Iliac arteries in children with a single umbilical artery. Structure, calcifications, and early atherosclerotic lesions.

Meyer, W. W., and Lind, J. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 671. Iliac arteries in children with a single umbilical artery: structure, calcifications, and early atherosclerotic lesions. With a single umbilical artery a unique haemodynamic situation arises during fetal development, resulting in a different calibre and structure of the iliac arteries on the two sides of the body. On ...

Infections of the aorta and iliac arteries

Infections of the aorta, eventually associated with aneurysm development, are rare (0.5-2.6%) with higher rates observed in Eastern countries (13%) 1-6. Only small series are available from the literature, so it is very difficult to identify risk factors for this disease; most patients are aged, with generalized sepsis and serious comorbidities often associated with a depressed immune response....
