Proximal humerus fractures are common, but associated injury of the axillary artery is uncommon. The majority of published blunt traumatic axillary artery injuries are associated with anterior glenohumeral dislocation; a few are associated with isolated proximal humerus fractures or fracture-dislocation. Experience within our institution demonstrates that axillary artery injury is often unreco...

DOI: 10.1590/S1679-45082017AI3981 A 45-year-old male patient, hospitalized and under investigation of mediastinal mass, presenting with sudoresis, malaise, and dysphagia. Computed tomography showed eccentric parietal thickening of the middle third of esophagus, with mass effect and upstream ectasia, with no expressive increase of metabolic activity. Additionally, there are cervical, axillary, p...

the osteology of the hyoid and branchial arches in several representatives of eurypterygian fishes were examined. the hyoid arches consist of a single basihyal and urohyal, and the arch on each side consists of a dorsal and a ventral hypohyal, an anterior and posterior ceratohyal, an interhyal, and branchiostegal rays that are borne on the ceratohyals. the branchial arches consist of three sing...

OBJECTIVE The incidence of embolic events and of cerebral malperfusion in aortic dissection type A (AADA) must be viewed in the context of the existence of a number of possible cannulation techniques. Since femoral cannulation is thought to be associated with a higher risk of perfusion of the false lumen and retrograde embolization, techniques establishing antegrade flow may provide a better op...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2013-010304 DESCRIPTION A 35-year-old man previously asymptomatic, nonsmoker presented with a history of acute onset severe ischaemic pain, paraesthesia and pulselessness involving the left upper limb from the axillary artery distally since 3 days, not preceded by fever ...

Optimal perfusion strategies for extensive aortic resection in patients with mega-aortic syndromes include: tailored myocardial preservation, antegrade cerebral perfusion, controlled hypothermia and selective organ perfusion. Typically, the aortic arch resection and elephant trunk procedure are performed under hypothermic circulatory arrest with myocardial and cerebral protection. However, mese...

Methods Between June 2005 and December 2012, 22 patients (16 men and 7 women), aged 28 to 76 years(mean 56.7 ± 13.8), underwent total aortic arch replacement using antegrade selective cerebral perfusion through median sternotomy. Present pathologies were Stanford type A dissection (acute state in 19, chronic state in 3 patients), previous Bentall’s procedure in 3 and previous descending thoraci...
