Selective delivery of low-dose streptokinase was effective in the treatment of embolic occlusion of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries. The two-catheter technique resulted in complete lysis of clot in the celiac artery and improvement in patency of the superior mesenteric artery. The procedure restored effective mesenteric blood flow and provided an alternative to surgery in a very ill patient.

Background: Traumatic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are rare entities, especially when referring to visceral arterioportal AVFs. Currently, there are no large epidemiological studies looking specifically at traumatic visceral AVFs. When traumatic AVFs have been discussed in the literature, it is in the form of case reports or case series and focused on peripheral AVFs.

Deep Learning Models for Automatic Classification of Anatomic Location in Abdominopelvic Digital Subtraction Angiography.

J Imaging Inform Med

January 2025

Department of Radiology, UC Davis School of Medicine, University of California, Davis, 4860 Y Street, Suite 3100, Sacramento, CA, 95817-2307, USA.

Purpose: To explore the information in routine digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and evaluate deep learning algorithms for automated identification of anatomic location in DSA sequences.

Methods: DSA of the abdominal aorta, celiac, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric, and bilateral external iliac arteries was labeled with the anatomic location from retrospectively collected endovascular procedures performed between 2010 and 2020 at a tertiary care medical center. "Key" images within each sequence demonstrating the parent vessel and the first bifurcation were additionally labeled.

Hepatobiliary Surgery and Liver Transplantation Unit, Cruces University Hospital, Bilbao, Spain. Electronic address:

Background: The progressive increase in the prevalence of morbid obesity (MO) in the general population is a pressing issue. This rise in MO has also been observed in patients with liver disease who are candidates for liver transplantation (LT).

Methods: A retrospective study of a single-center series was conducted to analyze the impact of MO on morbidity, mortality, and patient survival after LT.

Encountering Arc of Bühler during pancreaticoduodenectomy surgery.

BMJ Case Rep

January 2025

Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery Unit, Royal North Shore Hospital, St Leonards, New South Wales, Australia.

The Arc of Bühler (AoB) is a rare anatomical variant in gastrointestinal vasculature where there is an aberrant anastomotic vessel between coeliac and superior mesenteric arteries. We present a rare case where AoB was noted intraoperatively to have haemodynamically significant flow in the context of coeliac artery stenosis, supplementing arterial supply to the hepatic artery proper via the gastroduodenal artery (GDA). An interpositional jump graft between the aorta and the GDA stump was created using the long saphenous vein, and flow was restored.

Stent-graft implantation is a widely recognized method for endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms. In cases where the aneurysm involves the thoracic and abdominal aorta, repair including fenestrated and branched stent grafts provides a viable alternative. This approach, initially reserved for patients unsuitable for open surgery, has become preferred for anatomically appropriate thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.
