Vascular complications from percutaneous nephrostomy/nephrolithotripsy (PCN/PCNL) mostly involve the kidneys. Lumbar artery pseudoaneurysms from PCN and PCNL are a rare occurrence. We report a case of lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm following PCNL. This was treated successfully by transcatheter embolization.

A case of renovascular hypertension due to polyarteritis nodosa.
J Hypertens

Hypertension Clinic of the Internal Medicine Department, Unidade Local de Saúde de São João.
In renal vasculitis, luminal narrowing can reduce blood flow and activate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, causing renovascular hypertension. We present the case of a 47-year-old man with previous intestinal tuberculosis and episodes of lumbar pain, tender erythematous nodules and arthralgias. He had grade 3 hypertension, unresponsive to treatment, with left ventricular concentric hypertrophy and chronic kidney disease.

Background: An anomalous left vertebral artery (aLVA) can complicate aortic arch surgery. We examined the safety of various aLVA revascularization strategies during open total arch replacement.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 92 patients undergoing total arch replacement from January 2018 to May 2023 and identified 11 patients with aLVA.
Objective: To investigate the value of routine T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) sequences in locating the fistula level of spinal arteriovenous fistula (SAVF).
Methods: Retrospectively analyzed the radiological findings of patients with SAVF diagnosed by surgery from May 2018 to September 2024. All patients completed spinal CE-MRA and routine T2-weighted MRI.
Sarcopenia with muscle wasting in hepatic cancer predicts therapeutic outcome after hepatic artery intervention.
Int J Clin Pharmacol Ther
December 2024
Objectives: We aimed to study sarcopenia for its significance in predicting the effect of hepatic artery intervention (HAI) plus lenvatinib on hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated with diabetes mellitus (DM).
Materials And Methods: Hepatitis B-related HCC patients complicated with DM (n = 102) visiting during January 2021 and December 2023 were retrospectively selected. Computed tomography was performed to detect the third lumbar vertebra for its muscle cross-sectional area.
Abnormal ramification pattern of the renal and testicular vessels.

Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, National Defense Medical College, Tokorozawa, Japan.
We demonstrate an aberrant ramification pattern of the renal and testicular vessels. On both sides, the anterior and posterior renal veins emerged from the renal. On the right side, the anterior renal vein collected the right testicular vein and drained into the inferior vena cava, while the posterior one directly drained into the inferior vena cava.
