introduction: we did this study because there were a few studies about aorto-branch junction. methods: four light microscope and electron microscope study, the abdominal aorta, renal artery, and the adjoining right and left renal arteries were dissected out from 4 neonate dogs. results: based on the results, there is only one cell type in the tunica intima of endothelium in both arteries. in ab...

behcet’s disease is a rare immune mediated systemic vasculitis which besides it’s more frequent involvement of eyes and skin,   sometimes present with aortic pseudo aneurysm and more rarely cardiac inflammatory masses.a 51-year-old patient with behçet’s disease presented with two symptomatic aortic pseudoaneurysms concomitant with a right atrial mass. computed tomography (ct) revealed one supra...

conclusions in addition to an appropriate clinical history, ct findings indicating decreased aortomesenteric angle and a shortened aortomesenteric distance can suggest the diagnosis for both the superior mesenteric artery syndrome and accompanying nutcracker syndrome. case presentation in this report, a patient is described presenting with epigastric pain and weight loss due to superior mesente...

Awareness of the presence of the accessory renal artery in kidney transplant, treatment of renal artery stenosis, clinical assessment of renal vascular hypertension, radiology and angiography interventions is very helpful. In 30% of cases the accessory renal artery is separated from the abdominal aorta and in most cases, this artery along with the main artery entered to the kidney through t...

we report the case of a three-year-old girl who complained from dysphagia and post-prandial vomiting since she was 6months old. several diagnostic work-ups were performed for her problem. upper gi endoscopy was normal but barium swallow revealed an external pressure effect over upper part of the esophagus (figure 1) and the ct angiography of thoracic aorta showed that this external pressure eff...

aortopulmonary window (apw) is a rare congenital malformation. it results from an incomplete division between the ascending aorta and the pulmonary artery. we describe a 26-year-old male, who presented with a grade ii exertional dyspnea and palpitations. echocardiography revealed an apw with an ascending aorta aneurysm. he underwent surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass without aortic cross-clam...
