Published: May 2009

Study the normal anatomical and variation of the recurrent artery of Heubner (RAH) in fifty Thai cadaveric brains were studied under operating microscope. The anterior communicating artery (ACoA) located at the orbital surface of gyrus rectus about 50% and medial surface of gyrus rectus about 50%. The recurrent artery of Heubner originated from the anterior cerebral artery part 2 (ACA2) 60.4%, junction of ACoA 31.9%, and anterior cerebral artery part 1 (ACA1) 7.7%. Ninety-two percent of the origins of the RAH were identified within 2 mm from the proximal and distal of ACoA. The most common site of its origin from main artery was at its lateral surface 91.0%. The courses of RAH in relation to ACA1 segment were found anteriorly 63.4%, superiorly 29.9% and posteriorly 6.7%, respectively.

Background: Modern pancreatic surgery has gradually changed with the introduction of neoadjuvant therapy. For patients with pancreatic cancer involving peripancreatic visceral arteries who have received neoadjuvant therapy, periarterial divestment has gradually gained popularity, which represents an alternative to arterial resection. There is ongoing debate about whether this approach achieves curative tumor resection comparable to that of arterial resection, and the differences in terms of postoperative complications and oncologic outcomes between the 2 surgical procedures.

Performance: Spontaneous dissections of the cerebral arteries are among the leading causes of stroke in young adults. They result from hemorrhage into the outer layers of the arterial wall, which can lead to stenosis or even complete vessel occlusion. Clinical presentations vary, ranging from localized pain to cerebral ischemic complications.

We document a case of a 75-year-old patient with a history of hypercholesterolemia and hypertension, who underwent endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with common iliac artery ectasia. Despite an initially successful procedure, the patient experienced recurrent episodes of acute limb ischemia in his right leg. Subsequent imaging revealed thrombus formation distal to the stent graft, constituting a potential source of embolization, which warranted a reevaluation of the treatment strategy.
