A case of recurrent acute pancreatitis due to haemobilia secondary to a bleeding hepatic artery aneurysm is presented. Embolization of the hepatic artery resulted in cessation of bleeding and resolution of pancreatitis.

The oxygen limitation theory states that capillarization of the sinusoidal endothelium in cirrhosis impairs hepatocellular oxygen uptake manifesting as a reduction in oxygen-dependent enzyme activity including phase 1 drug metabolism. The hepatic artery supplies highly oxygenated blood to the liver. Therefore, we tested whether augmentation of hepatic arterial blood flow could improve hepatic o...

The pine marten (Martes martes) is a medium sized carnivore rarely found in Iran. The aim of this study was to describe species-specific characteristics of the celiac artery in pine marten. In pine marten examined in this study, it was observed that the celiac artery originated from the ventral aspect of abdominal aorta. The celiac artery was divided into two branches. A thick branch was the co...

OBJECTIVE We report a rare but serious case of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage from hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION An 11-year-old child with a history of hepatic trauma 6 months before was admitted for hematemesis and melena. Repeat ultrasound examination showed a 3.6 × 2.8 cm anechoic area with clear border in the right hepatic lobe. Selective angiogr...

Clinical Presentation and Intervention: An 11-yearold child with a history of hepatic trauma 6 months before was admitted for hematemesis and melena.

This paper was designed to evaluate a novel surgical procedure of using a gastroduodenal artery graft for reconstruction of the hepatic artery during radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma, which is citation-free and self-contained. In this paper we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data, surgical procedure, and follow-up results in nine patients who underwent hepatic artery reconstr...

Objective: To investigate pathological alterations in morphologies of the portal vein, hepatic artery, and hepatic vein in patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension (PHT), to study inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in the hepatic artery wall, and to explore roles of iNOS in pathogenetic mechanisms of portal hypertensive vasculopathy. Methods: Sections of the portal v...

Isolated visceral arteriopathies of the celiac and hepatic artery are rare. We present a case of a Caucasian man who presented with abdominal pain and was found to have a spontaneous celiac artery dissection. Genetic analysis revealed a mutation consistent with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV. The patient died 2 months later from a spontaneous rupture of his hepatic artery.
