Renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an uncommon anomaly characterized by the communication between renal arteries and veins. Renal AVFs are often asymptomatic but are occasionally accompanied by hematuria or heart failure. Transcatheter closure with embolization is a safe and effective treatment for renal AVF. We herein report an 87-year-old patient with heart failure due to renal AVF who was ...

The current management approach for critically ill patients emphasizes maintaining adequate cardiac output and mean arterial pressure. Recently, researchers have increasingly emphasized the clinical significance of venous reflux. Bedside Doppler ultrasonography offers continuous, dynamic, quantifiable assessment reflux status. In this review, we explore pertinent literature on assessing status ...

Aim of the study: In this article, we describe a rare case nutcracker syndrome caused by combined compression left anteroaortic and retroaortic renal veins. Case description: A 42-yearold woman presented with microhematuria flank pain. The patient underwent computed tomography Doppler ultrasound which showed veins courses, signs compression. Compression vein was narrowing aortomesenteric space,...

Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for chronic kidney disease and has been shown to have better outcomes than dialysis in multiple studies.1 In the standard procedure, the donor renal artery and vein are anastomosed to the external iliac vessels of the recipient. In cases of an unusable vein, such as thrombosis of the iliac vein or inferior vena cava (IVC), renal transplantation b...

The knowledge of vascular variations like other anatomical variations, is important during the operative, diagnostic, and endovascular procedures in abdomen. This report describes multiple variations in the upper abdominal vessels as found during the routine dissection in a 60-year-old male cadaver. The variations found were; presence of a celiaco-mesenterico-phrenic trunk, a common inferior ph...

Various anomalies of the inferior venacava (IVC) have been reported in the past. Amongst, the absence of IVC is one of the less frequently reported anomalies. The absence can be complete or partial, confined to the hepatic, supra-renal or infra-renal segment of IVC. It is still a controversy, whether these conditions are true embryonic anomalies or the result of perinatal IVC thrombosis. A man ...

Inferior vena caval obstruction occurs not infrequently. In 1911 Pleasants reviewed 314 published cases of which 68 per cent. were due to thrombosis, I6 per cent. to external pressure and I6 per cent. to invasion by neoplasm. Where it is due to thrombosis this is usually due to spread from veins in the legs and pelvis. In most cases the thrombosis is confined to the lower part of the inferior v...

Variations of the gonadal vein involve especial interest in general, vascular, and renal transplant surgery [1]. The testicular drainage originates at the upper pole of the testis, through the pampiniform plexus, which travels alongside the spermatic cord. The origin of the testicular vein, on both sides, lies at the deep inguinal ring, following a cephalic retroperitoneal path along the Psoas ...

This paper presents a patient successfully treated for leiomyosarcoma of the vena cava, with no recurrence or symptoms on an 8-year follow-up. A 56-year-old woman presented with chronic and progressive periumbilical and right upper abdominal pain. Physical examination and laboratory tests revealed no abnormalities. Computed tomography showed a high-density image inside the vena cava. Cavography...
