Transarterial embolization (TAE) is less invasive than surgery for the treatment of pseudoaneurysms. Costocervical trunk (CCT) pseudoaneurysms are extremely rare. We herein report an unusual case of a 45-year-old man with a CCT pseudoaneurysm caused by a bullectomy with pleural abrasion, which had been performed to manage a spontaneous pneumothorax. The patient presented with chronic chest pain and successfully underwent TAE with a metallic coil. The chest pain completely disappeared 2 weeks after the TAE, and follow-up computed tomography showed that the pseudoaneurysm had almost completely disappeared 9 months after the TAE.

Videothoracoscopic management of hemoptysis due to anomalous bronchial vessel treated with multiple bronchial artery embolizations: a case report.

Article Synopsis
- Hemoptysis, the coughing up of blood, can stem from various serious underlying conditions, but often involves high-pressure bronchial arteries; Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is typically the first-line treatment despite varying long-term success rates.
- A 12-year-old boy with a history of massive hemoptysis underwent multiple BAEs and recent imaging confirmed the location of previous coils; however, he experienced another episode where traditional intervention was complicated by prior treatments.
- The medical team opted for a thoracoscopic approach, successfully isolating and ligating the problematic vessel, leading to the patient's stabilization and discharge after four days.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the development of branches of the subclavian artery is influenced by the anatomy of the proximal artery and surrounding structures, particularly in response to blood flow stress.
- A case of an aberrant right subclavian artery arising from the aorta and unusual branching patterns was reported, revealing types H and CG of the Adachi-Williams classification.
- Findings indicate that while the aberrant artery's development can impact blood flow in the region, normal distal branching suggests that proximal and distal vascular development can operate independently, adapting to anomalies.
Mediastinal and thoracic hematoma following transradial cerebral angiography: a case report.

Department of Neurology, Meizhou People's Hospital, 63, Huangtang Road, Meijiang District, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, 514031, China.
Background: Cerebral angiography through the transradial approach (TRA) is associated with a low risk of complications, but in rare cases, these complications can be life-threatening.
Case Presentation: A 56-year-old female patient was admitted for transradial cerebral angiography due to the complaint of right limb weakness and the diagnosis of cerebral infarction and cerebral artery stenosis. During the procedure, the patient coughed with expectoration and complained of throat discomfort, palpitations, and pains in the right shoulder and back.

The Foix-Alajouanine syndrome was originally reported by these authors in 1926, as rapidly progressive vasculitis on the background of a viral infection. The pathology was represented by the huge, more than 10 times, dilation either of the lumen, or the walls of the spinal vessels, either of the arteries, or the veins. There were no signs of thrombosis, no malformations.

Background: Aortic arch (AA) branching patterns vary among different mammalian species. Most previous studies have focused on dogs, whereas those on raccoon dogs remain unexplored.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe the AA branching pattern in raccoon dogs and compare their morphological features with those of other carnivores.
