PURPOSE The beneficial effect of exercise in the retardation of the progression of cardiovascular disease is hypothesized to be caused, at least in part, by the elimination of adverse hemodynamic conditions, including flow recirculation and low wall shear stress. In vitro and in vivo investigations have provided qualitative and limited quantitative information on flow patterns in the abdominal ...

estimating fetal weight in utero, for better management of pregnancy and appropriate timing of delivery especially in high-risk pregnancies is necessary. our purpose to evaluate a simple method in estimating fetal weight in iranian pregnant patients and also to compare was with a previous western study. this study was carried out in arash hospital, tehran university of medical sciences in 1996-...

Background: The small diameter of the carotid balloon-injury (BI) model impedes the evaluation of available endovascular devices. We developed an endovascular BI model in the rat’s descending aorta that is compatible with available endovascular instruments. This study also tested the hypothesis that neointimal formation is enhanced in the aorta of obese Zucker (OZ) rats. Methods: Left external ...

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1), also known as von Recklinghausen's disease, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. NF-I vasculopathy has been used to describe various vascular malformations associated with NF-1. Secondary hypertension related to NF-1 vasculopathy has been reported because of renal artery stenosis, coarctation of the abdominal aorta and other vascular lesions; however, coar...

Knowledge of the variations of the renal artery has grown in importance with increasing of renal transplants, vascular reconstructions and various surgical and radiologic techniques performing in recent years. We report the presence of unilateral doubled renal vessels, discovered on routine dissection of a male cadaver, on the right side; additional renal artery originated from the abdominal ao...

introduction: renal length measurement is an important diagnostic clue in several urinary tract abnormalities. although ultra sonography is the most frequent used modality for renal size estimation, renal diameter assessment by 99mtc-dmsa scintigraphy is of great value. by now, pointing to the renal size in the 99mtc-dmsa scintigraphy report has not been recommended by guidelines. if the validi...

Anomalies of the abdominal aorta are rare in the pediatric population limiting the reported knowledge base from which management decisions can be made. A 3-week-old male with congenital abdominal aortic coarctation and multiple aneurysms presented with malignant hypertension. We report the safe deployment of overlapping Palmaz stents using a 4-French catheter delivery system with significant re...

The report of the occurrence of additional renal arteries in domestic animals is rare in the literature. We report a case of an additional renal artery in the left kidney found in a Red Sokoto goat cadaver. The additional renal artery originated from the abdominal aorta 3.80 cm cranial to the origin of the main renal artery. The additional renal artery was relatively long, being 6.30 cm from it...

Coeliac trunk and Superior Mesenteric arteries are very much susceptible to variations were described by Tandler in 1904. Abdominal aorta branches classified as single double or visceral parietal. Double middle suprarenal, renal testicular coeliac trunk, superior mesenteric inferior arteries. Materials Methods: After obtaining ethical committee approval, we observed the origin, course branching...


 La presencia de fístulas como complicaciones aneurismas aorta abdominal (AAA) es una condición conocida, aunque poco frecuente. Se ha reportado en la literatura incidencia para aortocavas (FAC) del 1 % o, incluso, se encuentran valores inferiores algunas series casos. El objetivo este estudio realizar revisión basada un caso clínico dar a conocer el abordaje diagnóstico y los hallazgos p...
