A patient with Zieve's syndrome is described. Following hepatic angiography, the patient became shocked and eventually died. The hazards of hepatic angiography are discussed and its use in ill patients questioned.

Collateral circulation plays an important role in protecting brain tissue from ischemic damage acute cerebral artery occlusion, and various imaging modalities are used to evaluate collateral circulation. Angiographic techniques, such as digital subtraction angiography multiphase computed tomography (CT) angiography, directly show Meanwhile, hyperintense vessels on f luid-attenuated inversion re...

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 ...

OBJECTIVE To study whether shortening the acquisition time for selective hepatic artery visualization is feasible without image quality deterioration by adopting two-dimensional (2D) parallel imaging (PI) and short tau inversion recovery (STIR) methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four healthy volunteers were enrolled. 3D true steady-state free-precession imaging with a time spatial labeling...

Coronary angiography and computed tomography angiography in the diagnosis of extrinsic compression of left internal mammary artery A 82-year-old man with a previous coronary artery bypass graft was admitted to our hospital for recurrent and refractory episodes of rest angina with electrocardio-graphic signs of anterior myocardial ischemia. Coronary angiography revealed a three-vessel obstructiv...

To evaluate the application value and feasibility of the updated method of trans-gastroduodenal reverse catheterization of hepatic artery in a rat model of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) via orthotopic implantation of histologically intact tissue. 120 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (30 rats/group). Groups A and B were preliminary experimental groups, in which rats were respecti...

a 40 year old male, a known case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, was admitted for catheterization. at catheterization and angiography, septum was hypertrophied to about 5cm and diffuse coronary artery aneurysm was revealed. we found no previous report of coronary artery aneurysm in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Carotid artery is the most important artery that carries the major part of the blood supply to the head and neck. The branching of the common carotid artery usually occurs at the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage. The placement of carotid sinus has also increased its importance in this area. Considering the clinical importance of knowledge about carotid artery variations, this case is reporte...

A 56 year old man was admitted to our center for further evaluation of typical chest pain of ten months' duration. Selective coronary angiography was done and showed a sewing needle-like foreign body which was lying in very close proximity to the anatomic location of the right coronary artery. At operation two pieces of sewing needles were removed, one from the coronary sinus and the other...
