An unusual case of an aneurysm on the splenic artery diagnosed as an accessory spleen on the basis of sonographic examination triggers a discussion of sonography, CT and angiography in the diagnosis of splenic aneurysms, which though rare in absolute term constitute a real threat to the patient's life giving her [correction of him] a high percentage of spontaneous ruptures when they do occur.

Objective: Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and places patients at risk for subsequent peripheral vascular emboli. Our goals were to analyze the incidence of peripheral emboli and their associated complications and outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective single-center review of all patients with IE from 2013-2021 was performed.

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.
Pediatric blunt liver and spleen injury treated in hospitals with pediatric intensive care units: Post-hoc analysis of a multicenter, retrospective observational study.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed outcomes for pediatric patients with blunt liver and spleen injuries (BLSI) treated at hospitals with and without pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) between 2008 and 2019.
- Among the 1401 patients, 30-day mortality rates were lower in hospitals with PICUs (0.7%) compared to those without (1.3%), and also compared to adult ICUs.
- Overall, while adverse events were infrequent, the findings suggested that treatment in hospitals with PICUs may lead to better outcomes for pediatric patients with BLSI.
Title: Is Celiac Trunk Revascularization Necessary After High-Flow Pancreaticoduodenal Arterial Arcades Aneurysm Retrograde Embolization?
J Clin Med

Medical Imaging Department, Henri Mondor University Hospital Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, 51 Avenue du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny, 94010 Créteil, France.
High-flow pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysms secondary to celiac trunk occlusion or stenosis have a high risk of rupture. Embolization offers a less invasive alternative to surgery. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of retrograde embolization via the superior mesenteric artery of high-flow PDA aneurysms without celiac trunk revascularization.
