Mobile no.:+919477458100 E-Mail: [email protected] The functional importance of hand is revealed by its rich vascularity contributed by superficial and deep palmar arches (SPA and DPA).Superficial palmar arch is located superficial to flexor tendons, and deep...

We report a case of acute arterial ischemia and deep venous thrombosis due to compression of the external iliac vein and artery by the reservoir of a three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis.

A 65-year-old male with four-channel aortic dissection successfully underwent replacement of the thoracoabdominal aorta, reconstruction of the celiac, superior mesenteric artery, renal arteries, and 5 pairs of intercostals or lumbar arteries using deep hypothermic technique.

We describe a patient who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery performed with an aortic connector. The patient developed a malignant deep sternal wound infection that subsequently led to an aortic pseudoaneurysm at the site of proximal anastomosis.

We present a case of deep position myocardial bridging in a patient who had early graft occlusion after coronary artery bypass grafting and had stent deformation and in-stent restonesis after succedent stenting.

Frank's sign, also known as diagonal earlobe crease (DELC), was observed to be an aural sign of coronary artery disease (CAD). Since then, there has been much interest in examining this unique and controversial association. This report describes a patient who has bilateral complete and deep diagonal ear lobe creases, presented with angina and diagnosed to have coronary artery disease on angiogr...

The buccal mucosa lines the inner aspect of the cheek and the lip. It is limited superiorly and inferiorly by its attachments to the alveoli. It extends posteriorly to the retromolar trigone. Deep to the buccal mucosa is the buccinator muscle (Figures 2, 3). Immediately lateral to the buccinator muscle is the facial artery and the buccal artery and the vascular plexus that the buccinator myomuc...

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) is one of the most critical disorders of acute deep vein thrombosis in that it can cause permanent disability secondary to the compartment syndrome. Although several etiological factors have been proposed, PCD after coronary artery bypass surgery is extremely rare and its definitive pathophysiology is still under debate. We herein present a case of PCD that resul...

Autologous breast reconstruction utilizing a perforator flap is an increasingly popular method for reducing donor site morbidity and implant-related complications. However, aberrant anatomy not readily visible on computed tomography angiography is a rare albeit real risk when undergoing perforator flap reconstruction. We present an operative case of a patient who successfully underwent a bilate...

Vascular variations of the penis are very rare. Awareness of its variations is of utmost importance to the urologists and radiologist dealing with the reconstruction or transplants of penis, erectile dysfunctions, and priapism. We report an extremely rare variation of the artery of the penis and discuss its clinical importance. The artery of the penis arose from a common arterial trunk from the...
