Objective: To evaluate the influences of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) types and Riolan artery arcade absence on the incidence of anastomotic leakage(AL) after laparoscopic resection of rectal cancer.

Methods: Clinical data of 116 local advanced rectal cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic resection in The Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2012 to December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. IMA and Riolan artery arcade were examined by preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) reconstruction. The influences of IMA type, Riolan artery arcade absence and ligation site (high or low) on AL were analyzed by Logistic regression.

Results: The proportion of IMA types(I(-IIII() was 57.8%(67/116), 10.3%(12/116), 31.0%(36/116) and 0.9%(1/116), respectively. Riolan artery arcade absence was found in 60.3%(70/116). Eight (6.9%) patients suffered from AL. IMA type III( had significantly higher AL incidence as compared to other IMA types [19.4%(7/36) vs. 1.2%(1/80), P=0.001]. Meanwhile, patients with Riolan artery arcade absence also had significantly higher AL incidence[11.4%(8/70) vs. 0.0%(0/46), P=0.030]. However, the difference in AL incidence between high and Low IMA ligation was not statistically significant [8.0%(7/87) vs. 3.4%(1/29), P=0.531]. Seven of these 8 AL patients were found in IMA type III( with Riolan artery arcade absence and high ligation. Multivariate analysis showed that IMA type III( (P=0.001) and Riolan artery arcade absence (P=0.002) were independent risk factors of AL.

Conclusions: IMA type III( with Riolan artery arcade absence increases AL incidence significantly in laparoscopic resection of rectal cancer. IMA type and Riolan aretry arcade absence or not contribute to the selection of IMA ligation site in the operation. For the colorectal cancer patients with IMA type III( and Riolan artery arcade absence, selective low IMA ligation with root lymph node dissection should be recommended.

Introduction: Endovascular revascularisation (ER) is often used as first line treatment for chronic mesenteric ischaemia, with high technical success and a lower rate of peri-operative adverse events than open surgical repair. Distal embolisation following ER is a potentially life threatening complication with a high mortality rate.

Background Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has evolved into treatment of choice for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Type II endoleaks, although frequently benign, can lead to sac enlargement and rupture. Management of these endoleaks by endovascular means can be quite challenging and may require complex techniques and assistance of interventional radiologists, not always available in all vascular units.

The arc of Riolan (AoR), a marginal vessel in the left colon, interconnects the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries. A 65-year-old woman presented with an incidental aneurysmal lesion in the left upper abdomen found on ultrasound. Computed tomography revealed a 27-mm saccular aneurysm in the AoR with occlusion of the celiac artery and severe stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery.

Objective: To explore the value of treatment choice and clinical prognosis for Riolan's arch in chronic superior mesenteric artery (SMA) ischaemic disease in vascular surgery.

Methods: The clinical data of 215 patients with SMA ischaemic disease (41 cases with Riolan's arch and 174 cases without) admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery, Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University (China) from January 2019 to April 2023 were reviewed. Clinical characteristics, imaging findings, treatment, perioperative complications, and patient follow-up data were analysed to observe the impact of Riolan's arch on the prognosis of patients with SMA ischaemic disease.
