Selective Angioembolisation of Iatrogenic Renal Artery Pseudoaneurysms Following Minimally Invasive Urological Procedures: A Single Centre Case Series.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to report our centre's experience using selective angioembolisation in the treatment of iatrogenic renal artery pseudoaneurysms (RAP) following minimally invasive urological procedures.

Methods: Our retrospective analysis included four consecutive patients treated with angioembolisation for iatrogenic RAP between October 2016 and October 2021. Data on demographics, minimally invasive urological intervention, clinical features, imaging findings, embolization procedure and perioperative details were collected.

The complications of opioid use during and post-intensive care admission: A narrative review.

Opioids are a commonly administered analgesic medication in the intensive care unit, primarily to facilitate invasive mechanical ventilation. Consensus guidelines advocate for an opioid-first strategy for the management of acute pain in ventilated patients. As a result, these patients are potentially exposed to high opioid doses for prolonged periods, increasing the risk of adverse effects.

Acquired Carotid-Jugular Fistula Secondary to a Pseudoaneurysm Following Carotid Endarterectomy.

Acquired arteriovenous fistulas involving the carotid artery are most frequently the result of trauma and iatrogenic causes such as central venous catheterisation. Occasionally, they may develop spontaneously due to erosion of an aneurysm into an adjacent vein. We report a rare case of an acquired carotid-jugular fistula secondary to a pseudoaneurysm that occurred four months following carotid endarterectomy.

Concurrent Ilio-Enteric and Ilio-Vesical Fistula From Large Aorto-Iliac Aneurysm.

Iliac artery aneurysms (IAA) are associated frequently with abdominal aortic (AAA) and other degenerative large-vessel aneurysms. Concurrent fistulization of the aortoiliac tree into the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and bladder is exceptionally rare. We herewith report a unique case of concurrent ilio-enteric and ilio-vesical fistula arising from a large aorto-iliac aneurysm.
