TRANS-PERITONEAL LIGATION OF THE ILIAC ARTERIES.

Ligation of the Internal Iliac and Ovarian Arteries

Internal Iliac (Hypogastric) Artery Ligation

The historical background of ligature of the internal iliac artery for the control of hemorrhage is not clear1. Numerous publications have attributed the procedure to different surgeons in diverse specialties worldwide2–4. In the United Kingdom and the United States, the operation was reported before 1900 and, since then, many surgeons have practiced it and found it useful. Howard Kelly first p...

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....

Thallium uptake by canine iliac arteries.

Most of the thallium uptake by canine iliac arteries (70%) was inhibited by ouabain. The component sensitive to ouabain was significantly increased by incubating tissues in K+-free solution and reduced by low temperatures, metabolic inhibitors, and loading with lithium. The apparent Km for thallium for the ouabain-sensitive uptake was 0.47 +/- 0.046 mM. External K+ inhibited thallium uptake and...

A Case of Severe Hemorrhagic Cystitis Caused by Melphalan with Successful Bladder Preservation by Ligation of Bilateral Internal Iliac Arteries

Hemorrhagic cystitis is a disorder which causes bleeding from diffusely inflammatory bladder mucosa. Here we present a case of severe hemorrhagic cystitis caused by melphalan. A 70-year-old man with multiple myeloma was presented with suddenly commenced massive gross hematuria. During an attempt of transurethral coagulation of bladder mucosa, bladder perforation into peritoneal cavity was suspe...
