BACKGROUND The recurrent Heubner's artery is the distal part of the medial striate artery. Occlusion of the recurrent artery of Heubner, classically contralateral hemiparesis with fasciobrachiocrural predominance, is attributed to the occlusion of the recurrent artery of Heubner and is widely known as a stroke syndrome in adults. However, isolated occlusion of the deep perforating arteries foll...

a 33-year-old female-a known case of behcet's disease- was admitted to the hospital due to fever, dyspnea and hemoptysis. one week before admission, she had developed right leg swelling. the history suggested either deep vein thrombosis (dvt) and pulmonary emboli or pulmonary artery vasculitis. diagnostic tests were requested and the necessary treatment was started accordingly

BACKGROUND The groin flap, based on the superficial circumflex iliac artery, was the first successful free flap. However, its popularity was lost essentially due to variable arterial anatomy. Clinical applications of perforator flap based on superficial circumflex iliac artery suggest that a dominant perforator based on his deep branch is enough to supply a large groin flap. METHODS Fresh cad...

the importance of vessel structure has been shown in pathogenesis of the equine and bovine laminitis. investigation on vessel structures is necessary to diagnose the mechanism of laminitis. due to lack of literature on ovine digital arteries. ovine digital vessels were studied using corrosion casting method. the hind limbs of 15 lambs of 3 months ages were separated from tarsus joint. after the...

The medial circumflex femoral artery usually arises from the deep femoral artery. It supplies the supplies adductors and hamstring group as well as sciatic nerve and femoral head and neck through anastomosis. In current study includes 342 dissected hemipelvis to clarify the origin of medial circumflex femoral artery. The medial circumflex femoral artery arose from the common and deep femoral ar...

Heart rate variation in deep breathing, a sensitive non-invasive measure of cardiac parasympathetic activity, was measured in 63 patients with coronary artery disease, in 22 patients with atypical chest pain, and in 20 healthy symptom free volunteers. There was significantly less heart rate variation in deep breathing in the patients with coronary artery disease than in the healthy subjects. Tw...

BACKGROUND Large soft tissue defects of ankle and foot always have been challenging to reconstruct. Reverse sural flaps, free flaps have been used for this problem with variable success. Reverse peroneal artery flap is an option to use with reliability without microvascular repair. Connections of peroneal artery around talus and ankle joint are deep and reliable with anterior tibial and post...

Objective Deep sternal wound infection following coronary artery bypass grafting is a serious complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite the substantial impact of deep sternal wound infection, there is a lack of specific risk stratification tools to predict this complication after coronary artery bypass grafting. This study was undertaken to develop a specific pro...

PURPOSE To determine whether MR angiography can be used to differentiate between the two vascular causes of bithalamic hyperintensity on T2-weighted MR images: "top of the basilar" artery occlusion and deep cerebral vein thrombosis. METHODS A retrospective review identified six patients with bithalamic T2 hyperintensity of vascular causes. MR angiography was performed in four patients, MR ang...

During a student dissection course held at the Tokyo Women's Medical University, in a 91-year-old human female cadaver we encountered a very rare case of a hypoplastic right external iliac artery. It continued into the normal femoral artery by anastomoses formed with the enlarged obturator and deep circumflex iliac arteries. While the obturator artery originated from the anterior branch of the ...
