Introduction: Internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAAs) are an uncommon but clinically significant vascular condition that can lead to life-threatening complications, such as rupture and endoleaks, following endovascular repair. Endoleaks particularly type IIa, occur when there is retrograde flow into the aneurysm sac from collateral vessels, and their presence can jeopardize the success of repair procedures. This case report illustrates a rare occurrence of a type IIa endoleak attributed to retrograde filling from the profunda femoris artery, providing insights into the diagnostic complexities and management of IIAAs.

A 38-year-old man was evaluated for heart palpitations and chest pain diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, left ventricular ejection fraction 30%, and moderate aortic insufficiency. On echocardiographic control, evidence of aortic bicuspid valve and aortic coarctation on the isthmus with dilated epiaortic vessels. Computed tomography angiography confirmed the presence of aortic coarctation of the descending portion of the arch with supply of the thoracic aorta by collateral vessels originating from the brachiocephalic vessels.

Background: The cerebral arterial circle variants are well-described due to their clinical significance for neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists.

Materials And Methods: This magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) report describes the unusual coexistence of three cerebral variants incidentally identifiedin a 44-year-old female patient.

Results: The right-sided first segment (A1) of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) was absent, and both the posterior cerebral arteries (PCAs) originated from the internal carotid arteries (ICAs).

Article Synopsis
  • Arterial desaturation after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is uncommon and typically caused by issues like right ventricular outflow obstruction.
  • This report highlights a rare case of desaturation linked to a recanalized left cardinal vein in a child who had TOF surgery.
  • The article details the methodical evaluation that helped identify the problematic vein and successfully treated it using a percutaneous device closure.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hepatic pseudolesions are common findings on contrast-enhanced imaging due to the liver's unique blood flow patterns and can also appear on liver scans due to unusual collateral circulation.
  • - A case is presented involving a patient with lung cancer who showed increased metabolic activity in specific liver areas on FDG PET/CT, which matched areas of increased density on a CT scan of the chest.
  • - This abnormal hypermetabolic activity disappeared on a follow-up FDG PET/CT scan taken two days later after changes were made to how the tracer was administered.
