The effects of regional hypotension on femoral resistance artery reactivity and morphology were investigated in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and control Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. A partially constricting ligature (0.4 mm i.d.) was placed around the left external iliac artery at 5 weeks, which resulted in significantly reduced femoral mean arterial pressures distal to the ligature at 12 ...

and Kendall, 1966) as well as a rise and alteration in plasma lipids. In addition, a decrease in fibrinolysis may be present (Cotton, 1967). Hypovolaemia is a usual finding in the nephrotic syndrome, and may be made worse by diuretic therapy. The increase in haematocrit, the vaso-constriction, and sluggish circulation tend to increase the likelihood of intravascular coagulation. Coagulation is ...

The hepatic artery aneurysms are rare, especially in interahepatic branches. The frequency consists of 75-80% extrahepatic and 20-25% intrahepatic. Catheterization is achieved usually from common femoral artery, other methods implemented in the case of unsuccessful catheterization from femoral artery, are translumbar and brachial catheterization.The study consist of 565 patients that were refer...

Femoral artery Pseudoaneurysm (FAP) is one of the most troublesome complications after various invasive radiological procedures related to the femoral arterial access site. Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms (IPA) form when an arterial puncture site fails to seal, allowing arterial blood to ooze into the surrounding tissues and form a pulsatile hematoma. This occurs in 0.8% to 2.2% after interventional...

Objective- Obtaining the normal images ofcolor doppler and estimation ofblood flow velocity parametersof femoral and axillary arteries in dog.Design- Descriptive studyAnimals- 7 healthy adult mixed-breed dogs, weighing 14.3 ± 2.8 kg (mean ± SD).Proceudure- Left and right femoral and axillary arteries of hind and forelimbs were evaluated. Colorand spectral doppler images ofthe each artery were o...

BACKGROUND To analyze differences of access-site complications related to the height of femoral arterial puncture and the use of a vascular closure device (VCD) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A subgroup of the FERARI study being treated by femoral arterial access and valuable inguinal angiography before implantation of a VCD were included. Inguinal angiographies w...

The aim of this study was to investigate the origins of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) in the Turkish population. For this purpose, we investigated 110 inguinal regions of 56 cadavers between 1997 and 2007. The LCFA was found to be branched from the deep femoral artery (DFA) in 85 (77.3%) cases and from the femoral artery (FA) in 21 (19.1%) cases. In two (1.8%) cases the ascending...

A coronary stent may be lost in the peripheral or visceral arterial system with an incidence ranging from 0.9 to 8.4%, however, a limb or organ ischemia after stent migration is very uncommon. We report the case of an 83-year-old man who underwent coronary artery stenting at our Hospital's Cardiological Department. During this difficult procedure, due to the critical stenosis of the circumflex ...

INTRODUCTION Managing advanced head and neck cancer is often a difficult task, particularly when massive invasion of the carotid artery is present. However, en bloc resection can be a curative procedure, and reconstruction of the carotid artery limits the risk for stroke. The aim of this study was to describe the interest, indication, potential risks, and methods by which we carried out resecti...

BACKGROUND Knowledge of the anatomical variations of the profunda femoris artery and its circumflex branches is important during angiographic diagnostic procedures as well as during performing surgery in the femoral region. The aim of this study was to examine the original sites, distances and variations of the profunda femoris artery and its circumflex branches. MATERIALS AND METHODS The stu...
