Pseudoaneurysm of the hand is rare. Few cases have been reported in the literature, and these cases are usually related to trauma. Early treatment is recommended for pseudoaneurysm after it has been diagnosed. We report the surgical treatment of spontaneous pseudoaneurysm of the hand in a patient who was undergoing anticoagulant therapy.

Follow-up strategy for early detection of delayed pseudoaneurysms in patients with blunt traumatic spleen injury: A single-center retrospective study.

Background: The spleen is the most commonly injured solid organ in blunt abdominal trauma, and splenic pseudoaneurysm rupture is associated with a high risk of mortality. Nonoperative management has become the standard treatment for hemodynamically stable patients with splenic injuries. On the other hand, delayed splenic pseudoaneurysms can develop in any patient, and at present, there are no known risk factors that may reliably predict their occurrence.

Background: Redo mitral valve surgery by re-sternotomy approach has challenges such as bleeding and organ injury due to adhesion dissection, sternal bone infection, and poor field of view of mitral valve. On the other hand, redo mitral valve surgery via a right mini-thoracotomy approach appears to address these challenges. We successfully performed a double right mini-thoracotomies approach for mitral valve replacement and pseudoaneurysm repair under the beating-heart condition.

Article Synopsis
- Pseudoaneurysm of the ulnar artery (PUA) can result from various causes and leads to issues like pain and nerve damage, but there's no standard approach to diagnose or treat it due to its rarity.
- A systematic review included 31 studies focusing on 32 patients, revealing that trauma and medical procedures are common causes, with surgery as the primary treatment method.
- The review recommends using duplex ultrasonography for initial diagnosis and sets a 3 cm size for considering surgical intervention, while also highlighting the need for more definitive management guidelines.

Renal transplant is the gold standard treatment for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Despite the evolution of renal transplant procedures, complications can still occur. Transplant renal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication, which can be asymptomatic or cause mass-effect symptoms.
