The patient, a male student, 17‐year‐old, was admitted to our emergency room with persistent retrosternal pain accompanied by sweat 2 h. The patient had no history of hypertension or diabetes, and he neither drank alcohol nor smoked. There was no family history of coronary heart disease. On his physical examination, blood pressure of left arm was 140/70 mmHg and 100/70 mmHg for the right. Vascu...

A liver was harvested for transplantation from a 35 year old patient who was brain dead following a road traffic accident. During the procedure it was noted that there was a replaced right hepatic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). The left hepatic artery was arising from the common hepatic artery. The graft was harvested preserving the celiac axis and the origin of the S...

Isolated spontaneous dissection of the celiac trunk is rarely diagnosed in acute abdominal pain. We present two cases of celiac trunk and splenic artery dissection with splenic infarction. Patients were successfully managed and stabilized by medical treatment. Isolated celiac trunk dissection can be fatal, therefore providers should be careful not to overlook this entity.

Cross sectional echocardiography can identify anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk. It has been suggested that identification of the left coronary artery arising from the aorta using this technique excludes the diagnosis. In three such infants the anomalous origin of the left coronary artery was identified in each by cross sectional echocardiography. In all thre...

Context It has been reported that some locally advanced pancreatic body and tail cancers can be radically resected by distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection. However, the removal of the celiac axis can result in fatal complications due to hepatic ischemia. Case report A Seventy-two-year-old man with pancreatic body cancer was selected to undergo distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis ...

PurposeTo evaluate whether abdominal atherosclerosis was associated with poorer outcome in a single-centre cohort of patients suffering from nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI).MethodsFrom January 2009 to December 2019, 121 consecutive the critical care unit who underwent laparotomy for suspected NOMI and available unenhanced contrast-enhanced CT were included. Clinical biological data at t...

Introduction: Spontaneous isolated visceral artery dissection is an uncommon event with unpredictable natural history and may lead to aneurysmal formation, rupture or arterial occlusion. Pre-disposing factors are not specific. With the development of new imaging modalities, can be diagnosed at early stage treated medically surgically. Case Report: We report a case previously healthy male patien...

Thrombosis of the celiac artery trunk is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. Thrombosis of the celiac artery carries a high mortality and morbidity when the diagnoses and treatment are delayed. It is frequently associated with other cardiovascular events. The most common etiology is atherosclerosis. 20-30% of cases may have symptoms of chronic mesenteric ischemia. Main goal of the treatment i...

BACKGROUND Elective thoracic endovascular aortic repair in selected patients with suitable aortic anatomy is associated with low morbidity and mortality, and is gaining widespread acceptance. Its benefit in acute thoracic aorta diseases, however, has not yet been demonstrated in high-numbered studies. This report presents data of the Talent Thoracic Retrospective Registry (TTR) of all patients ...

Peptidergic mechanisms influencing the resistance of the gastrointestinal vascular bed of the estuarine crocodile, Crocodylus porosus, were investigated. The gut was perfused in situ via the mesenteric and the celiac arteries, and the effects of different neuropeptides were tested using bolus injections. Effects on vascular resistance were recorded as changes in inflow pressures. Peptides found...
