A 57 years old woman was admitted for the investigation of anginal chest pain. Her coronary angiography didn't show any typical finding seen in the aortitis syndrome, but coronary sclerosis and stenosis seen in the usual atherosclerotic patients. The cerebral angiography was performed, too. The right vertebral artery, which was tortuous and dilated, was seen, but the other three cerebral vessels were not seen. These rare findings were reported in this report. We added the discussion about the relation between the aortitis syndrome and angina pectoris.

Intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunts (IPVS) are rare, except for the minute ones observed in cirrhotic liver. This report concerns a case with frequent episodes of consciousness loss, diagnosed as IPVS and multiple hemangioma-like lesions of the liver by US, CT and angiography. To our knowledge, this is the first report of association of IPVS and such angiographically evident hemangioma-like lesions of the liver. The etiology of IPVS is mostly considered to be congenital though, there are still many arguments about it. The relation between IPVS and the hemangioma-like lesions of the liver is discussed.

Intravenous DSA (IVDSA) was evaluated as a screening method for cerebral aneurysms. It was performed 390 times in 372 cases. Clinically useful images were obtained in 94.1% in all examinations. Nineteen aneurysms were visualized in cerebral angiography among 21 cases with SAH or 3rd nerve palsy, whereas in IVDSA 15 aneurysms were noted. Aneurysms not visualized in IVDSA were all 4 mm or less in size. Therefore, aneurysms, more than 4 mm in size, which have higher risks for rupture, were detectable in IVDSA. Based on these findings, IVDSA is considered to be clinically useful in screening for aneurysms. In all 372 cases, 33 aneurysms were suspected in IVDSA findings, whereas in cerebral angiography 21 of them turned to be aneurysms. Such 12 false positive cases were distributed mainly at anterior communicating and middle cerebral arteries. Improvement of image resolution, avoidance of vessel overlapping and proper selection of screened cases should be investigated for further development of this screening method.

Hemobilia occurred in a 70 year old female from the left hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm induced by PTBD. A Tracker-18 catheter introduced into the left lateral posterior hepatic artery superselectively and embolization was performed with both sponge gel and Ivalon. This new coaxial catheter system allowed selective occlusion of the hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms with minimal loss of liver function.
