The purpose of this report is to present a rare case of lumbar artery aneurysm. We report the case of a 54-years-old male patient who was misdiagnosed over years having a chronic infrarenal aortic aneurysm. A 64-slice CT at our institution revealed a large lumbar artery aneurysm. The conclusion of this case report is that a lumbar or accessory renal artery aneurysm has to be taken into consideration if there is a localized enlargement of the lower abdominal aorta and a high resolution CT-scan is strongly recommended to make the exact diagnosis.

Impact of A1 segment asymmetry on hemodynamic conditions around the circle of Willis and anterior communicating artery aneurysm formation.
Front Neurol
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Ajou University School of Medicine, Suwon, Republic of Korea.
Background: This study aims to investigate how A1 segment asymmetry-also known as A1 dominancy-influences the development of the anterior communicating artery aneurysm (AcomA) as it affects hemodynamic conditions within the circle of Willis (COW). Using time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA), the research introduces a novel approach to assessing shear stress in A1 segments to uncover the hemodynamic factors contributing to AcomA formation.
Method: An observational study was conducted over 6 years at a tertiary university hospital's outpatient clinic.
Optimized contrast enhancement and homogeneity in aortic CT angiography: bolus tracking with personalized post-trigger delay.

Department of Radiology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.
Background: The bolus tracking technique has been used for decades, yet still faces the challenging task of determining the optimal scanning time for individuals. Our study aimed to assess the feasibility of a novel bolus tracking method with a personalized post-trigger delay (PTD) to optimize scanning time and achieve optimized enhancement and contrast homogeneity in aortic computed tomography angiography (CTA).
Methods: Participants undergoing aortic CTA with bolus tracking were prospectively assigned to two different groups: Group A with a fixed 6-second PTD and Group B with a personalized PTD.

Introduction: Microsurgery for paraclinoid aneurysms remains the first line of treatment in resource-constrained settings. The authors describe their institutional experience and evaluate functional outcomes after microsurgical treatment of paraclinoid aneurysms.
Methods: A retrospective review of clinical records was conducted.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) affects small and medium vessel, which sometimes leads to arterial aneurysms. In English database, only 15 reports refer to ruptured aneurysms in MPA. We experienced a fatal case with MPA who developed multiple visceral aneurysms, resulting in rupture of the hepatic aneurysm.

Background: Coronary artery ectasias and aneurysms (CAE/CAAs) are among the less common forms of coronary artery disease, with undefined long-term outcomes and treatment strategies.
Aims: To assess the clinical characteristics, angiographic patterns, and long-term outcomes in patients with CAE, CAA, or both.
Methods: This 15-year (2006-2021) retrospective single-centre registry included 281 patients diagnosed with CAE/CAA via invasive coronary angiography.
