A 32 year old man underwent renal transplantation for the third time. This procedure was performed in December 1994, using the kidney of a living unrelated donor. The first transplanted kidney remained in the body after rejection but the second one was removed due to trauma. End-to-end anastomosis of the renal artery to the inferior mesenteric artery was performed and the ureter was reimpl...

internal iliac artery (iia) shows frequent variations in its branching pattern. we saw variations in the branching pattern of right iia in a male cadaver. the iia divided into anterior and posterior divisions. the branches of the anterior division included umbilical artery, inferior vesical artery, obturator artery. the other branches arose from posterior trunk such as iliolumbar, lateral sacra...

  Anatomical vascular variations are rare causes of carpal tunnel syndrome. An aberrant medial artery is the most common vascular variation, while an aberrant radial artery causing carpal tunnel syndrome is even more rare, with an incidence ranging less than 3%. This article reports a patient with compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel by an aberrant superficial branch of the radi...

introduction: vertebral arteries arise from the root of the neck as the first branches from the superior-posterior aspect of the subclavian arteries. they ascend the neck to enter the cranial cavity and supply blood to the brain. methods: a total of 20 cadavers (in 10 years) were dissected for the study of variations in the origin of the vertebral artery. this study was conducted in isfahan uni...

introduction aortic surgery has made much progress recently. yet the combination of aortic surgery and coronary artery bypass grafting has remained a major issue for the surgeons. patient and observation herein, we present a case of severe aortic insufficiency with aortic aneurysm concomitant with single coronary artery disease on the right coronary artery. the patient underwent bentall procedu...

dissection of the vertebral artery is an important but rare cause of cerebrovascular accidents. here we report a 48-year-old man with toothache since 4 days before who presented to the emergency department with neck pain and final diagnosis of dissecting right vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm. to our knowledge, this maybe the first report of odontogenic pain as the first manifestation of vertebr...

cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of human morbidity and mortality despite significant therapeutic improvements by surgical or pharmacological approaches in the last decade. micrornas (mirnas) have a significant role in diseases development or response to treatment. in this review, we summarized the role of mirnas in the pathogenesis or the treatment of coronary artery disease ...

Background and Objective: Numerical modeling of biological structures would be very helpful tool to analyze hundreds of human body phenomena and also diseases diagnosis. One physiologic phenomenon is blood circulatory system and heart hemodynamic performance that can be simulated by utilizing lumped method. In this study, we can predict hemodynamic behavior of one artery of circulatory system (...

conclusions in our patients, the ra grafts had an acceptable patency rate in 2 to 5 years’ follow-up. although the sv grafts had a relatively higher patency rate than ra grafts in our asymptomatic patients, the patency rates in ra and sv grafts were close to each other. the ra graft function was poor in the patients with a higher number of risk factors and in the females. background patency of ...
