Cystic artery pseudoaneurysms are a rare but life-threatening entity that commonly occurs as a sequela to acute cholecystitis. We present a case of a 52-year-old male with a past medical history of decompensated alcoholic liver cirrhosis who underwent a transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) after correction of his baseline coagulopathy. On post-operative day one, the patient had significant blood loss with an inappropriate response to blood transfusions and without an identifiable source of bleeding.

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence and predictors of ischemic lesions on thin-slice DWI (2 mm) in endovascular treatments for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA), particularly explore the potential relationship with pathway plaques.
Methods: Participants eligible for endovascular treatments with UIA at a national stroke center between March 2023 and August 2023 were prospectively enrolled. All participants performed thin-slice DWI (slice thickness of 2 mm) before and after procedures.

Clinical Problem: Ischemic stroke is the most common cause of disability in adults and an important disease for society; therefore, the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment play an important role. Endovascular mechanical recanalization to reopen large occlusions of the intracerebral vessels has established itself as the gold standard in therapy, which is why knowledge of the most important complications and their management is essential for interventionalists.
Practical Recommendations: Intracranial hemorrhages, which include intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhages, are dreaded complications that significantly worsen the clinical outcome.

Background: The use of endovascular procedures is becoming increasingly popular across multiple clinical domains. These procedures are generally performed under image guidance using an interventional c-arm x-ray system. Radiation exposure to both patients and interventional staff due to use of fluoroscopy is a health and occupational concern, but modifications to the interventional workflow to address radiation may come at the cost of procedure time or quality.

Background: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) accounts for 0.5-1% of all strokes. The role of endovascular therapy (EVT) in the management of CVT remains controversial and variations in practice patterns are not well known.
