We describe a deceased-donor liver transplant recipient with grade 3 complete portal vein and superior mesenteric vein thromboses, which was successfully managed with an extensive thrombectomy through the venotomy site of superior mesenteric vein. In this case report, we suggest our method as an option for grade 3 portal vein thromboses, and discuss other options available for recipients with p...

BACKGROUND In hepatosplenic schistosomiasis occurs diffuse hepatic fibrosis associated with venous congestion of the portal system resulting in hepatosplenomegaly. It can produce digestive hemorrhage caused by rupture of esophageal and stomach varices or peptic gastroduodenal mucosal lesions. AIM To study the effects of splenectomy and ligature of the left gastric vein on portohepatic hemodyn...

tor of the liver was identified as an aberrant coronary vein ( fig. 1 ). A superior mesenteric arterioportogram revealed portal vein obstruction, resulting in portal blood flowing back to the right gastroepiploic and splenic veins. Venous blood of the lesser curvature then drained into the left portal system via the aberrant coronary vein ( fig. 2 ). Cavernous transformation of the portal vein ...

UNLABELLED 62 year old Caucasian female with pancreatic head mass abutting the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) presented with fine needle aspiration biopsy confirmed diagnosis of ductal adenocarcinoma. CT scan showed near complete obstruction of portal vein and large SMV collateral development. After 3 months of neoadjuvant therapy, her portal vein flow improved significantly, SMV collateral cir...

This study was done to identify the normal and variants of saphenous tributaries in Korean adults. The pattern of confluence of saphenous tributaries, medial accessory saphenous, lateral accessory saphenous, superficial epigastric, superficial circumflex iliac and superficial external pudendal veins, was carefully examined in 249 lower limbs (right, 129; left, 120) of embalmed Korean cadavers (...

The formation of leaf vein patterns has fascinated biologists for centuries. Transport of the plant signal auxin has long been implicated in vein patterning, but molecular details have remained unclear. Varied evidence suggests a central role for the plasma-membrane (PM)-localized PIN-FORMED1 (PIN1) intercellular auxin transporter of Arabidopsis thaliana in auxin-transport-dependent vein patter...

Introduction The venous drainage of head and neck is divided into superficial and deep jugular systems. The deep jugular system consists of internal jugular vein and the superficial system consists of external and anterior jugular vein. External jugular vein is formed by the union of the posterior division of retromandibular vein and the posterior auricular vein below the ear in the substance o...
