  Endovascular treatment of a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm using a novel pericardium covered stent

  Summary Visceral and renal artery aneurysms (VRAAs) and pseudoaneurysms are rare. Their increasing incidence is largely thought to be due to advances in medical imaging. Twenty percent of VRAAs occur in hepatic arteries, with approximately fifty percent of these represented by pseudoaneurysms, which are prone to spontaneous rupture. Many treatments for VRAAs exist, with the endovascular approach being favoured. Treatment aims to preserve viscera

  Summary Calcific tendinosis is characterized by macroscopic deposits of hydroxyapatite within the tendon. Commonest location is rotator cuff of shoulder. Cortical erosion with intraosseous migration of calcium deposits is rare complication of this condition. It may be confused with neoplasm or infection, resulting in unnecessary biopsies or interventions. The knowledge of this uncommon complication and its appearance should enable its detection
