We investigated the influence of false lumen (FL) status on the systemic inflammatory response triggered by acute aortic dissection (AAD) using cytokine profiling. The study included 44 patients with AAD. Patients were divided between those with a thrombosed FL (Group T, n = 21) and those with a non-thrombosed FL (Group P, n = 23).

Background: Takayasu arteritis is a large-vessel vasculitis, in addition to giant cell arteritis. Various post-operative complications associated with the cardiac macrovasculature have been reported. Detachment of the prosthetic valve, pseudoaneurysm formation, and dilatation of the aortic root are well-known post-operative complications associated with vasculitis syndromes, including Takayasu arteritis.

Background: Bronchial artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare vascular disorder, and cases of bronchial pseudoaneurysms reported after lung surgery are even rarer. The number of reported cases is very limited due to the unclear pathogenesis, lack of diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines, and nonspecific clinical manifestations.
Case Presentation: The paper reports a case of a patient with primary lung adenocarcinoma who developed hemoptysis, chest and back pain, and right hemothorax after lobectomy.

This review addresses the neurovascular complications associated with the surgical treatment of clavicle fractures through open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Despite being a generally safe procedure, it can lead to severe complications including brachial plexopathy, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistulas (AVF), deep vein thrombosis (DVTs), and thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). One significant observation, not often highlighted in previous literature, is that neurovascular complications are more common in cases involving delayed fixation, nonunion, or malunion, compared to those treated acutely.

Endovascular repair of aortic injuries secondary to blunt trauma has been widely described. However, literature on endovascular management in penetrating aortic injuries is scarce. The patient in this case report, a victim of penetrating thoracic aortic trauma, presented 5 days after injury with Brown-Sequard syndrome and a contained aortic injury (pseudoaneurysm) and was haemodynamically stable.
