isolated common hepatic artery branch thrombosis with severe gastric ischemia and duodenojejunal infarction is a rare condition; it usually presents with acute abdomen and may be associated with underlying thrombotic risk factors. we present a 35-year-old man admitted to our hospital with five days history of sudden abdominal pain and deteriorating epigastric pain. he was a driver and had no an...

Isolated common hepatic artery branch thrombosis with severe gastric ischemia and duodenojejunal infarction is a rare condition; it usually presents with acute abdomen and may be associated with underlying thrombotic risk factors. We present a 35-year-old man admitted to our hospital with five days history of sudden abdominal pain and deteriorating epigastric pain. He was a driver and had no an...

PURPOSE To evaluate and model the risk of in vivo thrombosis in each hepatic vessel type during hepatic microwave ablation as a function of vessel diameter, velocity, and vessel-antenna spacing. MATERIALS AND METHODS A single microwave ablation antenna was inserted into a single porcine lobe (n = 15 total) adjacent to a hepatic artery, hepatic vein, or portal vein branch. Conventional ultraso...

Vascular variations in and around the porta hepatis are common. A sound knowledge of possible variations at these sites is vital for surgeons during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and surgical resection of the liver lobes. We report the case of several variations of the hepatic and cystic arteries in which, the common hepatic artery trifurcated into the gastroduodenal, right hepatic, and left hep...

Living donor liver transplantation has been associated with severe vascular complications like hepatic artery thrombosis, which commonly involves the hepatic segment 4. Most authors have defined the artery to this segment as the middle hepatic artery. The present study was undertaken to characterize the origin of middle hepatic artery and classify the variations observed in cadaveric livers, an...

A less common type of celiacomesenteric arterial trunk was noticed during a routine cadaver dissection in a 30-year-old male cadaver. The left gastric artery gave an additional accessory left hepatic branch to the liver, while the common hepatic branch gave rise to right and left hepatic arteries. Additionally, the superior mesenteric artery gave an accessory right hepatic branch, to the liver....

The decrease in the number of cadaveric donors has proved a limiting factor in the number of liver transplants, leading to the death of many patients on the waiting list. The living donor liver transplantation is an option that allows, in selected cases, increase the number of donors. One of the most serious complications in liver transplantation is hepatic artery thrombosis, in the past consid...

OBJECTIVE Hepatic artery thrombosis after liver transplantation is uncommon, but represents an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to identify the possible risk factors for the development of hepatic artery thrombosis, and the impact of hepatic artery thrombosis on the patients and graft survival. METHODS Between January 1994 and June 1998, we reviewed retrosp...

Some rare anomalies of the celiaco-mesenteric system were observed postmortem in a Japanese adult male: a) The left gastric, common hepatic, splenic and superior mesenteric arteries arose independently from the abdominal aorta. b) The anterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery of the superior mesenteric artery issued a hepatic artery which ascended along the anterior surface of the pancreas a...
