Atherosclerotic disease of the abdominal aorta and its visceral branches poses significant health risks due to its potential to cause severe complications. Atherosclerosis affects renal and mesenteric vessels, contributing to renal artery stenosis and mesenteric ischemia, respectively, both of which can result in organ damage and ischemic bowel disease if left untreated. Therapy with guideline-directed medical therapy is advised in all patients. Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is infrequent and difficult to diagnose illness. Current evidence suggests that compared with open surgical repair, in anatomically suitable lesions, endovascular therapy is the most cost-effective choice for patients with CMI.

Introduction And Importance: Mesenteric cysts are rare abdominal lesions that can present with varying clinical manifestations. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent complications, especially in pediatric populations.
Case Presentation: A 10-year-old female patient presented to our facility with a palpable abdominal mass localized in the periumbilical region.

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.

Congenital portosystemic shunt (CPSS) is a rare vascular anomaly in which portal vein blood flows into the systemic circulation without passing through the liver. They occur in approximately 1 in 30,000-50,000 live births. We present an 11-year-old patient with an extrahepatic CPSS managed with long-term follow-up.

Introduction: Malignant tumours of the aorta are a rare disease and often misdiagnosed as they masquerade as wall adjacent thrombus or inflammatory disease. Due to the often delayed diagnosis and the rapidly progressing illness, the outcome is very poor.
Report: A 50 year old female patient who had received coeliac and mesenteric artery stenting followed by an aortomesenteric bypass after stent occlusion two years earlier was treated.
