Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare hematologic disorder that manifests with hemolytic anemia, thrombosis, and peripheral blood cytopenias.Acute abdominal pain is one of the PNH clinical manifestations due to venous thrombosis of intra-abdominal sites including hepatic, portal, mesenteric, and splenic veins.Eculizumaband allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) arethe only w...

acute cholangitis (ac) is commonly observed in general practice with different causes. we report a case of recurrent ac caused by anomaly of the right hepatic artery, as a rare underlying condition.

The cystic artery varies in origin, course and number and it is important to recognise it during operative procedure. Insufficient recognition of its anatomical variation may contribute to a dangerous situation, especially during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. To prevent iatrogenic injuries of the vessels and bile ducts, correct preparation with clear identification of the anatomic structures is...

Thorough knowledge of normal and variant anatomy of major unpaired arteries originating from the abdominal aorta is necessary to accomplish successful abdominal operations and to avoid complications. The coeliac artery, commonly known as the coeliac trunk (CT), is a major visceral branch of the abdominal aorta originating at its anterior contour just below the aortic hiatus of diaphragm at the ...

INTRODUCTION We describe successful two-step hepatic artery reconstruction in a patient whose graft site hepatic artery was too short for the use of a microclamp in living donor liver transplantation. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed as having hepatitis C and liver cirrhosis. Her 26-year-old son was the living liver donor. The living donor underwent right lobectomy. The ...

Venous thrombophilia is the result of clotting changes namely of a hypercoagulable state together with blood flow and vessel wall changes. There is no need for all these components to be present in order for thrombosis to occur. As the matter of fact, thrombosis may occur even if only one of these conditions is present. In clinical practice a combination of factors is usualy seen. In comparison...

the importance of vessel structure has been shown in pathogenesis of the equine and bovine laminitis. investigation on vessel structures is necessary to diagnose the mechanism of laminitis. due to lack of literature on ovine digital arteries. ovine digital vessels were studied using corrosion casting method. the hind limbs of 15 lambs of 3 months ages were separated from tarsus joint. after the...
