Background: Visceral malperfusion is a serious complication of acute aortic dissection. Currently, diagnosis relies on signs of end-organ failure, which may be clinically obscure and delay crucial treatment.
Objective: The aim was to investigate external iliac (IA) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) pressures in cases where both vessels originate exclusively from the true lumen to develop and validate a novel early indicator of visceral malperfusion.

Background: Four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used as a noninvasive modality for assessing hemodynamic information with neurovascular and body applications. The application of 4D flow MRI for assessment of bowel disease in children has not been previously described.
Aim: To determine feasibility of superior mesenteric venous and arterial flow quantitation in pediatric patients using 4D flow MRI.

We encountered a case of situs inversus totalis in conjunction with an anomalous artery connecting the common hepatic artery and a jejunal branch of the superior mesenteric artery during anatomical dissection of a cadaver. The heart was located in the center of the thorax, with the apex located anterioinferiorly to the right of the midline and the base located posterosuperiorly to the left of the midline. The aortic arch coursed from right anterior to right posterior.

Background: There is an unmet medical need for noninvasive techniques to determine disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and intestinal ultrasound (IUS) has shown promising performance in this regard. In addition to parameters such as bowel wall thickness, stratification, and mesenteric fat, color Doppler signals are used to determine inflammatory activity in the gut. However, whether superb microvascular imaging (SMI), a microvascular flow imaging technique, improves the diagnostic accuracy is currently unclear.

Background: Acute mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening disease. Intrasplenic gas is an extremely rare finding in such cases.
Case Summary: We report a case of a 79-year-old woman with a history of end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis for approximately 20 years, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and atrial fibrillation who presented with two days of epigastric pain.
