1 Intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm due to stab wound Seishiro Sekino, MD, a Hisato Takagi, MD, PhD, a Hajime Kubota, MD, PhD, b Takayoshi Kato, MD, a Yukihiro Matsuno, MD, PhD, a and Takuya Umemoto, MD, PhD, a Shizuoka, Japan Intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm is extremely rare, and only six cases have been reported in the English literature. We describe a case of intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm due to a stab wound, review the literature, and discuss therapeutic modalities. Intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm is at risk for early rupture, and diagnosis before rupture is mandatory. Although embolization is considered to be a feasible therapeutic method, we would emphasize the significance of the anatomic features of the intercostal arteries: multiple blood supplies into the pseudoaneurysm, such as the anterior and posterior intercostal arteries, and musculophrenic artery. (J Vasc Surg 2005;42:352-6.) Intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm is extremely rare, and only six cases have been reported in the English literature. 1-6 We describe a case of intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm due to a stab wound, review the literature, and discuss therapeutic modalities. CASE REPORT A 36-year-old man attempted suicide by stabbing his left chest with a knife. Physical examinations showed a cm stab wound on the midclavicular line and in the sixth intercostal space. The wound was assumed to be 5 cm deep by examination with a probe and was assumed to reach into the thoracic cavity. Chest x-ray photography showed left pleural effusion without pneumothorax. Computed tomography (CT) scans with contrast medium showed a 2 3-cm nonenhanced mass, within which the intercostal artery was enhanced, in the chest wall (Fig 1, A). The mass compressed the lateral segment of the liver and was suspected to be a hematoma. Thoracocentesis was performed, and 2000 ml of bloody fluid was drained. The patient recovered from hemorrhagic shock with blood transfusion, and little blood was drained after the thoracocentesis. On the second hospital day, the thoracostomy tube was removed because the amount of the drained fluid was only 70 ml/d. On the ninth hospital day, rethoracocentesis and blood transfusion were performed because of increased hemothorax on chest radiographs and the progression of anemia. Chest CT scans with contrast medium showed an enhanced mass in the intercostal space (Fig 1, B). Doppler ultrasound scans showed blood flow within the homogeneous low-echoic lesion. Arteriography of the musculophrenic artery via the internal thoracic artery showed a pseudoaneurysm of the sixth intercostal artery (Fig 2, A). The patient underwent embolization of the sixth anterior intercostal artery just branched from the musculophrenic artery via the internal thoracic artery with a microcatheter (3F Fastracker-325 Infusion Catheter; Boston Scientific, Cork, From the Departments of Cardiovascular Surgery a and Radiology, b Shizuoka Medical Center.

Postembolization arteriography of the musculophrenic artery via the internal thoracic artery showed no enhancement of the pseudoaneurysm (Fig 2, B). Arteriography of the sixth posterior intercostal artery via the descending thoracic aorta showed interruption of the artery just proximal to the pseudoaneurysm (Fig 2, C). Doppler ultrasound scans showed a little flow within the pseudoaneurysm. Two weeks after the embolization, however, Doppler ultrasound scans showed increased flow within the pseudoaneurysm, and chest CT scans with contrast medium revealed the enhanced pseudoaneurysm. Arteriography of both the musculophrenic artery via the internal thoracic artery (Fig 3, A) and the sixth posterior intercostal artery via the descending thoracic aorta (Fig 3, B) showed no enhancement of the pseudoaneurysm. Arteriography of the eighth posterior intercostal artery via the descending thoracic aorta showed the musculophrenic artery feeding the pseudoaneurysm (Fig 3, C). We embolized the sixth posterior intercostal artery and the musculophrenic artery via the seventh and eighth posterior intercostal arteries with the microcatheter and microcoils in the same way as the first embolization. Chest CT scans with contrast medium showed the nonenhanced pseudoaneurysm two weeks after the re-embolization, and Doppler ultrasound scans confirmed no flow within the pseudoaneurysm two months after the intervention. DISCUSSION Intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm has been seldom reported, and there have been only six cases in the English literature. 1-6 The clinical findings of these cases are summarized in the Table. Six patients were men, and one was a woman; they ranged in age from 31 to 85 years (mean, 59 years). Symptoms were hemothorax in five patients and a pulsatile mass in one. Causes of the pseudoaneurysm were surgical procedures approached by way of the intercostal space in five patients and trauma in two patients, including the present case. A stab wound has not been described as the cause except for in our patient. Most patients experienced hemothorax and needed blood transfusions. In patients with massive hemothorax after chest trauma or surgical procedures via the intercostal space, an intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm should be sus-

