The Arch of Aorta

The Arch of Aorta

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.
Encircling the heart, the coronary arteries form a ring-like structure before...

Arteries of the Head and Neck

Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Aneurysm I: Introduction

Aneurysm I: Introduction

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...

Anastomoses

Anastomoses

In human anatomy, anastomosis refers to a connection or opening between two things, particularly between blood vessels or other tubular structures. The term is derived from the Greek term 'anastomosis,' which means 'outlet' or 'opening.' This natural network of connections plays a critical role in the survival and functionality of the human body.
Anastomoses can be formed at arterial, venous, and lymphatic vessels.
Arterial Anastomosis: These occur between arteries. They are most common in...

Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...

Summary

A 90-year-old patient

Area of Science:

Vascular Surgery
Interventional Radiology
Infectious Diseases

Background:

A 90-year-old male presented with a progressively enlarging neck mass.
The mass was diagnosed as a pseudoaneurysm at the right common carotid artery bifurcation.
Patient had a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the successful endovascular management of a large carotid artery pseudoaneurysm.
To discuss the potential infectious etiology of the pseudoaneurysm.

Main Methods:

Diagnosis confirmed by ultrasound and CT angiography.
Endovascular repair using a stent graft.
Simultaneous embolization of the external carotid artery.

Keywords:

Staphylococcus aureus carotid artery case report endovascular surgery pseudoaneurysm stent grafting stentgraft

Procedure performed via the right common femoral artery.

Main Results:

Complete exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm achieved.
Significant regression of the neck mass observed.
No neurological complications occurred post-procedure.
Blood cultures positive for Staphylococcus aureus, suggesting an infectious origin.

Conclusions:

Endovascular treatment is a viable option for carotid artery pseudoaneurysms.
Infectious etiology should be considered in cases of pseudoaneurysm without clear trauma or intervention history.
Multidisciplinary approach is crucial for optimal patient management.
