Performing resection of a biliary tract malignancy with a hepatic artery aneurysm is very challenging. Resection of the extrahepatic bile duct and extra-anatomical reconstruction can be successfully performed using free radial artery autografts from the aorta to the right hepatic artery. Hepatic artery thrombosis can be prevented with intimal preservation.

We herein report the case of a splenic artery aneurysm with a hepatosplenomesenteric trunk that presented in a pregnant woman. Catheter embolization was not performed due to the wide neck of the aneurysm and its close location to the trunk indicates a high risk of mesenteric trunk thrombosis. We instead performed surgical resection of the aneurysm after successful delivery of the infant by Caes...

Hepatic artery thrombosis represents a potentially deadly complication after a liver transplant. Portal vein arterialization recently has been proposed as a bridge approach in patients with hepatic artery thrombosis needing a retransplant. We report the case of a 53-year-old man treated with a liver transplant for a cryptogenetic cirrhosis. One month after a liver transplant, a hepatic artery t...

Introduction: The knowledge and realization of the frequency and multiplicity of abnormalities of the cystic artery is aperquisite for safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Objective:To describe the morphological characteristics of the cystic artery in the triangle of Calot. Methods: Descriptive-prospective cross sectional study was performed in 200 patients, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystec...

THROMBOSIS OF the hepatic artery (HAT) continues to be a serious complication following orthotopic liver transplantation (OL Tx). Several studies have failed to identify possible risk factors that may be related to thrombosis of the hepatic artery. Nonetheless. a clear definition of the responsible factors is necessary to formulate guidelines and protocols for the prevention and management of t...

background: the celiac axis, superior mesenteric artery (sma), and hepatic artery are the most important branches of abdominal aorta due to their vascularization field. the aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of different anatomical variation of celiac axis, sma, hepatic artery, and its branches with multidetector computed tomography (mdct) angiography of upper abdomen arteries. mat...

Anatomical variations of hepatic arteries may be problematic in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We experienced pancreatic head cancer in a patient with rare variation of hepatic artery and performed PD successfully with the resection of this artery. A 75-year-old woman showed pancreatic head tumor on CT. Preoperative CT detected rare variation of hepatic artery; posterior segmental branch of righ...

known to cause multiple pulmonary artery aneurysms (PAAs) and venous thrombosis (1, 2). The patients can develop massive hemoptysis and the disorder can result in death. Although the use of systemic corticosteroids with a combination of immunosuppressants has been the mainstay of treatment, interventional treatments are required for a life-threatening hemoptysis. However, a thrombosis in the ce...

Rationale: Portal annular pancreas is a rare anatomic variation, where the uncinated process of the pancreas connects with the dorsal pancreas and the pancreas tissue encases the portal vein (PV), superior mesenteric vein (SMV) or splenic vein (SV). Malignancies are quite uncommon in the patients, who have an annular pancreas especially portal annular pancreas. Ectopic common hepatic artery and...
