Anticoagulation therapy using heparin followed by rivaroxaban was administered after the procedure. She continued to receive systemic chemotherapy as an outpatient. Neither restenosis nor stent thrombosis was observed after 7 months. Based on the presented case and literature review, portal vein stenting is an effective treatment option for jejunal variceal bleeding caused by malignant portal venous stricture after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Antithrombotic therapy following portal venous stenting is required to prevent stent thrombosis in the majority of cases, al- though it has a risk of inducing recurrent variceal bleeding. Adjunctive jejunal variceal embolization can pos- sibly be omitted in selected cases to obtain sufficient portal-SMV flow reconstruction.

The anatomical scientific data of poultry is important to support the recent researches either for illustrations in academic studies or clinically in diagnosis and treatment of some poultry nutritional diseases. The current investigation was performed on twenty broiler chickens of both sexes. The chickens were anaesthetized, slaughtered then the venous system was flushed with a normal saline to anatomically investigate the distribution of hepatic portal veins both intra and extrahepatic, as well as the hepatic venous and biliary duct systems. The fowl had two hepatic portal veins draining the gastrointestinal tract with its associated organs as spleen and pancreas. The left hepatic portal vein was small, restricted to a limited portion of left hepatic lobe and had been constituted by five main venous tributaries draining the proventriculus, gizzard and pylorus, while the right hepatic portal vein was the largest, receiving the proventriculosplenic, gastropancreaticoduodenal and common mesenteric veins then piercing the right hepatic lobe to be distributed in both hepatic segments through right and left divisions. The fowl has two hepatic portal veins differed in size and distribution. A characteristic imaginary trapezoid shape was formed by some tributaries draining the caudoventral part of the gizzard.

  • Pattern of Anatomical Variation of Mesenteric Veins Detected On
    Original Article PATTERN OF ANATOMICAL VARIATION OF MESENTERIC VEINS DETECTED ON HELICAL CT VENOGRAPHY AMONG PATIENTS WITH PANCREATIC PATHOLOGIES Naseera Khanam,1 Shazia Muzammil,2 Eisha Tahir3 ABSTRACT Background: Familiarity of the regular and commonest deviations of anatomy of the mesenteric venous system is of great significance for surgeons performing hepatobiliary, pancreatic and gastrointestinal surgeries. Objective: To delineate the variable anatomy of superior mesenteric vein and drainage site of inferior mesenteric vein on CT venograms. Methodology: A total of 114 patients undergoing helical CT venogram for pancreatic pathologies were included in this cross sectional study from 1stJanuary, 2014 to 31stJanuary, 2015 at Radiology department, Sharif Medical City Hospital, Lahore. The mesenteric venous system was analyzed in all patients. Appearance of the Superior Mesenteric Veins (SMV) and drainage site of the Inferior Mesenteric Veins (IMV) were assessed on CT venography. Two radiologists interpreted the images and reached a concensus on all findings. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 20. Results: The study included 64 (56.14%) female and 50 (43.85%) male with a mean age of 49±4 years. The SMV was composed of single and double trunks around the splenoportal confluence in 109 (95.61%) and 4 (3.50%) patients, respectively. It was absent in 1 (0.8%) patient. The IMV were identified in all patients. The IMV was observed to drain into splenic vein in 40 (35.08%) patients, SMV in 59 (51.75%), the junction between the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein in 14(12.28%), and first jejunal trunk in 1 (0.8%) patient.

However, prior to the publication of this handbook there has been little useful anatomical information on the animal. In 1974, Drs. Mohr, Reznik and Reznik-Schiiller of the Medizinische Hochschule Anatomical of Hannover produced an illustrated manuscript entitled "The European Ham- ster, An Anatomical Atlas." The manuscript was reviewed by Drs. Robert E. Habel and Howard E.

This study aimed to investigate whether the duodenojejunal uncinate process vein (DJUV) is a useful anatomical landmark for the caudal border of mesopancreatoduodenum resection. Methods This study enrolled 100 adult patients with hepatobiliary pancreatic disease who underwent preoperative multidetector-computed tomography (CT). The anatomy of the key blood vessels involved during PD was analyzed by preoperative CT. The DJUV was dened as the vein draining from the upper jejunum to the superior mesenteric vein adjacent to the uncinate process. Results Among 89 cases, the rst jejunal vein was the DJUV, whereas the second jejunal vein was the DJUV in 11 cases. The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery and vein were located on the cranial side of the DJUV in all cases.

In such cases, the curative intent is feasible and with encouraging results.
