Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is uncommon, but it is the most frequent visceral artery aneurysm. It is more common in women, especially during pregnancy. SAA is usually asymptomatic, but abdominal pain and rupture may develop. At present, computerized tomography (CT) angiogram is the best diagnostic test but not the only. Surgical or endovascular treatment may be considered both in symptomatic or asymptomatic aneurysms greater then 2 cm in diameter. We present the case of an elderly woman with an SAA and review the literature.

Aneurysmal rupture in microscopic polyangiitis: a case-based review.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) affects small and medium vessel, which sometimes leads to arterial aneurysms. In English database, only 15 reports refer to ruptured aneurysms in MPA. We experienced a fatal case with MPA who developed multiple visceral aneurysms, resulting in rupture of the hepatic aneurysm.

Background: Coronary artery ectasias and aneurysms (CAE/CAAs) are among the less common forms of coronary artery disease, with undefined long-term outcomes and treatment strategies.
Aims: To assess the clinical characteristics, angiographic patterns, and long-term outcomes in patients with CAE, CAA, or both.
Methods: This 15-year (2006-2021) retrospective single-centre registry included 281 patients diagnosed with CAE/CAA via invasive coronary angiography.
Platypnea-Orthodeoxia Syndrome: Manifestation of a Patent Foramen Ovale.
Cureus
December 2024
Internal Medicine, Hospital Infante D. Pedro, Aveiro, PRT.
Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a rare clinical condition characterized by dyspnea and hypoxemia during orthostatism, with relief in the supine position. The diagnosis of POS requires a high clinical suspicion, and its etiology stems from the admixture of venous blood, poor in oxygen, with arterial blood via a shunt. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is the most commonly encountered anomaly at the root of POS.

Background And Purpose: Timely reporting of CTA exams impacts management of acute vascular pathology such as large vessel occlusions, arterial dissection, and ruptured aneurysm as well as a variety of acute non-vascular pathologies. In this study, we examine potential modifiable factors impacting the timeliness of CTA reporting performed in stroke code activations.
Materials And Methods: Observational study of stroke code CTA head and neck exams performed at a single health system (3 emergency departments, 1550 inpatient beds) over four years (1/1/2019-12/31/2023).

Background: This study assessed caliber and flow changes of covered cortical middle cerebral artery (MCA) branches using the new Caliber-Flow Status Scale (CFSS), postoperative diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesions, and clinical outcome following flow diverter (FD) treatment of MCA aneurysms.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study collected data from patients treated with FD between January 2016 and March 2024, including patient characteristics, aneurysm features, postoperative DWI lesions, and clinical outcomes. Vessel status was assessed using CFSS: 1a (normal caliber and flow), 1b (normal caliber, reduced flow), 2a (reduced caliber, normal flow), 2b (reduced caliber and flow), and 3 (occlusion).
