Aortic and iliac pseudo-aneurysms are infrequent but challenging complications after open surgical graft reconstructions, mostly having para-anastomotic localisations. The true corporeal peri-prosthetic false aneurysms are, up until now, very rarely documented presentations. We report the clinical case of an 8.8 cm diameter non-anastomotic and aseptic pseudo-aneurysm developed on aorto-bifemoral Dacron prosthesis in a symptomatic and high surgical risk patient. Considering the clinical presentation and the anatomical features, a chronic tear of the posterior prosthetic wall by prominent aortic remnant calcifications was evoked as the possible aetiology. An endovascular exclusion, using a tapered aorto-uni-iliac endograft coupled to a femoro-femoral bypass revascularisation, was technically successful. Despite scarce published clinical data focusing on the optimal treatment dedicated to this category of false aneurysm, this approach is thought to be beneficial in selected cases of high-risk surgical patients.

We present the case of a 74-year-old female patient with a 50 mm ascending aortic aneurysm who underwent ascending aorta replacement. During routine open heart surgery, suboptimal flow in the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit, led to the discovery of a type B aortic dissection with substantial flow in the false lumen. Conservative management was chosen, focusing on blood pressure control in the ICU.

Purpose: We aimed to validate a clinically available artificial intelligence (AI) model to assist general radiologists in the detection of intracranial aneurysm (IA) in a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) study, and to explore its performance in routine clinical settings.
Methods: Two distinct cohorts of head CT angiography (CTA) data were assembled to validate an AI model. Cohort 1, comprising gold-standard consecutive CTA cases, was used in an MRMC study involving six board-certified general radiologists.
Background: The rupture of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) leads to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), which is associated with significant disability and mortality rates. This study aims to identify metabolic markers causally linked to the occurrence of IAs and aSAH through Mendelian randomization (MR), thereby offering novel predictive and therapeutic targets.
Methods: We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on IAs and aSAH, analyzing 1,400 metabolomic indices from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) cohort (n = 8,299).
Background: Traumatic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are rare entities, especially when referring to visceral arterioportal AVFs. Currently, there are no large epidemiological studies looking specifically at traumatic visceral AVFs. When traumatic AVFs have been discussed in the literature, it is in the form of case reports or case series and focused on peripheral AVFs.

Pseudoaneurysm is a common vascular abnormality marked by arterial wall disruption, with complications that can arise unpredictably and carry high morbidity and mortality rates. This case study emphasises the management of recurrent haematuria and clot retention in a young man presenting to the emergency department. It underscores the importance of early recognition and management of recurrent haematuria and clot retention caused by pseudoaneurysm, emphasising the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in optimising patient outcomes.
