INTRODUCTION The descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery is an option for coronary artery bypass grafting. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the early patency and adaptation of lumen diameter using multidetector computed angiotomography. METHODS Thirty-two patients were selected to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting using the descending branch of the lateral circumflex artery, t...

objective: to determine the risk factors, clinical characteristics, surgical management and outcome of pseudoaneurysm secondary to iatrogenic or traumatic vascular injury. m et h o d s : this was a cross-sectional study being performed in department of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery skims soura during a 4-year period. we included all the patients referring to our center with primary diagno...

It was observed by us in the dissection hall that arteria profunda femoris, the largest and most important branch of the femoral artery, presents a good deal of variations regarding its origin and distribution in various individuals, and this led us to the detailed study of this artery in one hundred thighs in the Anatomy Department of the Medical College, Amritsar. The usually described course...

We report a case of acute embolic ischemia of the right lower limb in a patient with unexpected intraoperative anatomic variant of femoral artery. In this anomaly, the deep femoral artery arises from the external iliac artery, 2 cm above the inguinal ligament, runs with a parallel course with the superficial femoral artery, and placed between the branches of femoral nerve. In consideration of t...

We quantitatively analyzed blood flow through the major arteries supplying the pig’s femoral head during various hip positions and following ligation of various vessels in order to identify the vascular abnormalities which may be responsible for the development of avascular necrosis during the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip. Our findings reveal that a decrease in total blood fl...

During the routine gross anatomical dissection of the right inguinal region of a 45-year-old male cadaver, a variation was observed both in the inferior epigastric artery and the inferior epigastric vein. In this case, the right inferior epigastric artery originated from the femoral artery 13 mm inferior to the inguinal ligament. Additionally, in this cadaver, the single right inferior epi...

The goal of this study was to determine the effects of microgravity on myofilament protein expression and both passive and active length-force relationships in carotid and femoral arteries. Microgravity was simulated by 20-day hindlimb unweighting (HU) in Wistar male rats, and carotid and femoral artery segments were isolated from both HU and control (CTL) rats for Western blot and length-force...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this meta-analysis was to determine the utility of real-time two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound guidance for femoral artery catheterization. BACKGROUND Despite the shift toward establishing vascular access via the radial artery rather than the femoral artery, femoral artery cannulation is still frequent in cardiac catheterization. Since vascular complications related to fe...
