Isolated left-sided partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with intact interatrial septum is a rare diagnosis in childhood. In these cases, a vertical vein drains the left upper pulmonary lobe into the brachiocephalic vein and finally to the right atrium. Surgical treatment is performed to prevent right ventricular failure and pulmonary artery disease in advanced age. In this report, the...

caspian miniature horse is a rare small horse in iran. in this horse, brachiocephalic trunk originates from the craniodorsal of the convex part of the aortic arch. it supplies the head, neck, forelimbs and cranial part of the thoracic cavity. in this reseach topographical location of brachiocephalic trunk arising from the aorta and its ramifications have been studied. five caspian miniature hor...

Transluminal angioplasty of brachiocephalic vessels for atherosclerotic lesions is now being performed in selected cases. We have thus far treated 17 cases of vertebral artery stenosis and one case of basilar artery stenosis by intravascular balloon dilatation techniques. Clinical presenting symptoms included vertebral basilar insufficiency, repeated transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), and multi...

Abstract Introduction Due to the clinical implications of stroke in patients, “2IQBIONEURO” project promoted by Interreg VA Spain-Portugal programme (POCTEP) aims study treatment neurological diseases associated with ageing. The aim was evaluate feasibility technique selective cerebral artery (CA) embolisation for creation a model rabbits. Methods In 3 rabbits, through 4Fr introducer femoral ar...

We herein report the case of a 75-year-old woman with a paradoxical cerebral air embolism (CAE). She developed a bilateral visual disturbance at the time of needle puncture during a computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous needle lung biopsy in the face down position. The air density within the descending aorta on chest CT suggested the presence of a cerebral air embolism. Brain MRI demonst...

A 51-year-old man underwent two percutaneous transluminal angioplasties with stenting for a dissection that extended from the right brachiocephalic trunk into the proximal part of the internal carotid artery. The patient presented with transient dysphasia one month after surgical treatment of a type A dissecting aortic aneurysm. Initially, he was managed with conservative treatment, with no eff...

Intravenous digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed in 111 patients with vertebrobasilar ischemia. Ninety percent of the vertebral images were of diagnostic quality; 23% of the basilar images were good quality and 53% fair quality; and 58% of the posterior cerebral images were poor. Compared with selective film arteriography in 23 patients, DSA tended to underestimate the degree of ...

Case: A 55-year-old man without past medical histories suffering from back pain for two weeks was successfully resuscitated from an 8-min cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) and was brought to our hospital by ambulance. Computed tomography demonstrated type A acute aortic dissection (AAAD) with brachiocephalic artery occlusion. After admission, Glasgow Coma Scale score improved to E1VTM4, and voluntar...