In three cases, including the present one, delayed hemothorax due to suspicious rupture of an unnoticed intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm occurred two to four weeks after trauma or surgical procedures. Intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm may be at risk for early rupture after the formation, and diagnosis before rupture is important. Regarding the treatment of intercostal artery pseudoaneurysms, two patients underwent surgical therapy, one received conservative management, and four received endovascular intervention: embolization in three patients and cover stent grafting in one. Recently, embolization has been considered to be the first therapeutic method of ruptured pseudoaneurysm. 3 In hepatic arterial pseudoaneurysms due to percutaneous interventions or peripancreatic pseudoaneurysms associated with pancreatitis, the success rates of embolization are more than 75% Although we also performed coil embolization for the intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm, recurrent blood flow within the pseudoaneurysm was shown two weeks later. Aoki et al 6 have performed aneurysmectomy after unsuccessful embolization of a ruptured intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm. Several authors 3,4 have reported endovascular interventions except for coil embolization. Yamakado et al 3 have reported that embolization with n-butyl cyanoacrylate is a feasible and useful treatment for ruptured pseudoaneurysms, including an intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm, difficult to control by coil embolization alone. Callaway et al 4 have used a covered coronary stent in the internal thoracic artery for an intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm. We failed to interrupt the blood supply into the pseudoaneurysm completely for the first time because of insufficient knowledge of anatomic features of the intercostal arteries. The first arteriograph showed that the pseudoaneurysm was fed not by the sixth posterior intercostal artery but by the sixth anterior intercostal artery, and embolization of the only sixth anterior intercostal artery was performed. In the second arteriograph, however, it was revealed that the musculophrenic artery, into which the seventh and eighth posterior intercostal arteries flowed, fed the pseudoaneurysm. The internal thoracic artery divides into the musculophrenic and superior epigastric arteries at the level of the sixth intercostal space, and the musculophrenic artery gives off anterior intercostal arteries to the lower intercostal spaces (the sixth to ninth intercostal spaces in this case; Fig 3, D). In case of endovascular intervention for an intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm, we should note multiple blood supplies into the pseudoaneurysm, such as the anterior and posterior intercostal arteries and musculophrenic artery. Type II endoleaks after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms and congenital arteriovenous malformations are fed by multiple feeding arteries, and the intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm in this case was also fed by the anterior and posterior intercostal arteries and musculophrenic artery. Initial attempts at treating these lesions include coiling of the feeding artery. However, because of continued perfusion from other feeding vessels that may be small and sometimes invisible at the time of the initial coiling, treatment failures have been often encountered. For this reason, the current recommendation for treatment of these conditions has evolved to embolizing the nidus, or the aneurysm itself, as opposed to the feeding artery. 15 In our case, embolization of the pseudoaneurysm itself may have resulted in initial success. The presence of multiple vessels feeding the endoleak is associated with a significantly higher failure rate after transarterial embolization, and in these cases, the translumbar approach may be a more effective treatment. However, in type II endoleaks with a small nidus, it may be difficult to enter the nidus

Intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm is rare and at risk for early rupture, and diagnosis before rupture is mandatory. Although embolization is considered to be a feasible therapeutic method, we would emphasize the significance of the anatomic features of the intercostal artery. REFERENCES 1.
