We present two cases of segmental arterial mediolysis, which can present with dissecting aneurysms or thrombosis of the visceral branches of the abdominal aorta. Segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) causes ischemic bowel disease and has characteristic CT and angiographic features.

objective: gestational diabetes mellitus occurs during pregnancy is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. carotid intima media thickness (cimt) is a surrogate maker of subclinical atherosclerosis. the aim of this study is assessment of relationship between cimt and infra-renal abdominal aorta diameter in women with and without gestational diabetes mellitus. materials and methods: the c...

Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus occurs during pregnancy is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) is a surrogate maker of subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of this study is assessment of relationship between CIMT and infra-renal abdominal aorta diameter in women with and without Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. Materials and Methods: Th...

introduction: the persian squirrel (sciurus anomalus) is considered the only well-known species of the family sciuridae in the middle east. since some people keep this squirrel as a domestic pet, their attendance at veterinary clinics is increasing. so far, no study has been conducted on the arterial supply of the pelvic cavity and limb in the squirrel. hence, this research was performed to fil...

Introduction A single renal artery to each kidney is present in approximately 70% of individuals. Renal arteries take origin from the aorta bilaterally just below the superior mesenteric artery. The arteries vary in their level of origin and obliquity. Near the renal hilum each artery divides into an anterior and a posterior division which divide into segmental arteries supplying the renal vasc...

Takayasu's arteritis is an inflammatory arteriopathy which involves the aorta and its major branches, causing mainly stenosis of their lumen, though aneurysmal lesions can also occur. A young female with Takayasu's disease presented to our hospital with acute lung oedema due to severe aortic insufficiency and ascending aorta dilatation. She had already undergone distal ascending aorta and hemia...

introduction: we did this study because there were a few studies about aorto-branch junction. methods: four light microscope and electron microscope study, the abdominal aorta, renal artery, and the adjoining right and left renal arteries were dissected out from 4 neonate dogs. results: based on the results, there is only one cell type in the tunica intima of endothelium in both arteries. in ab...

Takayasu's arteritis (TA), of which the first case was described by Takayasu in 1905 (1), is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that primarily involves the aorta, its major branches, and the pulmonary and coronary arteries. Synonymssuch as aortic arch syndrome, pulseless disease and aortitis syndrome reflect this anatomic localization. TAappears to be most commonin East Asia inc...

BACKGROUND Vascular variations regarding the branching pattern of the aorta are important in different laparoscopic surgeries, liver and kidney transplantation, oncologic resections, and various interventional radiological procedures in the abdominal region. The present work was undertaken on cadavers to examine the prevalence of vascular patterns of the important branches of the abdominal aort...
