A 4-year-old boy presented with acute and profuse bleeding at the tracheostomy site. An emergency angiography was performed and identified a pseudoaneurysm at the innominate artery. A selective catheterization of the artery was executed and 2 Advanta V12 balloon-expandable covered stents were implanted in an overlapping manner to occlude the pseudoaneurysm. Final angiography demonstrated patency of the innominate artery and no signs of bleeding. The patient had no postoperative complications and no further bleeding during follow-up. A contrasted computed tomography scan was performed after 20 days and demonstrated no signs of pseudoaneurysm or bleeding. After 4 months, the patient was readmitted to tracheal dilatation and change of T-tube and died of respiratory complications.

Objectives: This study evaluates a staged selective hybrid approach for acute type A aortic dissection. The approach involves a zone 2 aortic arch replacement with debranching of the brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid artery to create a landing zone for thoracic endovascular aortic repair. This repair is performed either preemptively in the subacute phase to promote remodelling or electively in the chronic phase to manage aneurysm formation.

Objective: To further understand spatial relationships of common carotid arteries to adjacent structures through evaluation of computed tomographic angiograms in dogs.
Animals: 24 pet dogs.
Procedure: A database was searched for triplanar computed tomographic angiograms that included the heart base caudally and the 5th cervical vertebra cranially, without macroscopic abnormalities.

A quinquagenarian underwent zone 2 arch repair for acute type A dissection followed by endovascular repair utilizing a branch endoprosthesis and covered stents. He developed a fever and positive blood culture results 3 weeks after the thoracic endovascular repair. A preoperative left carotid to subclavian artery bypass was performed.

Introduction And Importance: Central venous catheter (CVC) placement is a common procedure, particularly in critically ill patients. However, it carries the risk of vascular complications, including rare and severe injuries to the brachiocephalic trunk (BCT). We present a case series of two patients who developed BCT injuries following tunneled CVC placements, highlighting the critical importance of early diagnosis to prevent fatal outcomes.

Background: Transradial cerebral angiography (TRA) is a convenient but challenging procedure, particularly for selecting the left internal carotid artery (ICA) and vertebral artery.
Objective: To predict the selection of the left ICA using CT and MR images acquired before TRA.
Methods: Overall, 306 patients with TRA were enrolled and divided into either the group with success (264 patients) or the failure (42 patients) group.
