Abstract Here we report a rare case of pseudoaneurysm at the site of aortic coarctation. Aortic coarctation and a saccular aortic aneurysm protruding from the site of this coarctation were detected in a 50-year-old woman. Owing to the shape of the aneurysm and high risk of rupture, an open surgical repair was performed. The pathological findings of the removed aneurysm revealed a pseudoaneurysm consisting of only a thin adventitial wall. Adult uncorrected aortic coarctation has a poor prognosis. One of its causes may be the formation of such a pseudoaneurysm.

The treatment of choice for aortic coarctation in adults remains open surgical repair. Aortobronchial fistula is a rare but potentially fatal late sequela of surgical correction of isthmic aortic coarctation via the interposition of a graft.The endovascular treatment of aortobronchial fistula is still under discussion because of its high risk for infection, especially if the patient has a history of cardiovascular prosthetic implantation. Patients need close monitoring, most notably those with secondary aortobronchial fistula. We discuss the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with the combined conditions, and we briefly review the relevant medical literature.

Objective Primary venous aneurysms are unusual vascular occurrences. Our aim is to document our institution’s experience with this pathology; describing frequency, diagnosis, outcomes and medical histories of patients with primary venous aneurysms within a 20-year time frame. Methods A retrospective study at our institution using its radiology database was conducted. Results were isolated to primary venous aneurysms diagnosed between 1997 and 2017. Basic demographics and medical history were collected. Results We identified 32 patients with primary venous aneurysms. Eighteen were male and 14 were female. The average age of presentation was 54 years old, with a range of 17–86. None of these patients reported a family history of aneurysmal disease. The majority were incidental. Of these aneurysms, 3 were of the head and neck, 1 was contained in the thorax, 17 were intra-abdominal and 11 were peripheral. Diagnosis was made by computed tomography, duplex ultrasound, or magnetic resonance imaging. Conservative management was most frequently employed, but four patients underwent surgical repair. Three aneurysms required operation for symptom management (external jugular, subclavian, inferior vena cava), whereas one aneurysm of the popliteal vein was prophylactically managed, given the high risk for pulmonary embolism. Conclusions Primary venous aneurysms present infrequently. Despite their rarity, primary venous aneurysms have been reported to occur throughout the venous system. The majority of primary venous aneurysms in this series were found incidentally and can present both symptomatically or asymptomatically. The findings of our 20-year experience were consistent with the existing literature. Because the risk of rupture is negligible, the indications for surgical management remain for cosmesis, symptom management or high risk of thromboembolic events.
