevertheless, ruptured aneurysms may present atipically in about half of the cases, thus leading to an initially uncorrect diagnosis up to 25% of cases. Mean survival interval from onset of symptoms and death is 10-14 hours, thus indicating that time exists to consider the new imaging techniques in 80% of patients, particularly the TC multislice. This, when is strategically located close to the emergency or the operative room, can rapidly allow a correct diagnosis and provide an accurate morphological evaluation, thus enabling the surgeon to plan the most adequate treatment with open or endovascular repair.

Although computed tomography (CT) is the diagnostic gold standard for acute subdural hematoma, the absence of clear trauma should prompt the use of computed tomography angiography (CTA) to identify potential underlying causes, such as ruptured aneurysms, which can significantly influence treatment decisions.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the outcomes of survival, endoleaks, reinterventions, and perioperative mortality rate (PMR) in patients with AAIA receiving endovascular or open surgical repair with respect to sex, with two groups of patients being evaluated: male and female.
Methods: This was a prospective, single-centered, consecutive cohort study of patients with AAIA who underwent endovascular treatment or open surgical repair regarding gender. Two groups of patients were evaluated: the male group and the female group.
The Natural History of Portal Venous System Aneurysms.
J Vasc Surg Venous Lymphat Disord
December 2024
Division of Vascular Surgery, UPMC, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Department of Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Electronic address:
Background: Portal venous system aneurysms (PVA) are increasingly diagnosed on cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) imaging. However, the natural history of these aneurysms is poorly understood and reports are limited to small case series.
Methods: Terms relevant to PVA were searched in radiology reports (2010-2022) with PVA presence confirmed by manual review.

Background: We evaluated the outcomes of pediatric patients with blunt liver and spleen injury (BLSI) admitted to hospitals with pediatric intensive care units (PICUs).
Methods: A post-hoc analysis of a multicenter observational study on pediatric patients (≤16 years) with BLSI at 83 hospitals between 2008 and 2019 was conducted. Thirty-day mortality and BLSI-associated adverse events were compared between patients treated in hospitals with and without PICUs.
