Eleven patients with dextro-transposition of the great vessels (TGV) and subpulmonic (left ventriclar outflow) obstruction documented by cardiac catheterization and angiography were studied by echocardiography. Echocardiographic features were which characterized the outflow obstruction included a) prolonged diastolic apposition of the mitral valve with the ventricular septum (10 patients), b) s...

A distinctive angiographic appearance is described in two patients who had uncorrected levotransposition of the great vessels. Although levotransposition with inversion of the ventricles usually results in physiologically corrected transposition, in these patients the anatomy was arranged in such a way as to result in an uncorrected transposition. The following elements were responsible for thi...

Introduction The celiac trunk is the artery of the foregut and normally arises from the abdominal aorta at the level of T12 vertebra. It is about 1-2 cm long and divides into common hepatic; left gastric and splenic arteries. The right and left inferior phrenic arteries normally are lateral branches of abdominal aorta immediately below the aortic hiatus in the diaphragm [1]. There are many vari...

Occlusion of All Four Extracranial Vessels With Minimal Clinical Symptomatology. Case Report • A case of a 55-year-old man with occlusion of both vertebral, left common carotid and right internal carotid arteries is described. Also present was 95 per cent stenosis on the origin of the right external carotid artery with severe atherosclerotic disease on both subclavian and innominate arteries. C...

A longitudinal study was made of 62 patients with dextro-transposition of the great arteries. The patients were managed with balloon atrial septostomy (BAS), palliative surgery if any operation was needed in the first year of life, and Mustard intra-atrial baffle repair after one year of age. Of the 47 patients with intact ventricular septum (IVS) treated in this manner, 41 (87 percent) were li...

Thrombosis is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS). Though venous thromboses are common in NS, arterial thromboses are relatively rare. Commonly involved arteries include coronary, iliac, femoral, renal, cerebral, pulmonary, mesenteric, and axillary arteries, and the aorta. Arterial thromboses are associated with poor prognosis; treatment options ...
