Background: The femoral artery is conveniently located close to the surface; thus, it may be catheterized without much trouble. Interventional cardiology procedures and long-term hemodialysis access both make use of artery. Arteriography Doppler imaging its primary branch, profunda femoris superficial utilised create skin flaps for in reconstructive surgery breast, upper lower limbs.Methods: Ra...

of the internal pudendal veins without the possibility of embolizing the external pudendal vein, the periprostatic venous plexus, and the DDV. In fact, many papers were published referring to the embolization techniques of the deep dorsal vein and the related efferents (internal and external pudendal veins and the periprostatic venous plexus).8,9 At our institution, we developed a minimally inv...

This study was done to identify the normal and variants of saphenous tributaries in Korean adults. The pattern of confluence of saphenous tributaries, medial accessory saphenous, lateral accessory saphenous, superficial epigastric, superficial circumflex iliac and superficial external pudendal veins, was carefully examined in 249 lower limbs (right, 129; left, 120) of embalmed Korean cadavers (...

The present study describes the topography and morphometry of a unilateral ossified sacrotuberous ligament. It aims to discuss its anatomical, radiological and clinical implications. The pudendal nerve, internal pudendal artery, nerve to obturator internus and coccygeal branch of inferior gluteal artery are all-important structures near sacrotuberous ligament. An ossified sacrotuberous ligament...

Pseudoaneurysms rarely occur as a serious complication following incomplete hemostasis of an arterial puncture site. As a result of the increase in diagnostic and therapeutic angiography, the frequency of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm has increased as well. Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms associated with angiographic catheterization occur most commonly in the common femoral artery. Here we report a case...

a 73-year-old woman who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting for coronary artery stenosis six years ago, presented with right lower extremity claudication. angiography revealed right external artery stenosis. elective external iliac ptca was performed complicated with simultaneous external iliac artery and vein rupture that was an exceedingly rare event. retroperitoneal laparotomy with...

BACKGROUND Anorectal transplantation is a method for patients who have lost their anorectal function or suffer from congenital anorectal dysfunction to recover this function, and this has been investigated in experimental animal models using pigs, dogs, and rats. In this study, we performed an examination of anorectal transplantation in human cadavers to investigate whether this procedure could...

AIM To explore the relationship between such a construct and an existing continence score. METHODS A retrospective study of incontinent patients who underwent anal physiology (AP) was performed. AP results and Cleveland Clinic Continence Scores (CCCS) were extracted. An anal physiology score (APS) was developed using maximum resting pressures (MRP), anal canal length (ACL), internal and exter...

BACKGROUND Detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia is a condition in which reflexive contractions of the external urethral sphincter occur during bladder contractions, preventing the expulsion of urine. High-frequency stimulation (kHz range) has been shown to elicit a fast-acting and reversible block of action potential propagation in peripheral nerves, which may be a useful technique in the management ...
