Renal vasculatures variations was normally found. Awareness of these variation was useful in many clinical fields procedures. During the routine dissection of posterior abdominal wall of approximately a 67 year old male formaldehyde cadaver. The left kidney present with arterial variation. An accessory renal artery was detected arising from the lateral aspect of the abdominal aorta at level dis...

background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the infl uence of ejection fraction (ef) on peak aortic time (pat) and  peak aortic enhancement (pae) during coronary computed tomography angiography (cta). materials and methods: one-hundred and twenty patients (64 men, 56 women) underwent measurement of coronary cta with a measurement of ef within 3 months of coronary cta.pearson’s correla...

isolated bilateral internal iliac artery (iia) aneurysm is a rare and potentially lethal disease. endovascular repair of this disorder is a matter of debate. a symptomatic 68-year-old male presented with severe pelvic pains. computed tomography revealed a leaking 46-mm aneurysm in the right iia, a 27-mm aneurysm in the left iia, and ectatic changes at a diameter of 31 mm in the right common ili...

PURPOSE To analyze aortic elastic properties (AEP) characteristics, dissection and elastic data of ascending aorta (AA) in the population with a high risk of aortic diseases. METHODS Forty five patients with artery diseases undergoing aortic digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were enrolled in this study. The maximal, minimal diameter and changes in diameter of ascending and descending aort...

Methods A 61 years old man with abdominal endovascular aortic stent-graft inserted previously, had a saccular aneurysm of descending aorta distal to left subclavian artery and a small dissection flap with saccular aneurysm originating from left subclavian artery. Since the patient refused to have any surgical procedure for left subclavian artery revascularisation, thoracic aortic-stenting for d...

We successfully treated a case of a 65-year-old female with an abdominal aortic aneurysm coexisting with an atypical coarctation of thoracoabdominal aorta and celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery occlusion. A dilated inferior mesenteric artery was supplying the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery regions. The patient also had mitral regurgitation. After a mitral valve plasty, we ...

Fig. 1. Upper left oblique view using a volume rendering technique from heart and great vessels. Ascending aorta (AA) is medial and gives rise first to left carotid artery (LCA), then to right carotid artery (RCA) and right subclavian artery (RSCA), left subclavian artery (LSCA) arising from the upper part of the descending aorta. The aortic arch is right sided (RAA) and its distal portion is v...

Stenosis of the aorta observed after descending aorta replacement for traumatic aortic injury was managed by a placement of a bypass between the left subclavian artery and the distal descending aorta with success.

BACKGROUND Patients who have Stanford type A aortic dissection with impaired coronary arteries or who have aneurysms from the ascending aorta to the aortic arch with coronary artery disease need coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with tube graft replacement of the ascending aorta simultaneously. When vein grafts are used for CABG in these patients, the proximal anastomoses of vein grafts ar...

Blunt trauma to the thoracic aorta occurs typically in a highvelocity or high-impact motor vehicle accident when there is a combination of sudden deceleration and shearing at the relatively immobile aortic isthmus; the area distal to the left subclavian artery and proximal to the third inter-costal artery, representing the junction between the relatively mobile aortic arch and the fixed descend...
