Clinical Case Reports
|July 18, 2022
Summary
A pulsatile mass in a 61-year-old woman was diagnosed as arteriovenous malformation with pseudoaneurysm. Surgical intervention successfully treated this rare vascular condition.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
Background:
- Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex congenital vascular anomalies.
- Pseudoaneurysms can arise secondary to trauma or vascular procedures.
Observation:
- A 61-year-old female presented with a pulsatile mass in her left upper limb.
- Initial diagnosis was arteriovenous malformation with pseudoaneurysm.
Findings:
- A two-stage surgical approach was employed.
- This involved ligation and resection of aberrant vascular branches.
- Subsequent resection of the mass with revascularization was performed.
- Histological confirmation of arteriovenous malformation and pseudoaneurysm was obtained.
Implications:
- This case highlights a successful surgical strategy for complex limb vascular lesions.
- Effective management of arteriovenous malformation with pseudoaneurysm can restore limb function.
- Surgical intervention remains a viable option for managing these rare vascular pathologies.

The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

The external iliac artery transitions out of the body cavity, entering the femoral region of the lower leg, and is renamed the femoral artery at the point where it traverses the body wall. This artery is responsible for the distribution of blood to the thigh's deep muscles and the skin's ventral and lateral regions, achieved through several minor branches and the lateral deep femoral artery, which also spawns a lateral circumflex artery. The knee area receives blood from the genicular...

The human circulatory system, a marvel of biological engineering, is a complex network of vessels that transport blood throughout the body. Among these, the veins responsible for carrying blood from the upper limbs are divided into two categories: deep and superficial.
The deep venous system is primarily composed of the ulnar and radial veins. The ulnar vein, which drains the fingers through the superficial palmar venous arches, and the radial vein, which serves the palms via the deep palmar...

270
Hemodialysis (HD) is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions effectively. In this process, blood is filtered through a semipermeable membrane, allowing for the selective removal of waste while preserving necessary components like blood cells and proteins. Hemodialysis is typically performed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney...

An aortic aneurysm is a localized outpouching or dilation at a weak point in the artery wall. It may involve different parts of the aorta, such as the abdominal aorta, aortic arch, or thoracic aorta.Etiological factorsSeveral disorders are associated with aortic aneurysms.Congenital causes, such as primary connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome, impact the integrity and strength of connective tissues, notably affecting the aorta. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that specifically...

The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.
