Early detection of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is crucial as untreated lesions can be life-threatening. We describe the case of a fortuitous ultrasound (US) detection of AAA by a trainee which allowed two subsequent "domino" diagnoses. A 69 y.

With increased use of extended criteria liver donors, there is a higher incidence of previously unknown intra-abdominal pathologies, including abdominal aortic aneurysms, which are being accidentally found during organ procurement. These findings often involve technical difficulties that challenge organ procurement teams and potentially put at risk the success of organ retrieval and eventual transplant. In this case report, we present a novel case of a successful liver retrieval from a donor with brain death who was incidentally found to have an infrarenal aortic aneurysm that spared both iliac arteries.

Iliac artery aneurysms (IAA) associated with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are found in 10%-20% of AAAs. Isolated internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAAs) are an uncommon entity, representing 0.3%-0.

Introduction: Internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAAs) are an uncommon but clinically significant vascular condition that can lead to life-threatening complications, such as rupture and endoleaks, following endovascular repair. Endoleaks particularly type IIa, occur when there is retrograde flow into the aneurysm sac from collateral vessels, and their presence can jeopardize the success of repair procedures. This case report illustrates a rare occurrence of a type IIa endoleak attributed to retrograde filling from the profunda femoris artery, providing insights into the diagnostic complexities and management of IIAAs.

Background: Aneurysms of the lower basilar artery (BA) are rare, accounting for <1% of all intracranial aneurysms. This location has been described as "No man's land" since it poses a potential challenge for microsurgery. Recently, endovascular treatment has become an alternative option; however, there are some disadvantages regarding the obliteration rate, patency of the parent, and perforating arteries.
