Introduction & Importance: The Hepatic Artery Aneurysms (HAAs) are rare and asymptomatic with a high rate of rupture. The management is mandatory and depends on the size and the location of the aneurysm.
Case Presentation: We reported a case of 50 years old male, admitted to sharp epigastric pain. Radiological investigations confirmed a common hepatic artery aneurysm. We indicated an open surgery to repair the aneurysm, the postoperative course finished without any complications.
Clinical Discussion & Conclusion: HAAs are considered the second most common type of splanchnic aneurysms. Although from the rare occurrence, HAAs have a high rate of rupture. Open repair of the HAAs remains the treatment of choice of degenerative HAAs, to preserve the arterial flow to the liver.

Background: The combination of local therapy with lenvatinib and programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitors represents an emerging treatment paradigm for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). Our study sought to investigate the interrelationship between gut microbiota and intratumoral microbiota in the context of triple therapy, with a view to identifying potential biological markers.
Methods: The gut microbial community profiles of patients with primary untreated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and those treated with local therapy combined with lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitors were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing.

Background: Infiltrative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a therapeutic challenge due to its aggressive course and poor prognosis. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) plus immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and molecular targeted therapies (MTTs) has shown early promise for advanced HCC, but its role in advanced infiltrative HCC is unclear. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of HAIC combined with ICIs and MTTs in the treatment of advanced infiltrative HCC.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent malignant neoplasms in Brazil. Hepatectomy for resection of liver metastases plays an essential role in increasing disease-free survival, with the possibility of cure. The feasibility of liver resection depends on factors related to the remaining liver after surgery.

A 44 year-old previously healthy woman presented a persistent epigastric pain. Computed tomography revealed a saccular aneurysm with a diameter of 25x20 mm in the first jejunal artery and also a stenosis in the celiac trunk associated with median arcuate ligament syndrome, turning the hepatic perfusion dependent of the gastroduodenal artery flow. Through a midline laparotomy, celiac axis was exposed, and median arcuate ligament released for median arcuate ligament syndrome treatment.

Objectives: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the feasibility of surgical closure of ventricular septal defect in children with trisomy 18 by assessing perioperative events and long-term survival.
Methods: From April 2008 to March 2024, 41 consecutive patients were referred to us for ventricular septal defect surgery. The defect was closed in 35 patients at the end (median age, 16 months; median body weight, 5.
