The Right

Right coronary artery aneurysms are rare and may result from severe coronary disease, with few cases described in the literature. Mortality is high, and therapy is still controversial. We report the case of a 72-year-old woman with arterial hypertension, and a family history of coronary artery disease, who evolved for 2 months with episodes of palpitations and dyspnea on moderate exertion. During the evaluation, a giant aneurysm was found in the proximal third of the right coronary artery. The patient underwent surgical treatment with grafting of the radial artery to the right coronary artery and ligation of the aneurysmal sac, with good clinical course.

Ongoing Care

Our patient exhibited a large tumor on his right upper arm where his former dialysis access site had been. X-ray, Doppler ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging scan could not fully reveal the nature of that tumor. Eventually, a surgical approach showed a giant aneurysm of the inflowing brachial artery to a partially obliterated arteriovenous fistula. This case highlights the importance of ongoing care for patients with arteriovenous shunts. Even arteriovenous fistulas, that are obliterated or no longer in use, can, especially when immunosuppressant therapy and other vascular risk factors are added to the overall cardiovascular risk, transform and endanger the health of our patients.

✓ This forty-five-year-old woman presented with a history suggestive of an intracranial hemorrhage. Clinical examination indicated mild right pyramidal signs and neck stiffness. Computerized tomography demonstrated contrast enhancement in the region of a left frontal intraparenchymal hematoma with an adjacent subdural hematoma. Angiography revealed the presence of a giant aneurysm on the left anterior ethmoidal artery. Surgical evacuation of the hematoma with excision of the aneurysm and coagulation of the feeding artery was achieved. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Vascular lesions of the anterior ethmoidal artery and the rarity of a giant aneurysm at this site are discussed.

Giant aneurysm of the renal artery is rare even though renal artery aneurysms are diagnosed more often since the introduction of abdominal ultrasonography and selective renal arteriography. A 52-year-old man with an aneurysm of the left renal artery measuring 16 × 13 × 10 cm presented with features of an expanding aneurysm. He underwent resection of the aneurysm and a left nephrectomy.

Abstract The case of a 65-year-old man who had partial left third nerve palsy is reported. Radiographic examination disclosed a completely thrombosed giant suprasellar aneurysm. Although an angiogram appeared to indicate that his aneurysm arose from the distal basilar artery, he was also noted to have an unusual and ectatic distal internal carotid artery on the left side, and this was also felt to be a potential source of the aneurysm. Operative exploration was performed and confirmed the basilar artery as the sight of origin, and definitive therapy was deferred. The patient's progress was monitored, and for 3 years his neurological course was stable and there was no change in his radiographic abnormalities. During the 6 months following this period, the patient developed signs and symptoms of progressing hydrocephalus and was found to have significant enlargement of his still completely thrombosed giant aneurysm. This complicated case highlights the controversy regarding the management of this difficult condition, particularly with regard to endovascular therapies, and also provides insight into the evolution of this dynamic disease process.

Objective Neuroendovascular procedures rely on successful navigation and stable access to the target vessel. The Stabilizer is a 300 cm long exchange wire with a 0.014 diameter and a soft, flexible stent at the distal end designed to assist with navigation and device delivery. This study aims to assess the efficacy of the Stabilizer for navigation in a variety of challenging environments. Methods The efficacy of the Stabilizer was evaluated using three challenging vascular models: a giant aneurysm model, a severe tortuosity model, and an M1 stenosis model. The Stabilizer was compared with a conventional wire during navigation in each model. Results In the giant aneurysm model, there was no significant difference of success during straightening of a looped wire and significantly higher success rates when advancing an intermediate catheter with the Stabilizer beyond the aneurysm neck compared to a conventional guidewire. The Stabilizer also significantly increased success rates when advancing an intermediate catheter through a model with severe tortuosity compared to a conventional guidewire, as well as exchange maneuver for intracranial stenting in a stenosis model compared to an exchange wire. Conclusions In our experimental model, the Stabilizer significantly improved navigation and device delivery in a variety of challenging settings compared to conventional wires.

We report a case of a 74 years old woman presented to the hospital for fever and uncontrolled hypertension. We found, incidentally, a giant aneurysm of the circumflex coronary artery measuring 6.4 x 5.5 cm. We show suggestive CT scan images and multislice reconstructions and a review of the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
