BACKGROUND Delayed presentation of post-traumatic aortic pseudoaneurysm and its fistulous communication with the right renal vein is a very rare entity. Most of the cases described in literature are due to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture into the left renal vein. To the best of our knowledge, communication with the right renal vein has not been described in published literature. Our pat...

A 33-year-old man with chronic alcoholism presented with recurrent episodes of hematemesis and melena over an 18-month period. He had received about 20 units of packed red blood cells (PRBC). Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy performed elsewhere showed large esophageal varices and gastric varices (GOV2F2) for which three sessions of endoscopic sclerotherapy and glue injection had been perfo...

background : the portal system and azygos vein are the main drainage systems during portal hypertension. this study aims to compare the diameter of these veins by endoscopic ultrasonography (eus) inpatients with and without chronic liver disease (cld). materials and methods : during one year, patients with cld enrolled as the study group. patients who underwent eus for other reasons during the ...

Hemorrhage from ruptured pseudoaneurysm is a rapidly progressing and potentially fatal complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Stent graft placement for hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm has recently been reported as a valid alternative to transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). We report a case of pseudoaneurysm of the common hepatic artery (CHA) with distal arterial stenosis treated b...

A pancreatic pseudoaneurysm is a rare vascular malformation within the pancreas or in its immediate vicinity, resulting from vessel wall damage due to acute or chronic pancreatitis. Rupture of such malformation leads to a life-threatening hemorrhage. The treatment requires a precise and early diagnosis, indicating the need for surgical or conservative intervention. In this paper, a rare case of...

mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is rare in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) and usually caused by staphylococcus aureus. we describe a patient with a mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta at the proximal vein graft anastomosis site after cabg. culture from the sinus tract of the sternum and from the aneurysm sac was klebsiella pneumoniae. surgical te...

The ramifications of the portal vein in the liver of horses were studied by using corrosion casting and gross dissection. The portal vein in the horse supplies the hepatic lobes by six major branches. The right lobe is supplied by three main branches, namely the dorsal diaphragmatic, the right caudodorsal and the right intermediate branches. The left branch supplies the left lateral and medial ...
