Inferior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication following abdominal wall procedures near the artery. This is a case of Inferior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm after therapeutic paracentesis for large volume ascites caused by chronic kidney failure. The patient was operated on, and the artery was ligated.

Background: Gallbladder is rarely injured as it is embedded in the liver and well protected by ribcage. Gallbladder perforation is a rare complication of acute calculus cholecystitis. Spontaneous gallbladder perforation is even rarer.Case Series: We present our experience of 4 cases of spontaneous gallbladder perforation. The patients were mostly males (3:1) with age ranging from 42-64 years. All the patients presented with abdominal pain, distension, ileus and fever ranging from 2-5 days duration. There was no prior history of biliary colic. Examination revealed abdominal tenderness and ileus. Abdominal radiographs showed multiple air-fluid levels and no pneumoperitoneum. Sonography and CT scan of abdomen revealed pericholecystic fluid, intra-abdominal collection with no evidence of gallstones. Provisional diagnosis was peritonitis in 3 and acute pancreatitis in one case. Image guided abdominal paracentesis yielded bilious fluid. In view of lack of clinical improvement and aspiration of bilious content all the patients were subjected to laparotomy. Gallbladder perforation in fundus region without stones and intra-abdominal bile collection was noted in all the patients. Cholecystectomy with peritoneal lavage and abdominal drainage was performed in all cases. Postoperative course was uneventful except wound infection in 2 cases. Histopathology report revealed features of acute cholecystitis in 2 and acute on chronic cholecystitis in the remaining 2 patients.Conclusion: Diagnosis of spontaneous gallbladder perforation should be suspected in middle aged patients who present with acute abdomen but does not have classical signs of peritonitis and in whom paracentesis has yielded bilious fluid.

We report two cases of femoral vein thrombosis after arterial PTA and subsequent pressure stasis. We discuss the legal consequences of these complications for information policies. Because venous thrombembolism following an arterial PTA might cause serious sequel or life threatening complications, there is a clear obligation for explicit information of the patients about this rare complication.

Acquired renal arteriovenous fistula is a rare complication following a nephrectomy and its diagnosis may be made many years after the intervention. The closure of the fistula is advisable in most cases, since it represents a risk for heart failure and rupture of the vessel. There are an increasing number of publications describing different techniques of occlusion. The case of a 70-year-old woman with abdominal discomfort due to a large renal arteriovenous fistula, 45 years after nephrectomy, is presented and current literature is reviewed. Percutaneous embolization was performed by placing an occluding balloon through the draining vein followed by the release of nine coils through arterial access. One day after successful occlusion of the fistula, clinical symptoms disappeared.

Internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of deep neck infections. The authors report the case of a 17-year-old male who presented to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology with an acute tonsillitis requiring tonsillectomy. Four weeks after the surgery the patient was readmitted because of progressive swallowing, trismus, and worsening headache. Computed tomography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the left internal carotid artery in the extracranial segment. A bare Wallstent was implanted primarily and a complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm was achieved. The endovascular approach is a quick and safe method for the treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid artery.
