background vascular ring is less than 1% of congenital heart disease. double aortic arch (daa) is the most common form of it.  its detecting is important because of the effects of pressure on the esophagus and trachea. case report in this study, three children suffering from double aortic arch with symptoms of dysphagia and recurrent aspiration, which in two cases had led to cardiac arrest, wer...

s:865:"We read with interest the manuscript entitled "Serum and peritoneal fluid levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in women with endometriosis" recently published in the International Journal of Fertility and Sterility (1). The authors measured the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in serum and peritoneal fluid of 179 women, 90 of whom were diagnosed with endometriosis, an...

Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has become an important monitoring device for patients undergoing cardiac or noncardiac surgery. Complications associated with TEE are unusual, but the potential for TEE probe compression of the posterior vascular structures has been reported in pediatric patients. We present here a case of occlusion of the right subclavian artery in an adul...

Congenital ring constrictions have been recorded in the arm, forearm, wrist and fingers of the upper limb and leg, foot and toes of the lower limb.' They may vary in depth from shallow grooves to deep constrictions.' Deep constrictions interfere with the lymphatic and vascular circulation in the distal parts of the limb. 2 This case report illustrates the acute vascular compression they can pro...

The area of “Zelinska glava”, under the protection Public Institution “Green Ring Zagreb County (Zeleni prsten Zagrebačke županije)”, covers an 9.5 km². Research into area’s vascular flora was conducted during growing seasons 2019 and 2020. A total 330 taxa were recorded, classified within 82 plant families. Fourteen species bryophytes added to list flora. most common families are Compositae (1...

Background/Introduction Percutaneous interventions for cardiac disease are on the increase worldwide. Acute complications of interventions include vessel dissection, total occlusion, thrombosis etc. Other than the complications associated with the disease process and the disturbances to the vascular endothelium mechanical complications due to mishandling of or mishaps with the device itself can...

BACKGROUND Myeloid cells have been associated with physiological and pathological angiogenesis, but their exact functions in these processes remain poorly defined. Monocyte-derived tissue macrophages of the CNS, or microglial cells, invade the mammalian retina before it becomes vascularized. Recent studies correlate the presence of microglia in the developing CNS with vascular network formation...

This study reports our early experience with thoracoscopic division of vascular rings. Three patients were reviewed; their ages at surgery were 25 months, 4 years, and 57 years. All patients were suffering from complete vascular rings involving combinations of the right aortic arch, left ligamentum arteriosum, Kommerell's diverticulum, and retroesophageal left subclavian artery. The median surg...

Congenital anomalies of the great thoracic vessels have been reported in 20% of dogs and cats. In some cases, the vascular ring anomalies remain unrecognized throughout the lifetime of an animal. This report describes a case with an unusual vascular ring anomaly (VRA) that was detected during dissection on a cadaver of an approximately two-year-old male native mixed breed dog. No history of the...
