Acute ligation of the common colic and caudal mesenteric artery in the dog led to ischaemic colitis, whereas the acute ligation of the common colic artery and gradual occlusion of the caudal mesenteric artery by an ameroid plastic device did not lead to ischaemic disease. These findings suggest that the collateral blood vessels do not open up rapidly enough to prevent ischaemic change when the ...

Previous studies have demonstrated that the pig collecting system heals after partial nephrectomy without closure. Recently, a study in sheep showed that partial nephrectomy without closure of the collecting system resulted in urinary leakage and urinoma. The aim of this study was to present detailed anatomical findings on the intrarenal anatomy of the sheep. Forty two kidneys were used to prod...

This study was aimed at determining the arterial supply and gross vascular architecture of the urinary bladder in the male cat. For this purpose, the urinary bladders of 10 cats were evaluated. Organ vascularization was investigated using the latex injection technique. The feline urinary bladder was found to be supplied by the prostatic artery, which stemmed from the internal pudendal artery an...

Introduction Several investigators reported variations in the arterial pattern of upper limb [1–2]. Most of these variations hypothesized by the failure of regression of some paths of embryonic arterial trunks [2]. The presence of superficial brachial artery (SBA) and the usual pattern of its branching in the upper arm or forearm have also been reported with prevalence rate varying from 0.2–25%...

BACKGROUND The radial artery is used for the access of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention, as well as for coronary artery bypass surgery. Variations of upper limb arteries are common, however, congenital absence of radial artery is scarce, and most cases were unilateral radial artery absence. CASE PRESENTATION During a coronary angiography of a 43-year-old man, we enc...

ABST RACT This study was aimed at determining the vascular structure of the brain base arteries in the sparrowhawk. For this purpose, ten hawks were used. Latex injection method was applied to the materials. After careful dissection, the brain base arteries were investigated. The right and left internal carotid arteries were present in all of the samples. The cerebral carotid arteries were loca...

PURPOSE Functional reconstruction of mutilating hand injuries poses a challenge to the surgeon. We present our experience with use of multiple composite tissue flaps transplant for functional reconstruction of hand in patients with mutilating hand injuries. The associated merits and demerits of these surgical approaches are briefly discussed. METHODS From August 2004 to October 2014, function...

Variations in the arterial system of the upper limb have been well documented. A thorough knowledge on variations of arteries of upper extremity is necessary during performance of vascular and reconstructive surgeries and also, during evaluation of angiographic images. A case of accessory superficial ulnar artery was reported. The ulnar artery had a high origin from the brachial artery, in the ...
