Objective- This survey was accomplished to describe the hepatic artery and portal vein indices in healthy domestic cats by color Doppler ultrasonography technique. Design- Retrospective experimental study. Animals- Twenty domestic short hair (DSH) cats (10 males and 10 females). Procedures- Doppler indices of ...

hepatic artery aneurysms are a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and may represent significant problems in both diagnosis and management. we report a 70 year old patient with gastrointestinal bleeding from a fistula between a 7 cm hepatic artery aneurysm and the duodenum. he underwent successful surgical management with endoaneurysmorrhaphy and duodenal wall repair.

INTRODUCTION We describe successful two-step hepatic artery reconstruction in a patient whose graft site hepatic artery was too short for the use of a microclamp in living donor liver transplantation. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed as having hepatitis C and liver cirrhosis. Her 26-year-old son was the living liver donor. The living donor underwent right lobectomy. The ...

Introduction The common hepatic artery is normally a branch of coeliac trunk. It runs forwards and to the right and divides into a hepatic artery proper and a gastroduodenal artery. The hepatic artery proper terminates by dividing into right and left hepatic arteries and the gastroduodenal artery terminates by dividing into superior pancreaticoduodenal artery and right gastroepiploic artery. Th...

Living donor liver transplantation has been associated with severe vascular complications like hepatic artery thrombosis, which commonly involves the hepatic segment 4. Most authors have defined the artery to this segment as the middle hepatic artery. The present study was undertaken to characterize the origin of middle hepatic artery and classify the variations observed in cadaveric livers, an...

The volume flow rate of blood in the portal vein and the hepatic artery was measured using a duplex ultrasound system. Two sections of the hepatic artery were studied; the common hepatic artery where measurements were made just after the bifurcation of the coeliac axis to splenic and hepatic arteries and the hepatic artery itself, where measurements were made just proximal to the porta hepatis ...

INTRODUCTION The anatomical variants of the hepatic artery may have important implications for pancreatic cancer surgery. The aim of our study is to compare the outcome following a pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with or without a variant hepatic artery arising from superior mesenteric artery. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed 151 patients with periampullary tumoral pathology. All patie...

INTRODUCTION Conversion of multiple hepatic arteries into a single vascular supply is a very important technique for repeat hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy using an implanted port catheter system. Catheterization of a replaced left hepatic artery arising from a left gastric artery using a percutaneous catheter technique is sometimes difficult, despite the recent development of advanced i...
