Introduction: Knowledge of presence of supernumerary renal arteries with anomalous origin of gonadal arteries are important with increased use of laparoscopic renal surgeries and donor nephrectomy. Transplantation of kidney may be jeopardized with aberrant renal and gonadal arteries. Therefore this case report will help surgeons to understand the possible abnormalities which are very important ...

Background: The interaction between the blood and the vessel wall is of great clinical interest in studying cardiovascular diseases, the major causes of death in developed countries.Objective: To understand the effects of incorporating fluid-structure interaction into the simulation of blood flow through an anatomically realistic model of abdominal aorta and renal arteries reconstructed from CT...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a true aneurysm, meaning a localized dilation of the aorta caused by weakening of its wall, and involving all three layers (intima, media, and adventitia) of the arterial wall (Fig. 86-1). A false aneurysm, or pseudoaneurysm, is a collection of flowing blood that communicates with the arterial lumen but is not enclosed by the normal vessel wall; it is containe...

branches of the abdominal aorta. A single renal artery supplies each kidney in most individuals. The renal arteries typically arise just below the origin site of the superior mesenteric artery and they travel laterally behind the renal veins (1, 2). Among the various types of renal artery anomalies, the most clinically important variation is the accessory renal artery. Accessory renal arteries ...

A 46-year-old female patient presented with uncontrolled hypertension to investigate a possible secondary underlying cause. Her hypertension was incidentally diagnosed when she was being evaluated preoperatively for uterine fibroma. She had no family history of hypertension. Her initial blood pressure was 190/110 mmHg from both arms. No abdominal bruit was audible over the trajectory of renal a...

We report three patients with a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (DTAA) and a separate infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who had initial endovascular repair of the DTAA followed by repair of AAA. Endovascular stent repair of DTAA avoids the significant morbidity associated with thoracotomy and open repair. Hence more patients with multilevel aortic aneurysm may be eligible for surg...

Abstract We report a case of 4-year-old boy who presented with moyamoya disease associated midaortic syndrome. He had been treated for severe persistent hypertension until he suffered multiple episodes seizure and cerebral ischemic attack. Cerebral angiography showed bilateral terminal internal carotid artery stenosis. Angiographic survey stenosis abdominal aorta proximal renal arteries. This i...

BACKGROUND To investigate the effect of intra-abdominal volume increment (IAVI) on intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) in the kidneys. METHODS Eight minipigs were successfully established as IAH models and were randomly divided into two groups: the IAVI group and the sham-operated group. The intravesicular pressure, inferior vena cava pressure and urine volume were measured before shock, 2 h a...

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...

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...
