We report a case of a 17-year-old male with Behcet’s disease (BD) with giant celiac artery aneurysm and impending rupture. Over the past 8 weeks, patient began having intermittent back and abdominal pain that worsened and became persistent over the past few days. This was accompanied by anorexia and non-bilious vomiting. Computed tomography angiogram (CTA) demonstrated a wide neck large celiac artery aneurysm (60 mm diameter). Endovascular repair of the aneurysm was performed using stent graft of the aorta and transcatheter coil embolization of the aneurysm sac. Technical success was confirmed by interruption of flow in the aneurysm, and preservation of distal native circulation at the conclusion of the procedure. One-week post-embolization, a CTA demonstrated complete thrombosis of the aneurysm. On follow-up CTA at 3, 6, and 12 months after embolization, the aneurysm has completely thrombosed and decreased in size to 24 mm. Patient remains asymptomatic till date.

Hepatic artery aneurysm is a rare and potentially life-threatening entity. We report a case of ruptured common hepatic artery aneurysm in a patient with Behçet’s disease. The ruptured aneurysm was treated successfully with transcatheter arterial coil embolization. Transcatheter arterial embolization is the preferred treatment modality in patients at high risk of surgical intervention.

Background:Behçet’s disease (BD) or “Silk Road” disease is a rare multisystemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology.Vascular involvement manifested as thrombosis, arterial aneurysm, and occlusion can carry a high mortality risk. BD can be a diagnostic conundrum with its broad array of clinical presentations.Objectives:Identifying vasculo-Behçet’s disease and its management.Methods:A 25-year-old man born in Malaysia and known for cirrhosis due to idiopathic Budd Chiari syndrome presented to the emergency room with a transient ischemic attack. An inferior vena cava (IVC) occlusive thrombus and a patent foramen ovale (PFO) were discovered. Thrombolysis, angioplasty, PFO closure, and a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure were performed. The following year, the patient experienced numerous IVC and TIPS-associated thromboses as well as a right atrial thrombus attached to his PFO closure device, all of which were refractory to anticoagulation. A few months later, the patient suffered from an acute right anterior cerebral artery stroke, with no etiology uncovered at the time. It was later determined that the patient had experienced years of recurrent oral and genital aphthae, thereby prompting a strong clinical suspicion of BD. Six months later, after only one appointment at the rheumatology clinic during which he was prescribed colchicine, the patient presented to the hospital with hemoptysis. A computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiogram revealed a right lower lobar pulmonary arterial aneurysm with a peripheral thrombus, a right bronchial artery dilatation, and pulmonary emboli. The patient declined anticoagulation and was sent home. Two months later, he returned to the hospital, this time with hematemesis. A repeat CT pulmonary angiogram was performed and showed an increasing pulmonary emboli burden and an enlarging aneurysm. A thrombophilia workup was negative.Results:A diagnosis of BD with pulmonary aneurysms was made and treatment was initiated with methylprednisolone pulses and monthly intravenous cyclophosphamide as recommended by the European League Against Rheumatism. A month later, there was radiological evidence of significant improvement in the burden of pulmonary emboli, an interval decrease in the aneurysm’s diameter, and resolution of the right atrial thrombus.Conclusion:BD with vascular involvement or vasculo-Behçet’s disease can affect small, medium, and large vessels of both the venous and arterial vasculatures and is thought to originate from vessel wall inflammation.Thrombi in vasculo-Behçet’s disease are typically quite adherent to the vessel walls and tend not to embolize. In this case, pulmonary arterial thrombosis burden was significantly decreased after immunosuppression alone, favoring a diagnosis of in situ thrombosis rather then thromboembolism. Moreover, pulmonary artery aneurysm, Budd-Chiari syndrome, and vena cava thrombosis, which are quite uncommon and carry the highest mortality risk in vasculo-Behçet’s, were all present in this case. Early recognition can be life-saving as immunosuppression is the first-line therapy rather than anticoagulation, which carries a significant risk of pulmonary hemorrhage in the presence of a pulmonary artery aneurysm.References:[1]Seyahi, E., Behcet’s disease: How to diagnose and treat vascular involvement.

Abstract Pulmonary artery (PA) aneurysm is a very rare complication of Behcet’s disease. We report on a 14-year-old boy with a giant left distal PA aneurysm caused by Behcet’s disease. A left thoracotomy was first performed to separate the aneurysm, but it was interrupted due to continuous and massive tracheorrhagia. We immediately converted to a median sternotomy and established cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The patient’s condition was stable; aneurysmectomy and left-down lobectomy were successfully performed. Results of the 2-year follow-up were favourable. Based on our experience, we recommend selecting CPB when performing surgery on patients with PAA, especially those with Behcet’s disease.
