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.
Penetrating wounds of the vertebral artery is an extremely rare pathology; its weight is not large even among the damages of the cervical vessels. This life-threatening state due to its rarity is not always diagnosed in time, and in case of a timely diagnostics, it is a complicated task for a surgeon. The paper presents the data regarding prevalence of penetrating damages of the vertebral arteries, anatomy and development of these vessels, methods of diagnostics and treatment of these wounds as well as complications and outcomes.
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.
