The incidence of vascular injury remains a problematic complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, due to the anatomic variations of the cystic artery. Therefore, the focus of this study was to investigate the origin, course, and termination of the cystic artery using dual source computed tomography. Currently, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has emerged as a golden standard in the treatmen...

BACKGROUND In hepatosplenic schistosomiasis occurs diffuse hepatic fibrosis associated with venous congestion of the portal system resulting in hepatosplenomegaly. It can produce digestive hemorrhage caused by rupture of esophageal and stomach varices or peptic gastroduodenal mucosal lesions. AIM To study the effects of splenectomy and ligature of the left gastric vein on portohepatic hemodyn...

A less common type of celiacomesenteric arterial trunk was noticed during a routine cadaver dissection in a 30-year-old male cadaver. The left gastric artery gave an additional accessory left hepatic branch to the liver, while the common hepatic branch gave rise to right and left hepatic arteries. Additionally, the superior mesenteric artery gave an accessory right hepatic branch, to the liver....

During abdominal surgery, the blood supply to liver and other organs plays a vital role. The knowledge regarding hepatic artery variations is crucial for various surgical radiological procedures concerning dutiful be reported. We aim report case of variant origin right contribute existing pool improve safety. present describes vascularization encountered on 3D volume-rendered CT imaging 60-year...

A case of recurrent acute pancreatitis due to haemobilia secondary to a bleeding hepatic artery aneurysm is presented. Embolization of the hepatic artery resulted in cessation of bleeding and resolution of pancreatitis.

The oxygen limitation theory states that capillarization of the sinusoidal endothelium in cirrhosis impairs hepatocellular oxygen uptake manifesting as a reduction in oxygen-dependent enzyme activity including phase 1 drug metabolism. The hepatic artery supplies highly oxygenated blood to the liver. Therefore, we tested whether augmentation of hepatic arterial blood flow could improve hepatic o...

The pine marten (Martes martes) is a medium sized carnivore rarely found in Iran. The aim of this study was to describe species-specific characteristics of the celiac artery in pine marten. In pine marten examined in this study, it was observed that the celiac artery originated from the ventral aspect of abdominal aorta. The celiac artery was divided into two branches. A thick branch was the co...
