The risk of venous thrombosis is well documented in patients with malignancies, those undergoing abdominal surgery, and those undergoing hepatic resection for malignancy. This study was undertaken to determine whether there was a difference in the risk of thrombosis between those undergoing resection for hepatic metastases and primary hepatic malignancies. We performed a retrospective chart rev...

Background: A novel distal subtotal gastrectomy was performed in 5 patients with macroscopically node-positive gastric cancer located in the greater curvature of the middle stomach. In these patients, total gastrectomy or standard distal subtotal gastrectomy has been typically performed. In these typical gastrectomies, the hepatic and the coeliac branches of the vagi are removed en bloc with th...

Purpose. To describe the treatment of renal artery thrombosis with ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis and discuss the management of prolonged renal ischemia. Case. A 76-year-old patient with a single functional kidney, mild chronic renal impairment, and a recent history of endovascular repair of a thoracoabdominal aneurysm with an aortic branch graft presented with acute flank pain, anuria, an...

budd-chiari syndrome (bcs) refers to thrombosis of hepatic veins as well as intrahepatic or suprahepatic inferior vena cava. we present for the first time a case of possible occurrence of budd- chiari syndrome with the history of depot medroxy progesterone acetate (dmpa) injections in a 33-yearold iranian woman. an underlying disorder can be identified in most of patients with bcs. many of thes...

The coeliac trunk and superior mesenteric artery are the anterior visceral branches of the abdominal aorta. The anatomical variations of these arteries are due to development of the anterior splanchnic arteries. A case of coeliacomesenteric trunk was reported in this study which was observed in a 72-year-old male cadaver during the routine dissection. This trunk with a diameter of 13.98 mm is o...

the goal of this study was to define the normal range of diameter in the deep vein of the lower limb and to compare this range with diameter of the veins with acute thrombosis and of veins with chronic thrombosis by using color doppler sonography. the study was cross sectional. the vein diameter and vein to artery ratio in different levels were measured and the following results were obtained. ...

Epigastric pain is a common complaint made by patients being evaluated in the emergency department. Spontaneous isolated visceral artery dissection is a rare cause with no reported prevalence. We present a case of a 37-year-old male evaluated in the emergency department for epigastric pain and subsequently diagnosed with a spontaneous isolated celiac artery dissection with involvement of the he...

BACKGROUND Hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) is a serious complication after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and remains a significant cause of graft loss. HAT following OLT has been reported in 3% to 9% of patients. Among the surgical factors considered to be associated with HAT, arterial reconstruction might be the most important. The goal of this study was to compare the incidence of HA...

Obstructive jaundice by vascular compression is extremely rare. Luttwak and Schwartz first described jaundice due to an obstruction of the common hepatic duct by an aberrant artery.1 Compression of extrahepatic bile duct (EBD) by right hepatic artery was defined as right hepatic artery syndrome. We present here a rare case of asymptomatic biliary obstruction due to compression of the common bil...
