Endovascular repair is often difficult in the case of a huge abdominal aortic aneurysm for anatomic reasons. Here, we describe open repair of a huge infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Open repair was performed through laparotomy with the Cattell-Braasch maneuver, a technique for right-sided medial visceral rotation. Laparotomy with the Cattell-Braasch maneuver is simple and effective in open repair of a huge abdominal aortic aneurysm extending into the right common iliac artery, for which proximal clamping is difficult because of a tortuous proximal neck just below the hepatic region.

Abnormal ramification pattern of the renal and testicular vessels.

We demonstrate an aberrant ramification pattern of the renal and testicular vessels. On both sides, the anterior and posterior renal veins emerged from the renal. On the right side, the anterior renal vein collected the right testicular vein and drained into the inferior vena cava, while the posterior one directly drained into the inferior vena cava.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the characteristics and outcomes of patients with an aortoduodenal fistula (ADF) who underwent surgical treatment at a single institution.
Materials And Methods: The data of patients diagnosed with ADF at the Yonsei University Gangnam Severance Hospital, South Korea, between 2019 and 2022 were included. Primary repair and segmental resection of the duodenum with duodeno-jejunostomy were the two main methods used to repair ADF.
The COVID-19 virus not only has significant pathogenicity but also influences the progression of many diseases, altering patient prognosis. Cardiovascular diseases, particularly aortic aneurysms, are among the most life-threatening conditions. COVID-19 infection is reported to accelerate the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and increase the risk of rupture; however, a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms remains elusive.

Cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTs) and their receptors are involved in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). However, whether CysLT1 receptor antagonists such as montelukast can influence experimental nondissecting AAA remains unclear. Nondissecting AAAs were induced in C57BL/6J mice by transient aortic luminal infusion of porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE).
