A liver was harvested for transplantation from a 35 year old patient who was brain dead following a road traffic accident. During the procedure it was noted that there was a replaced right hepatic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). The left hepatic artery was arising from the common hepatic artery. The graft was harvested preserving the celiac axis and the origin of the S...

Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a common complication of high-dose chemotherapy associated with bone marrow transplantation. While the pathogenesis of VOD is uncertain, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has emerged as a diagnostic marker and predictor of VOD in humans. In this study, we investigated the role of PAI-1 in a murine model of VOD produced by long-term nitric oxide sy...

BACKGROUND To investigate the usefulness of popliteal artery spectral doppler findings as a complimentary approach to isolated calf vein thrombosis (DVT). MATERIAL/METHODS We included consecutive patients presenting with symptomatic and sonographically proven acute isolated calf DVT. Patients with thrombosis of any other vein were excluded.

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...

hepatic artery aneurysms are rare but potentially life threatening. we describe a novel case of a successful endovascular coil embolization of a huge hepatic artery aneurysm. a 67-year-old woman presented with recent abdominal pain that had begun from 2 weeks before referring to our hospital. sonographic and computerized tomographic (ct) findings revealed a huge hepatic artery aneurysm with 95 ...

Carotid artery thrombosis and concomitant brain infarction after blunt trauma are rare conditions. We report a 34-year-old woman with multiple traumas due to pedestrian car accident. At the time of initial visiting, she was somnolent and her Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score was 14. Initial vital signs (V/S) and brain computed tomography (CT) scan were normal. One day after admission to the emerge...
