Objectives: To understand the effect of 50-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) on fetal celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) Doppler parameters.

Methods: A total of 43 healthy pregnant women followed in our hospital were included in the study. All Doppler parameters of the celiac artery and SMA (peak systolic velocity (PSV); pulsatility index (PI); resistance index (RI); systolic/diastolic ratio (SD); time average maximum velocity (TAMAX)) were obtained by ultrasonography before and 1 h after OGTT.

Results: The mean PSV value of the celiac artery decreased statistically significantly after OGTT (37.29 ± 11.96 cm/s; 29.51 ± 10.07 cm/s; p=0.002). While the mean of the PI was 2.09 ± 0.57 before the test, it was found to be 1.84 ± 0.64 after the test (p=0.027). Mean PSV (39.82 ± 13.07 cm/s; 35.19 ± 15.27 cm/s; p=0.104) and PI (2.21 ± 0.65; 2.11 ± 0.80; p=0.375) values of SMA were also found to be decreased without statistically significancy.

Conclusions: The data obtained from our study reveals that the PSV and PI values of celiac artery and SMA slightly decrease after OGTT.

Objective: As aneurysmal disease is progressive, proximal disease progression and para-anastomotic aneurysms are complications experienced after open infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (AAA). As such, fenestrated or branched endovascular repair (F/BEVAR) may be indicated in these patients. Data describing fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair after prior open repair are limited to institutional databases.

We present a case of an 86-year-old female with chronic mesenteric ischemia secondary to long-segment flush occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and near-total occlusion of the celiac artery. The superior mesenteric artery was unable to be revascularized by conventional antegrade approaches. Successful transcollateral crossing of the occluded superior mesenteric artery and body-flossing, followed by antegrade balloon angioplasty, shockwave lithotripsy, and stent implantation were performed.

Introduction And Importance: Splenic artery aneurysm is extremely rare but potentially life threatening disease which poses great challenge in diagnosing due to non-specific nature of clinical presentation. Rarely, it presents with upper gastrointestinal bleeding i.e.

Objective: Paravisceral aortic lesions present significant challenges for endovascular treatment. This retrospective analysis of consecutively treated patients from April 2017 to June 2021 aimed to analyse the outcome of primary intra-operative embolisation of aortic complicated pseudoaneurysms and gutter channels during parallel graft (PG) repair of paravisceral symptomatic aortic pseudoaneurysms.

Methods: Patients with symptomatic pseudoaneurysms of the paravisceral aorta treated with PGs using chimney or periscope configurations were included.

Purpose: The use of surgeon-modified fenestrated endograft to treat a bleeding complication in the common iliac artery.

Technique: An Endurant limb graft was modified on back table in theater after planning the fenestration using a semi-automated centerline. The Endurant stent was planned to land flush at the aortic bifurcation.
