Abstract Ascariasis is a common helminthic infection, particularly in the tropical countries. We describe case of eosinophilia who underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Postoperatively, he was found to have ascaris lumbricoides oral cavity. Timely detection and removal worm prevented possible complications such as airway obstruction, bronchospasm, lung collapse, or intestinal o...

a seven-year-old stallion with diversion of urinary pass to the thigh due to a urethral fistula caused by gunshot perineal injury was presented to the urmia university, veterinary teaching hospital. no signs of urinary obstruction or renal failure were observed. because of inaccessible location of the injured urethra, through a perineal urethrotomy incision, a urinary catheter was effectively a...

Flash pulmonary edema frequently develop in case of bilateral renal artery stenosis and unilateral renal artery stenosis with functional solitary kidney. In some rare cases, unilateral renal artery stenosis with bilaterally functional kidneys may also lead to flash pulmonary edema. Here, we present a case of flash pulmonary edema caused by accessory renal artery stenosis. To our knowledge, it i...

Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) usually involves the ostium and the proximal one-third of the renal artery main branch. Percutaneous renal artery angioplasty with stent placement is a well recognized treatment for atherosclerotic RAS. Occasionally, atherosclerotic RAS involves renal artery bifurcations. However, stent implantation in atherosclerotic RAS involving bifurcation is not ...

these patients,' but we found this not to be the case. Our findings accord with those of Dustan et al, who found that most patients with angiographic evidence of renal artery disease did not have hypertension.3 It could be argued that angiographic evidence of renal artery disease does not necessarily indicate a functionally important stenosis, hence the poor relation between angiographic findin...

In a 42-year-old man with severe hypertension, stenosis of the left renal artery at its origin and occlusion of the abdominal aorta below the level of the renal arteries were observed. His past history and clinical and laboratory findings suggested that the renal artery stenosis was due to Buerger's disease which was reported to be a rare cause of renovascular hypertension.

Entrapment of renal artery by the diaphragmatic crus is a rare cause of renal artery stenosis. Spiral computed tomography angiography provides a definitive diagnosis and shows the precise relationship of the artery to the diaphragmatic crus. The authors present a case of hypertension developing in a young 20-year-old female due to entrapment of the left renal artery by the diaphragmatic crus. T...

The case favoring renal artery stenting for individuals with renal artery hypertension is largely circumstantial. At best, the clinical evidence presented in this discussion is derived primarily from nonrandomized cohort studies. It would certainly be easier to argue that medical therapy is preferred for such individuals because there are 3 published randomized clinical trials that concluded ju...

Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a relatively common problem, estimated to affect between 1% and 5% of patients with hypertension.1,2 Given the high prevalence of hypertension, it follows that there are from 2 million to 4 million individuals with RAS in the United States alone. A challenging feature of the disease is the high incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in affected...

This study aimed to assess a new Doppler parameter for diagnosis of renal artery stenosis (RAS), the bilateral renal ratio (BRR). Fifty-nine patients with suspicion of RAS were evaluated. The BRR, defined as the ratio of renal artery peak systolic velocities between the affected side and healthy side, was measured, and its sensitivity and specificity were compared to those of four conventional ...
