Background Bronchial artery aneurysms (BAAs) are a rare vascular entity. They can have various presentations ranging from an incidental finding on radiological examination to life‐threatening hemoptysis. Material and Methods We report the case of a 60‐year‐old woman with three posterior mediastinal BAAs who presented with unilateral periscapular pain, shortness of breath, hoarseness, and dysphagia. The BAAs were removed successfully via thoracotomy, with excellent recovery and relief of the periscapular pain. Discussion and Conclusion We use this case as a platform to discuss the treatment options for BAAs.

True deep femoral artery aneurysms are a rare abnormality of the human vascular system and account for approximately 0.13% of all peripheral arterial aneurysms. We report a 66-year-old man with a ruptured deep femoral artery aneurysm and a pulsating hematoma. The patient underwent urgent endovascular embolization of the aneurysm-supplying artery. Then, 4 days later, in connection with the residual hematoma, which caused severe discomfort to the patient, and also due to the high risk of septic complications in the area of the hematoma, it was decided to perform an open aneurysmectomy and deep femoral artery ligation.

Background: Aortic root aneurysms are traditionally treated by open surgery methods, which significantly increase the risk of postoperative complications. Elderly patients with a history of previous cardiac surgery have a higher risk of postoperative events and demand more careful supervision during hospitalization. Materials & Methods: We report a case of a 72‐year‐old female patient with aortic root aneurysm and a previous history of cardiac surgery (CABG) with a high risk for EuroSCORE II (15,52%). The postoperative period was uneventful. Discussion and Conclusion: We use this case to discuss the effectiveness and short‐term results of this procedure in patients with high risk. Keywords: aortic aneurysm, CABG, hemiarch reconstruction
