pseudo-aneurysm of the femoral artery is the most common arterial complication in drug injecting abusers. scholars in vascular surgery have published debating statements regarding techniques of successful surgical management during last two decades. we present the results of simple arterial ligation in a series of 32 patients presenting with infected femoral pseudo-aneurysm. most of the patient...

background: abnormal placental invasion has increased parallel with persistent rise in caesarean delivery. management relies on accurate diagnosis and delivery should be planned at an institution with appropriate expertise and resources for managing this condition.   case: we present a case of a placenta invasion anomaly which is the major risk factors of peripartum deaths. in this case we try ...

Regarding the increasing numbers of IV drug addicts, the incidence of infected pseudoaneurysm is increasing. So far, different therapeutic strategies have been tried, but each method has its own drawbacks. Therefore, discovering an appropriate therapeutic method is necessary. 65 patients with infected pseudoaneurysm due to drug injection referred to Shohada Medical Center from Feb 1994 til...

This study aimed to investigate the impact of grafting using thin upper pole artery ligation for living-donor adult kidney transplantation. Few reports have examined the safety of thin upper pole artery ligation.Between January 2008 and May 2015, 613 consecutive living-donor adult kidney transplantations were performed. We excluded 21 recipients who experienced graft loss due to factors that we...

introduction placenta accreta is an increasingly common complication of pregnancy that can result in massive hemorrhage. case presentation we describe two cases of placenta accreta, with successful conservative management in a referral hospital in tehran, iran. in both cases, two procedures were performed: compression suture (b-lynch) and a perfusion-decreasing procedure (bilateral uterine arte...

PURPOSE To describe the technique and results of percutaneous puncture of the external carotid artery or one of its branches distal to a surgical arterial ligation. METHODS Forty-three patients underwent 64 embolization attempts by percutaneous arterial puncture distal to an external carotid artery ligation. The punctured arteries were the trunk of the external carotid artery in 31 patients, ...

A case of severe arterial epistaxis treated by transantral ligation of the maxillary artery is reported. A 66-year-old woman had recurrent left sided epistaxis from the posterior nasal cavity which was difficult to control by conventional nasal packing methods. Selective angiography was performed to identify the arterial flow patterns and site of bleeding which was confirmed to be the descendin...

Among the factors that might influence collateral arterial growth after arterial occlusion, the capacity to deliver blood flow in relation to metabolic need and work performance are obvious candidates. In this study in rats after superficial femoral artery ligation, we assessed collateral arterial growth (by arteriography), basal and peak limb blood flow during acetylcholine-induced vasodilatio...

IMPORTANCE The treatment of epistaxis is variable. It is important to analyze the effect of the available interventions on patient outcomes. OBJECTIVE To determine demographic, management, and outcome trends in patients admitted with a primary diagnosis of epistaxis and treated with conservative management, nasal packing, arterial ligation, or embolization. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS...
