Duodenal ulceration into the cystic artery.

چکیده
We report two cases of massive gastrointestinal bleeding due to anterior duodenal ulceration into the cystic artery, with gallbladder infarction as a complication. These cases indicate the potential dangers of laser therapy or embolization in bleeding anterior duodenal ulcers penetrating the cystic artery, as such therapy will arrest blood flow through the cystic artery and may precipitate gallbladder infarction.

Juxtapapillary duodenal diverticulum masquerading as a cystic pancreatic neoplasm
The duodenum is the secondmost common site for gastrointestinal diverticulum. Patients with duodenal diverticula are often asymptomatic. Diagnosis of this condition is often made incidentally in 14.5% of barium examinations of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Prevalence of this condition is reported to be 22% of cadavers on autopsy. The clinical presentation is typically characterized by non-s...
متن کاملHepatic artery aneurysm, hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia, and peptic ulceration.
Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasis associated with hepatic artery aneurysm has only once been recorded in the literature (Graham, Eiseman, and Pryor, 1964). This case is reported because the concurrence of these conditions, together with gastric and duodenal ulcers, serves to illustrate difficulties in the management of a patient with a bleeding diathesis who has four possible causes of gas...
متن کاملTitle Acute cholecystitis with massive upper gastrointestinal bleed: a case report and review of the literature Authors
Background: Pseudoaneurysm of the cystic artery is a rare complication following cholecystitis and its presentation as upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (UGIH) is even more rare. Thirteen such cases have been reported with only 2 of them presented with UGIH alone. Case presentation: We report a case of cystic artery pseudoaneurysm in a 43-year-old woman following an acute attack of cholecystiti...
متن کاملDuodenal intracellular bicarbonate and the 'CF paradox'.
HCO(3)(-) secretion, which is believed to neutralize acid within the mucus gel, is the most studied duodenal defense mechanism. In general, HCO(3)(-) secretion rate and mucosal injury susceptibility correlate closely. Recent studies suggest that luminal acid can lower intracellular pH (pH(i)) of duodenal epithelial cells and that HCO(3)(-) secretion is unchanged during acid stress. Furthermore,...
