Article Abstract
Internal carotid artery dissection and pseudoaneurysm is a rare vascular abnormality that can result in a wide range of morbidity and mortality. There is a variety of treatment options that are often dependent on the degree of presenting symptoms. The case presented herein is that of a 43-year-old man that is otherwise healthy presenting with cranial neuropathy related to a left internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm. Although cases can be medically managed, in symptomatic patients, stent grafting provides the greatest risk/benefit ratio.

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.
Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but life-threatening condition. Initial management typically includes thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) or aortic graft replacement to achieve hemostasis, followed by esophagectomy with aortic graft replacement and greater omentum wrapping to eliminate the source of infection. We report a case of successful endoscopic closure of a chronic esophageal fistula secondary to AEF.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a commonly performed procedure for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. While it is generally considered a low-risk procedure, one of the rare potentially life-threatening complications includes aortic dissection. We report the case of a 75-year-old immunocompromised female who presented 2 weeks post-TAVR with persistent and worsening dyspnea, intermittent chest pain, and hypoxia.

Introduction: Pseudoaneurysm of the right subclavian artery is very rare, and its most serious complication is rupture, which is unpredictable and fatal. Among the infectious causes, tuberculous pseudoaneurysms represent an exceptionally rare but significant subset, arising from the direct invasion of the arterial wall by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Case Report: We present the case of a 60-year-old hypertensive male diagnosed with a right subclavian artery septic pseudoaneurysm, which is rare but serious, often resulting from an infection that weakens the arterial wall.

Introduction: Celiac trunk dissection is an extremely rare vascular injury in the setting of blunt abdominal trauma, accounting for less than 0.01 % of all trauma cases. Despite its rarity, this condition carries significant clinical relevance due to the celiac artery's role in perfusing vital upper abdominal organs.
