Isolated spontaneous superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection is relatively rare. Often found incidentally on cross-sectional imaging, often managed non-operatively. We present a patient who presented with chest pain and was found to have a SMA dissection.

Background: Despite multiple techniques, portal vein (PV) inflow reconstruction during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for patients with biliary atresia (BA) and small-diameter PV remains a challenge. The use of PV interposition grafts has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate complications and reinterventions.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective multi-center cohort study of patients under 3 years of age (n=85) undergoing LDLT for biliary atresia using PV interposition grafts.

The celiac ganglia are a network of nerve fibers that regulate various functions related to digestion, while the celiac trunk is a major artery that supplies oxygenated blood to the stomach, small intestine, and other organs in the upper abdominal region. Anatomical variants of these structures are common and can have significant implications for surgical and medical procedures. This prospective observational study was conducted over one year and included 300 patients (aged 45-75 years) with a history of peripheral arterial disease, evaluated at Dr.

Thromboembolic events are among the most serious, yet rare complications of nephrotic syndrome. While peripheral venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are the most common, superior mesenteric artery thrombosis is a rare but life-threatening occurrence. We present a case of severe cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection complicated by congenital nephrotic syndrome, leading to mesenteric ischemia.

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.
