We present the case of a 75-year-old patient with asymptomatic gastro-duodenal artery aneurism (GAA) that was coiled through the left femoral artery. The gastro-duodenal artery (GDA) was then embolized. Following the intervention, the patient's left foot became cold. A sub-acute ischemia caused by a stenotic effect in the left external iliac artery and by lower limb embolic phenomena caused by the introductor, was diagnosed. A thromboembolectomy of the popliteal, anterior and posterior tibial and peroneal arteries was performed with a Fogarty catheter with good results. Aneurisms of the GDA are rare. Rupture is a severe and unpredictable complication that complicates management and darkens prognosis. Though endovascular treatment for splanchnic aneurisms are used more and more often and offers numerous advantages compared to surgery, it is not without risk. A multidisciplinary approach with careful collaboration between the surgeon and the radiologist is recommended. Abbreviattions: GAA: gastro-duodenal artery aneurism, GDA: gastro-duodenal artery.

Challenging arterial pattern of foregut and its potential impact on surgery.
Anat Cell Biol
September 2024
Department of Anatomy, R.G. Kar Medical College, West Bengal, India.
Anticipating a wide range of morphological variations of arterial anatomy of foregut derivatives beyond the classical pattern, a precise understanding is pertinent to preoperative diagnosis, operative procedure and to avoid potentially devastating post-operative outcome during various traumatic and non-traumatic vascular insult of foregut. The study aimed to revisit the morphological details and update unusual configurations of arteries of foregut to establish clinico-anatomical correlations. This study described the detailed branching pattern of coeliac trunk (CT) as principal artery of foregut with source & course of hepatic, gastric, duodenal and pancreatic branches in 58 cadaveric dissections.

Article Synopsis
- Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a frequent issue in adults undergoing VA-ECMO for severe heart problems, with the study aiming to identify its risk factors and outcomes.
- In a study of 455 patients, 10% experienced UGIB, with a significantly higher mortality rate and longer hospital stays compared to those without UGIB.
- Key risk factors for UGIB included a history of peptic ulcers, use of dual antiplatelet therapy, and undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Regional vessels wrapping following pancreaticoduodenectomy reduces the risk of post-operative extra-luminal bleeding. A systematic review.
Ann Med Surg (Lond)
October 2022
Department of Digestive Disease and General Surgery, Royal Sussex County Hospital, UHSussex NHS Trust, Eastern Road Brighton BN2 5BE, UK.
Background: Post-pancreatectomy bleeding is a potentially fatal complication which results from the erosion of the regional visceral arteries, mainly the hepatic artery and stump of the gastro-duodenal artery, caused by a leak or fistula from the pancreatic anastomosis. The objective of this article is to assess whether wrapping of regional vessels with omentum or falciform/teres ligament following pancreaticoduodenectomy reduces the risk of extra-luminal bleeding.
Materials And Method: Standard medical electronic databases were searched with the help of a local librarian and relevant published randomised controlled trials (RCT) and any type of comparative trial were shortlisted according to the inclusion criteria.
Median Arcuate Ligament Compression on Celiac Trunk during Liver Transplantation Procedure.

Department of Liver Transplantation, Pir Abdul Qadir Shah Jeelani Institute of Medical Sciences, Gambat, Sindh, Pakistan.
Low insertion of median arcuate ligament (MAL) can cause compression over the celiac trunk with subsequent complications. During liver transplantation procedure, the graft artery is usually anastomosed with the hepatic artery of the recipient, which arises from the celiac trunk. MAL compression might reduce hepatic arterial blood flow to the graft, which can induce postoperative hepatic arterial thrombosis, causing graft failure.
