a case of the budd chiary syndrome (bcs) in a 43-yr-old man with hydatid cyst (hc) in the liver is reported from imam ali hospital, kermanshah, western iran in 2016. this case was complicated by inferior vena cava (ivc) thrombosis, right atrial clot and pulmonary emboli. compression of ivc was the likely mechanism. abdominal ultrasonography revealed a huge hc located in segments near ivc and ca...

Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) has a high prevalence in Portugal, and the most common form of hereditary amyloidosis is caused by an amyloidogenic variant of transthyretin (TTR) with a substitution of methionine for valine at position 30 (V30M). Until now, the available efficient therapy is liver transplantation, when performed in an early phase of the onset of the disease symptoms. ...

We presume this case to highlight the importance of underestimated percutaneous angioplasty with stent in isolated subclavian artery thrombosis.

Anatomical arterial vascular supply to the liver is varied [1]. Establishing the exact variant of this blood supply is important before pancreatic surgery. Identifying the exact vascular anatomy may help in decision-making during surgery. In 1955, Michels [2] published a study on hepatic arterial anatomy which was based on 200 autopsies. The classification was revised in 1966 by Michels and the...

isolated bilateral internal iliac artery (iia) aneurysm is a rare and potentially lethal disease. endovascular repair of this disorder is a matter of debate. a symptomatic 68-year-old male presented with severe pelvic pains. computed tomography revealed a leaking 46-mm aneurysm in the right iia, a 27-mm aneurysm in the left iia, and ectatic changes at a diameter of 31 mm in the right common ili...

Introduction: Spontaneous isolated visceral artery dissection is an uncommon event with unpredictable natural history and may lead to aneurysmal formation, rupture or arterial occlusion. Pre-disposing factors are not specific. With the development of new imaging modalities, can be diagnosed at early stage treated medically surgically. Case Report: We report a case previously healthy male patien...

CONTEXT Pseudoaneurysm of the hepatic artery after a pancreaticoduodenectomy is a serious complication, which should always be considered in the differential diagnosis when late bleeding has occurred. CASE REPORT We report a case of pseudoaneurysmal rupture of the common hepatic artery into the biliodigestive anastomosis. A 55 year old female patient with a history of pancreatic head cancer u...

Dyspepsia with mild, stabbing epigastric discomfort without history of trauma is a very common symptom that emergency physicians see in their daily practice. Vascular emergencies, mostly the aortic dissection and aneurysm, are always described in the differential diagnosis with persistent symptoms. Isolated celiac artery dissection occurring spontaneously is a very rare diagnosis. The involveme...

The abdominal aorta and its major branches supply oxygenated blood to nearly all the organs in the abdominal cavity. During routine dissection (January 2009) of a middle aged male cadaver at Dr. PSIMS, Gannavaram, Krishna Dist. (INDIA), the following variations of branches of abdominal aorta were found. The coeliac trunk gave off three branches. The first branch was left inferior phrenic artery...
