Mesenteric angina has a high mortality rate. Occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery is the most common cause. Increasingly, it is managed endovascularly instead of by open revascularization. Despite the lower risk of complications in minimally invasive procedures, it is important to be mindful of long-term sequelae of minor complications….
Extracranial carotid artery dissection after blunt trauma may manifest as arterial stenosis or occlusion or as dissecting aneurysm formation.

A diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm of the uterine artery was established radiologically. Pseudoaneurysm of the uterine artery is an uncommon cause of delayed postpartum hemorrhage. This condition can be treated with…
A patient with an axillary artery gunshot wound pseudoaneurysm was evaluated and managed with computed tomographic angiogram and endovascular stent graft. Vascular injuries resulting from penetrating trauma or interventional vascular procedures are relatively uncommon. Subclavian and axillary arterial injuries may be associated with substantial morbidity and mortality if not managed…
