18M s/p GSW; CTA demonstrates active extravasation from the mid PT in the calf. Angio demonstrates active extrav/pseudoaneurysm at the proximal to mid PT. Embolized with tornado coils x4 with good result. #TraumaIR

The CT showed the large necrotic pseudocyst with definite contrast extravasation consistent with an arterial pseudoaneurysm. #Interventional #Radiology was consulted for further evaluation and treatment. Given acute hgb loss and symptoms, the plan was to proceed with embolization. The patient tolerated coil embolization without any major complications and recovered well and was discharged home. One month follow up scan demonstrated persistent thrombosis of the splenic artery but the coils had partially migrated into the pseudocyst proper. Coil migration has been described before. And in our case, serial imaging demonstrated stable coil embolic positioning thus not requiring surgical intervention. Has anyone else ever encountered this? What methods do you know to help prevent this from occurring?

71 year old female presented for an ultrasound (US) guided biopsy of an oval-shaped mass in her left breast. Successful stereotactic biopsy of the mass in the left breast was performed. Post-procedural #US demonstrated a 8.72 cm hematoma (Figure 1). Manual pressure was unable to control bleeding and #CTA revealed a large hematoma in the left breast with active arterial bleeding evidenced by extravasation of contrast media into the hematoma (Figure 2). What is the most common contributing branch to an arterial bleed from a breast biopsy? What is your next step in management?

This is multifocal embolic disease without identifiable etiology. Abrupt occlusion of mid-distal R. radial artery. Multiple occlusions in proximal & mid R. ulnar & common interosseous arteries. Multiple occlusions of R. princeps pollicis & digital arteries. Abrupt occlusion of R. posterior humeral circumflex artery. Findings represent R. upper extremity embolic disease secondary to quadrilateral space syndrome. Improved flow at day 2, following Uni-Fuse® catheter placement in distal brachial artery for lysis.

Incidentally found 4.6 cm angiomyolipoma (AML) in the left renal upper pole. The main complication of AML is life threatening retroperitoneal bleeding. Asymptomatic AML > 4 cm and symptomatic lesions of any size should be treated. Left renal angiogram demonstrated hypervascular lesion with microaneurysms, dense early arterial network and absent AV shunting. Superselective angiogram of the upper pole demonstrates the supply to the AML. Transarterial embolization of a left upper pole AML was performed with Lipiodol and alcohol. Post embo images demonstrate exclusion of the tumoral arteries.
