Presented herein is a clinical case report concerning endovascular treatment of severe chronic ischaemia of digestive organs in a patient with lesions of all three visceral arteries. Peculiarities of endovascular technique in mechanical revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery are described. Restoration of blood flow through even one visceral artery, i. e., superior mesenteric artery, is an effective and safe method of treatment for chronic intestinal ischaemia.

Hemodynamic investigations on the portal hypertension and treatment of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) based on CFD simulation.

Hemodynamic processes from the portal vein(PV) to the inferior vena cava(IVC) were mimicked for three patients with portal hypertension(PH) and the effects of stent parameters on the outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS) were investigated through computational fluid dynamics(CFD). The liver region was simulated with porous media model and the spatial distributions of superior mesenteric vein(SMV) and splenic vein(SV) blood were solved through the Eulerian multiphase model. The present method is able to simulate the PH flow and predict the PV pressure, the stent shunt rate and the SMV blood proportion after TIPS treatment.

Purpose: We present the case of a rare extrahepatic portocaval shunt that resulted in communication of the portal vein and the inferior vena cava (IVC) at the level between two right renal veins that was incidentally diagnosed with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in an asymptomatic patient.
Methods: A woman in her sixties with abdominal pain and diarrhea of unclear origin underwent exploratory abdominal CECT.
Results: The CECT incidentally revealed an extrahepatic portocaval shunt, whereby a vessel arising from the portal vein superior to the confluence of the superior mesenteric and splenic veins drained into the posterior aspect of the IVC between two right renal veins.

Background: Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury can occur in a wide variety of diseases and surgeries. If necessary, the blood flow should be restored, including re-anastomosis by removing the intestines with impaired circulation. In this process, anastomotic strength is as important as inflammatory responses and oxidative stress.

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) typically arises in patients with underlying cirrhosis, hepatobiliary malignancies, abdominal inflammatory conditions, or hematologic disorders. However, in non-cirrhotic individuals, PVT is less common and may initially present with minimal symptoms, escalating significantly if it extends to the mesenteric veins. Here, we present the case of a 37-year-old male with combined portal and mesenteric venous thrombosis, manifesting as acute intestinal obstruction.

The cystic artery is a critical anatomical landmark in both laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy. This report presents a unique case involving two rare anatomical variations: double cystic arteries, along with a superficial branch originating from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) - a previously unreported combination with significant clinical and surgical implications. Unlike earlier studies, this research provides detailed anatomical and embryological insights supported by high-quality imaging and illustrations to guide surgeons in recognizing and managing this novel variation.
