Objective: To present a rare cause of recurrent posterior embolic strokes originating from a partially thrombosed pseudoaneurysm of a shoulder artery after arthroscopy.
Materials And Methods: The clinical history, complementary studies and follow-up were reviewed.
Results: The patient was successfully embolized and presented no new ischemic episodes at the 3-month follow-up visit.
Conclusions: Shoulder artery pseudoaneurysm should be considered as an unusual source of posterior embolic strokes.

Aims: This study aims to verify the feasibility and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after a distal transradial approach (dTRA) with radial artery occlusion (RAO) recanalization.
Methods: Between July 2018 and January 2022, 30 patients underwent PCI following attempted RAO recanalization via dTRA. Among these cases, the target radial arteries could not be recanalized in five patients, necessitating alternative vascular access.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is becoming an increasingly prevalent clinical issue, leading to a growing number of patients requiring surgical interventions. Consequently, there is an increasing occurrence of para-anastomotic aneurysms as late complications following primary treatment for PAD. These aneurysms typically arise at the sites of graft implantation and necessitate individualized management strategies based on factors such as location, size, and the patient's overall condition.

The lower limb is vascularized by the femoral artery, which continues as the popliteal artery. After the distal margin of the popliteus muscle, the popliteal artery divides into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries. Anatomical variations in the bifurcation of the popliteal artery are frequent.

Hemosuccus pancreaticus (HP) is a rare, life-threatening cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, often linked to chronic pancreatitis and pseudoaneurysm rupture into the pancreatic duct. However, its occurrence in acute necrotizing pancreatitis with decompensated cirrhosis is exceedingly rare and poses significant diagnostic and treatment challenges. We report a case of a 34-year-old male with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis who developed hemorrhagic shock from HP following acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

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.
