INTRODUCTION Isolated spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery is a very rare condition. Endovascular stent placement has been proposed recently for selected cases, which has led to some good clinical results. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery spreading to the origin of a right hepatic artery in a 48-year-old Chinese...

Aim. To analyze Inferior Mesenteric Artery in fetuses through its site of origin, length, diameter, and variation of its branches. Method. 100 fetuses were collected from various hospitals in Warangal at Kakatiya Medical College in Andhra Pradesh, India, and were divided into two groups, group I (second-trimester fetuses) and group II (third-trimester fetuses), followed by dissection. Result. (...

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is now used widely in the revascularization of peripheral artery disease. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman with chronic mesenteric ischemia, who presented with postprandial abdominal pain, food fear, and weight loss for 6 months. Mesenteric angiography showed critical stenosis in the celiac trunk, and superior and inferior mesenteric arteries. Inst...

Original Article PURPOSE: A thorough knowledge of the anatomy of colonic mesenteric arteries is necessary to accomplish successful uncomplicated abdominal operations, especially laparoscopic colonic resections in which the mesenteric vessels can't be palpated. Such knowledge is also important when performing a colonic resection for cancer using proximal vascular ligation and wide en bloc resect...

In nine dogs under pentobarbital anesthesia, electromagnetic flow transducers were implanted around the ascending aorta, brachiocephalic artery, superior mesenteric artery, and iliac artery. A catheter to measure arterial pressure was implanted into the thoracic aorta. After full recovery, hemodynamic variables were measured daily in conscious dogs in five sets of recordings: control, during an...

Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) results from insufficient oxygen delivery or utilization to meet metabolic demand. Two main mechanisms may lead to mesenteric ischemia: occlusion in the arteries or veins of the gastrointestinal tract, or reduced blood flow from shock states or increased intra-abdominal pressure, so-called non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia. Severe stenoses in the three main mes...

BACKGROUND A timely diagnosis of aortic dissection is associated with lower mortality. The use of emergent bedside ultrasound has been described to diagnose aortic dissection. However, there is limited literature regarding the use of bedside ultrasound to identify superior mesenteric artery dissection, a known high-risk feature of aortic dissection. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to present a case of ...
