Variations in the arterial pattern of the upper limb are very common as observed in many cadaveric and angiographic studies. Knowledge of variations in the origin and course of the radial artery is important because they are used for many diagnostic procedures as well as vascular and reconstructive surgeries like coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypas...

BACKGROUND Studies have shown that the venous system tends to collapse during hypovolemic shock. The use of the bone marrow space for infusions is an effective alternative, with the tibial insertion site being the norm. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to determine a quick intraosseous infusion method that could be an alternative to the tibial route in neonates during emergency situations....

To assess the safety of direct infarct angioplasty without antecedent thrombolytic therapy, catheterization laboratory and hospital events were assessed in consecutively treated patients with infarctions involving the left anterior descending (n = 100 patients), right (n = 100), and circumflex (n = 50) coronary arteries. The groups of patients were similar for age (left anterior descending coro...

Introduction Posteriorly dislocated humeral head fracture has a great implication, as it is associated with high risk of avascular necrosis, limited access through the deltopectoral approach, and posterior approach to the posteriorly dislocated humeral fracture increases the risk to the remaining blood supply. Technical Tip Posteriorly dislocated humeral fracture is approached through deltope...

Stent thrombosis and lead perforation are important differentials for patients presenting with chest pain following recent coronary stent insertion pacemaker insertion. In this report, we describe an unusual case of a 78-year-old male who presented sharp one week after admission posterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) subsequent Mobitz type II block, which he received primary percu...

Although classic valve-sparing root repair yields excellent results (survival at 10 years of 93.5%, freedom from structural valve deterioration at 10 years of 96.1% [1]), I agree with Siepe and colleagues [2] that extensive skeletonization of the aortic root might jeopardize an abnormal circumflex artery arising from the right coronary sinus and crossing the dorsal aspect of the annulus. I also...

Introduction: The Persian squirrel (Sciurus anomalus) is considered the only well-known species of the family Sciuridae in the Middle East. Since some people keep this squirrel as a domestic pet, their attendance at veterinary clinics is increasing. So far, no study has been conducted on the arterial supply of the pelvic cavity and limb in the squirrel. Hence, this research was performed to fil...
