Thrombosis of the celiac artery trunk is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. Thrombosis of the celiac artery carries a high mortality and morbidity when the diagnoses and treatment are delayed. It is frequently associated with other cardiovascular events. The most common etiology is atherosclerosis. 20-30% of cases may have symptoms of chronic mesenteric ischemia. Main goal of the treatment i...

Abstract The renal arteries arise from the lateral side of abdominal aorta at L2 vertebral level, just below origin superior mesenteric artery. Multiple aberrant can pose difficulties in transplantation, interventional radiological and urological procedures, artery embolization, angioplasty, or vascular reconstruction for congenital acquired lesions. We present a case left kidney supplied by al...

Changes in the cardiac output and blood flow in the renal, superior mesenteric and carotid arteries in anesthetized dogs were observed, using the non-cannulating electromagnetic flow meter. Dibutyryl cyclic-AMP, 5 mg/kg body weight, was given intravenously and the following results were obtained: 1) Dibutyryl cyclic-AMP increased the stroke volume and the cardiac output, and slightly increased ...
