while blunt trauma of the head and neck are a common pattern of injury, significant problems related to the prompt diagnosis and optimal management of traumatic artery injuries have been reported in the literature. while patients with major artery injuries might develop hemorrhagic shock very rapidly, patients with blunt cerebrovascular injuries (bcvi) can present asymptomatic, but complication...

background: there is little information about blood supply of the carpal joint in one- humped camel, while there is extensive data about cow and equine species. in order to perform surgeries and diagnostic techniques in carpal region, information about the elements of the joint such as its arteries is necessary. objectives: this study aims at describing the origins, arrangements, and branches o...

conclusions routine predilation of the sb in provisional stenting of true bifurcation lesions seems to be ineffective and might be associated with some undesirable consequences. still, there are some complex ostial lesions of the sb which could benefit from predilation. patients and methods sixty patients with true bifurcation lesions according to the medina classification were included in the ...

vertebral artery is the first branch of subclavian artery. it merges with the same artery of the opposite side to form basilar artery and becomes one of the important source of blood supply to the brain. variation in the origin of left vertebral artery was found in 65 year old female during magnetic resonance angiography of the neck vessels. it originated from aortic arch and was longer as comp...

in patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg), usually at least one of the internal mammary arteries is used. this study evaluates the degree of atherosclerotic involvement of the internal mammary artery (ima) in patients undergoing cabg. during two months period, 79 patients (66 male and 13 female with a medium age of 58 years) undergoing myocardial revascularization had a biops...

aneurysm can develop in all arteries of the human body. pseudoaneurysm induced by trauma is known as a rare condition in peripheral arteries. this complication is known as late sequelae of trauma. the incidence of pseudoaneurysm in upper extremities artery is less than lower extremities. atherosclerotic aneurysms are often seen in large arteries and by aging, but pseudoaneurysm can be seen in p...

traumatic injuries to the subclavian-axillary artery, although uncommon, are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates if not managed promptly. the emergence of endovascular techniques offers an alternative to the surgical management of these injuries. we herein present 4 cases of traumatic subclavian-axillary artery injury with limb ischemia successfully managed via the endovascular a...

vertebrobasilar insufficiency is the cause of cerebrovascular accidents in 20% of cases. there are few reports regarding spectral doppler indices (sdis) of vertebral arteries (vas) normal blood flow. the objective of this study was to provide basic reference data about sdis of vas normal blood flow separately and in comparison with internal carotid arteries (icas) and common carotid arteries (c...

the branches of external carotid artery were dissected and studied in six one humped camels.these specimens were preparated from slaughterhouse and fixed in10% formaline. the common carotid artery in one humped camel is divided into three branches , including , occipital artery , internal carotid artery and external carotid artery which in this respect it was similar to that of equine. external...
