Abstract
Background: Ruptured middle colic artery aneurysm is extremely uncommon. Diagnosis can be challenging, as symptomatology can be attributed to more common abdominal pathologies. Due to the rarity of this condition, only case reports are available to inform management. Case Presentation: We present the case of a 72-year-old woman with a ruptured middle colic artery aneurysm presenting with signs and symptoms more suggestive of acute calculous cholecystitis. Her co-existing bleed was confirmed on CT angiogram. Coil embolization was initially attempted unsuccessfully. She underwent laparotomy, a middle colic artery ligation, and extended right hemicolectomy with intra-aortic balloon placement for emergency proximal vascular control. Post-operatively, she had a re-bleed that was successfully managed with covered stent placement in the proximal superior mesenteric artery after an unsuccessful re-attempt at coil embolization. Her apparent associated cholecystitis was managed with antibiotics and resolved uneventfully. Conclusion: A middle colic artery aneurysm can be challenging to diagnose and treat. Management options include endovascular techniques, open surgery, or a combination approach. Intra-aortic balloon placement for emergency vascular control is a novel approach that could avoid hemorrhage when intra-abdominal vascular access is challenging.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
