  • Ipsilateral Subclavian Steal in Association with Aberrant Origin of the Left Vertebral Artery from the Aortic Arch
    411 Ipsilateral Subclavian Steal in Association with Aberrant Origin of the Left Vertebral Artery from the Aortic Arch John Holder1 Five cases are reported of left subclavian steal syndrome associated with anomalous Eugene F. Binet2 origin of the left vertebral artery from the aortic arch. In all five instances blood flow at Bernard Thompson3 the origin of the left vertebral artery was in an antegrade direction contrary to that usually reported in this condition. The distal subclavian artery was supplied via an extensive collateral network of vessels connecting the vertebral artery to the thyro­ cervical trunk. If a significant stenosis or occlusion is present within the left subc lavi an artery proximal to the origin of the left vertebral artery, the direction of the bl ood fl ow within the vertebral artery will reverse toward the parent vessel (retrograde flow). This phenomenon occurs when a negative pressure gradient of 20-40 torr exists between the vertebral-basilar artery junction and th e vertebral-subc lavian artery junction [1-3]. We describe five cases of subclavian steal confirmed by angiography where a significant stenosis or occlusion of the left subclavian artery was demonstrated in association with anomalous origin of th e left vertebral artery directly from the aortic arch. In all five cases blood flow at the origin of the left vertebral artery was in an antegrade direction contrary to that more commonly reported in the subclavian steal syndrome. Materials and Methods The five patients were all 44- 58-year-old men. Three sought medical attention for symptoms specificall y related to th e left arm .

  • Classification System of the Tibiofibular Syndesmosis Blood Supply and Its
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Classifcation system of the tibiofbular syndesmosis blood supply and its clinical relevance Received: 16 February 2018 Izabela Mróz1, Piotr J. Bachul1,2, Krzysztof A. Tomaszewski1, Tomasz Bereza1, Krzysztof Gil3, Accepted: 7 June 2018 Jerzy A. Walocha1 & Artur Pasternak 1 Published: xx xx xxxx Due to the lack of anatomical studies concerning complexity of the tibiofbular syndesmosis blood supply, density of blood vessels with further organization of syndesmotic vascular variations is presented in clinically relevant classifcation system. The material for the study was obtained from cadaveric dissections. We dissected 50 human ankles observing diferent types of arterial blood supply. Our classifcation system is based on the vascular variations of the anterior aspect of tibiofbular syndesmosis and corresponds with vascular density. According to our study the mean vascular density of tibiofbular syndesmosis is relatively low (4.4%) and depends on the type of blood supply. The highest density was observed among ankles with complete vasculature and the lowest when lateral anterior malleolar artery was absent (5.8% vs. 3.5%, respectively). Awareness of various types of tibiofbular syndesmosis arterial blood supply is essential for orthopedic surgeons who operate in the ankle region and radiologists for the anatomic evaluation of this area. Knowledge about possible variations along with relatively low density of vessels may contribute to modifcation of treatment approach by the increase of the recommended time of syndesmotic screw stabilization in order to prevent healing complications. Tibiofbular syndesmosis is a fbrous connection localized between the fbular notch of the tibia and medial surface of the lateral ankle.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the number of muscular branches destined to the soleus muscle and their distance from the origin of the fibular artery, to assess the vascular anatomy of the free fibula flap including the lateral head of the soleus muscle applied to maxillo-mandibular reconstruction. Methods We performed a cadaveric anatomic study on ten lower limbs, and a CT angiography anatomic study on 38 legs. The number of soleus branches originating from the fibular artery, and the distance between the origin of the fibular artery and each of the identified branches were measured. Results The number of soleus branches destined to the lateral head of the soleus muscle is variable, with in our study 1–3 branches found. Soleus branches destined to the lateral head of the soleus muscle emerged at a distance ranging between 0 and 2.9 cm (mean value = 1.82 cm) from the origin of the fibular artery in 40% of cases, between 3 and 5.9 cm (mean value = 4.27 cm) from the origin of the fibular artery in 37% of cases, and was at a distance of 6 cm or more (mean value = 6.93 cm) from the origin of the fibular artery in 20% of cases.

OZDEMIR Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Cukurova University, 01330 Balcali, Adana Turkey -Received for Publication, June 19,1999- Key Words: Subclavian artery, Vertebral artery, Arterial variation Summary: This study reports important variations in branches of the subclavian artery in a singular cadaver. The origin of the left vertebral artery was from the aortic arch. On the right side, no thyrocervical trunk was found. The two branches which normally originate from the thyrocervical trunk had a different origin. The transverse cervical artery arose directly from the subclavian artery and suprascapular artery originated from the internal thoracic artery. This variation provides a short route for posterior scapular anastomoses. An awareness of this rare variation is important because this area is used for diagnostic and surgical procedures. The subclavian artery, the main artery of the The variations of the subclavian artery and its upper extremity, also gives off the branches which branches have a great importance both in blood supply the neck region.

  • Surgical Anatomy of the Common Iliac Veins During Para-Aortic and Pelvic Lymphadenectomy for Gynecologic Cancer

Objective: Compression of the left common iliac vein between the right common iliac artery and the vertebrae is known to be associated with the occurrence of left iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In this study, we described the variability in vascular anatomy of the common iliac veins and evaluated the relationship between the degree of iliac vein compression and the presence of DVT using the data from surgeries for gynecologic cancer. Methods: The anatomical variations and the degrees of iliac vein compression were determined in 119 patients who underwent systematic para-aortic and pelvic lymphadenectomy during surgery for primary gynecologic cancer. Their medical records were reviewed with respect to patient-, disease-, and surgery-related data. Results: The degrees of common iliac vein compression were classified into three grades: grade A (n=28, 23.5%), with a calculated percentage of 0%-25% compression; grade B (n=47, 39.5%), with a calculated percentage of 26%-50% compression; and grade C (n=44, 37%), with a calculated percentage of more than 50% compression. Seven patients (5.9%) had common iliac veins with anomalous anatomies; three were divided into small caliber vessels, two with a flattened structure, and two had double inferior vena cavae.

Chentanez, N. Nateniyom, T. Huanmanop, S. Agthong Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand [Received: 19 June 2017; Accepted: 31 July 2017] Variations of the arterial and venous system of the abdomen and pelvis have im- portant clinical significance in hepatobiliary surgery, abdominal laparoscopy, and radiological intervention. A case of double inferior vena cava (IVC) with complex interiliac communication and variation of the common hepatic artery (CHA) arising from superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in a 79-year-old male cadaver is presented. Both IVCs ascended on either side of the abdominal aorta. The left-sided IVC crossed anterior to the aorta at the level of the left renal vein. The union of both IVCs was at the level just above the right renal vein. The diameter of right-sided IVC, left-sided IVC and the common IVC were 16.73 mm, 21.57 mm and 28.75 mm, respectively. In the pelvic cavity, the right common iliac vein was formed by a union of right external and internal iliac veins while the formation of left common iliac vein was from the external iliac vein and two internal iliac veins. An interiliac vein ran from right internal iliac vein to left common iliac vein with an additional communicating vein running from the middle of this interiliac vein to the right common iliac vein.
