Occult Foreign Body Aspiration Resulting in Massive Hemoptysis from Bronchial Artery Pseudoaneurysm

Stacey Speer, Gillian Ross, Mark Landis, Ian Ross, Richard Inculet and Daniele Wiseman

Abstract

Occult foreign body aspiration can present as a diagnostic challenge due to the poor awareness of events and often lack of specific clinical symptoms to facilitate the diagnosis. We report a case of an exceedingly rare clinical presentation with unique co-existing features involving a foreign body aspiration with subsequent development of a potentially catastrophic rupture of a bronchial
artery pseudoaneurysm. Interventional radiology performed a bronchial artery embolization, which successfully occluded the right bronchial artery and thereby provided immediate hemostasis and a significant reduction in patient morbidity and potential mortality

Clinical Evaluation of a Mitral Valve Simulation Application Used to Support Planning of Transcatheter Edge to Edge Repair Procedures
Klaus Fuglsang Kofoed, Michael Huy Cuong Pham, James Vincent Chapman, Jesper James Linde, Ole de Backer, Lars Valeur Køber, Fumimasa Shige, Gakuto Aoyama, and Takuya Sakaguchi Background: Transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) in the setting of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) has experienced increased usage in recent years. To select appropriate candidates and plan for
A Comparison of Complication Rates between Transhepatic and Transperitoneal Percutaneous Cholecystostomy Routes in the Treatment of Acute Cholecystitis
Rebecca Hopkins, Alexandra Hodder and Andrew Dalton Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is an interventional radiology procedure used to treat gallbladder-related complications in patients who are poor surgical candidates for cholecystectomy. It can be performed via a transperitoneal (TP) or transhepatic (TH) approach, though the literature remains inconclusive on which route is superior.
Gluteal Mass Encountered During Nerve Conduction Velocity/Electromyography Exam
Shaun Wang, Ralph Wells, Steven Wang, Yi He and Xiaohong Si Foot drop is a common symptom that often requires further neurologic evaluation via electromyography (EMG). This case details a 57-year-old male who presented with left lower extremity pain, paresthesia, and foot drop.
Radiology Residents’ Reporting Volumes and Outcomes on Standardized Testing
Alexandra Hodder and Lisa Smyth Purpose: Preparation for in-training and licensing examinations is a key component of radiology residency, with potential long-term career impacts. While case volume is often emphasized in training, its relationship with examination outcomes remains unclear.
