Aggressive Giant Extraskeletal Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Thigh
Proença Caetano, António; Neves, Teresa; Pedrosa, Carlos; Portela, José; Gomes, Filipe Veloso; Coimbra, Élia; Bilhim, TiagoAneurysmal bone cysts are vascular benign fibroblastic lesions usually found in bone that are locally destructive, with a greater incidence in the first and second decades of life. Patients usually undergo curettage or, less frequently, surgical resection, which may lead to growth disturbances and deformities in cases of large or complex lesions. Minimally invasive techniques such as sclerotherapy and endovascu...

Adrenal Vein Sampling in the Management of Primary Aldosteronism
Manique, Inês; Amaral, Sara; Matias, Alexandra; Bouça, Bruno; Serranito, Salomé; Torres, João; Gutu, Olga; Bilhim, Tiago; Coimbra, ÉliaCopyright © 2023 Inês Manique et al.; INTRODUCTION: Primary aldosteronism is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Adrenal vein sampling is the gold standard for subtyping primary aldosteronism. However, this procedure is technically challenging and often has a low success rate. Our center is one of the very few performing this technique in our country with an increasing experience. OBJECTIVE: The ai...

Transarterial Embolization of Iatrogenic Cystic Artery Pseudoaneurysm
Proença, Ana Luísa; Veloso Gomes, Filipe; Costa, Nuno; Bilhim, Tiago; Luz, José Hugo; Coimbra, ÉliaCystic artery pseudoaneurysm (CAP) is a rare entity most often resulting from inflammatory conditions (acute cholecystitis or pancreatitis) or iatrogenic trauma (cholecystectomy). We report the case of a 73-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding after an episode of acute cholecystitis and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for choledocolithiasis removal. Comp...
Embolization with Onyx of an arterial pseudoaneurysm with an arteriovenous fist...
Simões Ferreira, Ana Isabel; Gomes, Filipe Veloso; Bilhim, Tiago; Coimbra, ÉliaPercutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has proven very effective in the management of renal stones. However, complications are not so rare, and bleeding is one of the most worrisome; it has a reported incidence of 1%-3% and may happen during track dilatation. In addition, arterial pseudoaneurysms and/or arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) may occur. We report the case of a patient with an intrarenal pseudoaneurysm associ...
Recurrent Stroke in a Young Woman with a Single Pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula
Sousa, Sandra; Vasco Costa, Nuno; Carmona, Cátia; Coimbra, Élia; Pita, FernandoIntroduction: Cryptogenic stroke is present in about 40% of ischemic stroke patients. Extracardiac shunt related to pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) could be a rare potential risk factor for embolic stroke. Most PAVFs are multiple, congenital, and associated with hereditary conditions. On the other hand, isolated PAVFs are rare conditions and an uncommon cause of cryptogenic stoke. Case Report: We describ...
