Article Abstract
Aneurysm of the descending aorta associated with CoA is an extremely rare congenital abnormality. In this report, we present a 16 months old female patient in whom cardiac catheterization had been performed which had revealed a segment of coarctation and saccular aneurysm in the descending aorta. The patient was operated and a 3x2 centimeters aneurysm which embraces the coarcted segment in descending aorta was resected. In summary, we present a case of saccular aortic aneurysm distal to aortic coarctation in an infant without any history of intervention or vascular inflammatory disease. Our case report seems to be the youngest patient in literature with this pathology.

Aims: Non-pharmacological therapies for acute decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock have evolved considerably in recent decades. Short-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices can be used as circulatory backup. While nearly all available devices use continuous flow, evidence indicates that pulsatile flow can be more effective.

Objective: Anastomotic pseudoaneurysms are complications of previous open aortic repair resulting from the loss of anastomotic structural integrity. Our goal was to describe surgical repair (open or endovascular) for these late complications and present early and long-term outcomes.
Methods: We identified 102 patients (median age, 61 y [range: 47-71 y]) who underwent 108 repairs to treat anastomotic pseudoaneurysm of the distal (ie, descending thoracic or thoracoabdominal) aorta; all patients previously underwent open distal aortic repair.

Background: Iatrogenic thoracic aortic injury (TAI) is a rare but well-recognized complication of spine surgery, lacking standardized treatment guidelines due to its rarity and variability of manifestations.
Methods: We present a new case of TAI successfully managed with endovascular repair and systematically reviewed 52 articles (1991-2024) reporting 64 cases, including demographics, surgical indications, injury patterns, and treatments.
Results: A 53-year-old man with a T7 fracture underwent posterior spinal instrumentation and developed chest pain due to a combination of impingement and screw penetration into the thoracic aorta and was treated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and removal of pedicle screws.

Background: Azygos vein aneurysm (AVA) is a rare thoracic pathology that is frequently misdiagnosed. While contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can delineate AVA location and size, these techniques lack the capability for dynamic real-time assessment of internal architecture.
Case Presentation: We present a highly unusual case of a 67-year-old woman who had an isolated azygos vein aneurysm presenting with dysphagia.
