Background: Pelvic vascular lesions such as pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas associated with the internal pudendal artery are uncommon. The most common cause is traumas including those of iatrogenic origin. Surgical treatment is complicated due to location of the lesions and endovascular approach is usually the first choice among the treatment options.
Case Report: A 79-year-old patient was admitted with massive hematuria following transurethral resection of prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Doppler US and angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula originating from the right internal pudendal artery. It was successfully treated with coil embolization.
Conclusions: Arteriovenous fistulas and pseudoaneurysms concerning internal pudendal artery may occur as complications of prostate operations. Minimally invasive endovascular methods provide safe and efficient treatment and today should be considered as the first line of choice.

Article Synopsis
- Varicose veins should be understood as part of the larger issue of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), prompting the MEVeC project to enhance assessment methods and standardize treatment evaluations across practitioners.
- The study evaluated surgical vs. laser treatment in patients with specific varicose vein conditions, using ultrasound Doppler to examine outcomes after interventions.
- Results showed lower reflux rates in the surgical group compared to the laser group, highlighting the need for ongoing standardization and understanding of treatment efficacy in managing CVI.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the penile fibrovascular assembly to determine if it functions as an independent vascular compartment within the human body, addressing a gap in cardiovascular research.
- Researchers examined 23 male cadavers and analyzed extensive medical imaging and hemodynamic data to gain insight into the structure and function of the penile vasculature.
- Results indicate that the human penis contains a unique bi-layered fibrovascular assembly with atypical vascular patterns, challenging previous assumptions about penile venous drainage.
