Introduction: Tuberculous aortic aneurysm (TBAA) is an exceedingly rare but severe manifestation of tuberculosis, with a high risk of sudden rupture of the aorta in absence of medical or surgical intervention. This review aimed to provide a detailed understanding of TBAA, including its associated complications, affected population, treatment measures, and outcomes.

Methods: Case studies and relevant research articles were analyzed to understand the recent advances in medical scientific knowledge on TBAA. Read More

The treatment success of catheter-based ovarian vein embolization due to peripheral varicose veins and ovarian vein reflux (OVR) should be investigated in this clinical investagtion. For this study, 95 female patients were identified over a 5-year period (beginning of 2006 to end of 2011) after catheter-based coil (+/- chemical) embolization of the ovarian vein due to peripheral primary or recurrent varicose veins and proven reflux in the ovarian vein. Treatment success was retrospectively assessed in 2014 by means of a structured telephone interview (n=60), clinical examination (n=56), duplex ultrasound (n=56) and magnetic resonance imaging (n=51) in patients who were willing to participate in the study.

Objective: Intracranial aneurysms are present in up to 18% of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and increase the risk of intracranial hemorrhage. No consensus exists on the optimal treatment strategy for AVM-associated aneurysms. The goal of this study was to systematically review current endovascular treatment methods of AVM-associated intracranial aneurysms, radiographic outcomes, and periprocedural complications.

Objective: Recent histopathological studies of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) have confirmed that aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) on MR vessel wall imaging (VWI) is related to wall degeneration with in vivo inflammatory cell infiltration. Therefore, pretreatment aneurysm wall status on VWI may be associated with recurrence after endovascular treatment.

Methods: VWI with gadolinium was performed on 67 consecutive saccular UIAs before endovascular treatment between April 2017 and June 2021. Read More

Pancreaticoduodenal arterial arcade aneurysms are rare but are prone to rupture. We report the case of a 60-year-old woman with an asymptomatic pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm and concomitant celiac trunk occlusion that was treated using an endovascular approach. After percutaneous transfemoral access and superior mesenteric artery cannulation, intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography angiography was performed to better understand the aneurysm morphology and provide image guidance.
