In contrast to the large number of projects dealing with game management and game utilization, there has been no carefully planned program for studies dealing with anatomical systems in rodents and other game animals. Hunt (1924) and Greene (1935) have described the anatomy of the rat, and Orwoll (l9AO) has described the osteology and myology of the fox squirrel. It is the Object of this study to present a complete description of the anatomy of the blood vascular system of the fox squirrel, Sciurus niger rufiventer (Geoffroy), Michigan's largest tree squirrel (Burt, 19A6, p. 192). There has been no special attempt to completely compare the anatomy of the blood vascular system of the fox squirrel with other mammals, but there are described many differences in the circulatory systems of various mammalian species. II. MATERIALS AND METHODS The seven fox squirrels used in this study were live— trapped in Baker woodlot, East Lansing, Michigan. The animals were embalmed and their circulatory system triply injected with colored latex at the General Biological Supply House in Chicago. The arterial system was injected with red latex, the venous system with blue, and the hepatic- portal system with yellow. Seventeen figures are presented in addition to the descriptions given in the text. The figures are photographs of pen and ink plates which were traced from original drawings made at the time of dissection. A scale of 1 cm. appears in each figure. The veins are represented in the figures as darker vessels, and the arteries as lighter ones. In each figure the blood vessels are lettered and the related anatomical structures, such as muscles, are numbered. In the text, each vessel has after its name a letter and a number of the figure to aid the reader in addition to the written description. A speed graphic camera was used for all photography. The photographs were taken with contrast process film, developed in contrast developer, and printed on Kodabromide F-4 paper. III. THE HEART The heart of the Sciurus niger (fig. 1) is a pear shaped organ about 35 mm. in length. It lies in the middle mediasti— num and extends from the level Of rib three to rib six. It is enclosed within a sac which is known as the pericardium. The wall Of the pericardium is composed of two layers: a) an external strong fibrous layer; and b) an internal serous ' layer. The fibrous layer extends a short distance along the great arteries and veins to fuse with the advential layer of these vessels. The internal serous layer consists of two portions: a) the parietal layer, which lines the sac, and b) the visceral layer or epicardium (Maximow and Bloom, 1947, p. 256), which covers the outer surface of the heart to give it a glistening appearance. The apex of the heart lies free near the common tendon of the diaphragm, but the base is anchored in the mediastinum by the great vessels. The dorsal and lateral surfaces Of the pericardium are in contact with the paired pleural sacs, but the ventral surface of the pericardium is mostly naked. Fusion of the two parietal layers of the pleural sacs forms a partition, the mediastinal septum, which is demonstrable as a thin membrane which extends from the ventral surface of the pericardium to the ventral body wall. The heart of this rodent is a typical four chambered mammalian heart. Its chambers are formed by a longitudinal and a lateral transverse (auriculoventricular) septum. The anterior chambers, i.e. cephalad to the auriculoventricular septum, are called atria, and the inferior chambers are known as the ventricles. A rather deep groove runs diagonally across the exterior of the heart to mark the separation of the auricles and ventricles. The sinus venosus is no longer visible as an entity, but has become incorporated into the wall of the right auricle. This may be correlated with the reason for the great systemic veins Opening directly into the right atrium. Embryologically, the conus arteriosus has split dichotomously into: a) the systemic aorta, which connects with the left ventricle; and b) the pulmonary trunk connecting with the right ventricle. The course gf_the blood through the heart: The course of the blood through the heart is essentially the same as it is in other mammals. The blood is returned to the right atrium of the heart from the body through the great systemic veins; the two superior venae cavae (precavae) (M, and V, fig. 1) and the single inferior vena cava (post cava) (X, fig. 1). From the right atrium the blood is passed through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. The latter pumps it through the pulmonary semilunar valve to the single pulmonary trunk. The trunk divides into the right and left pulmonary arteries which transport the blood to the hilus of the right and left lung respectively. Within the lung, the blood is chemically relieved of carbon dioxide and is oxygenated before returning to the left atrium of the heart by the numerous pulmonary veins. The blood of the left atrium passes through the mitral (bicuspid) valve to enter the left ventricle. The left ventricle, with its thick wall, pumps the oxygenated blood up through the aortic semilunar valves into the ascending aorta to be distributed throughout the body. FIGURE 1.

Splenic vein thrombosis is a relatively common finding in pancreatitis. Gastric variceal bleeding is a life-threatening complication of splenic vein thrombosis, resulting from increased blood flow to short gastric vein. Traditionally, splenectomy is considered the treatment of choice. However, surgery in necrotizing pancreatitis is dangerous, because of severe inflammation, adhesion, and bleeding tendency. In the Warshaw operation, gastric variceal bleeding is rare, even though splenic vein is resected. Because the splenic artery is also resected, blood flow to short gastric vein is not increased problematically. Herein, we report a case of gastric variceal bleeding secondary to splenic vein thrombosis complicated by necrotizing pancreatitis successfully treated with splenic artery embolization. Splenic artery embolization could be the best treatment option for gastric variceal bleeding when splenectomy is difficult such as in case associated with severe acute pancreatitis or associated with severe adhesion or in patients withhigh operation risk.

Congenital absence of the portal vein, portal vein hypoplasia, portal vein thrombosis and portal collaterals are described. Portal collaterals are further discussed as high- and low-flow connections and categorized in hepatic arterioportal malformation, arteriovenous fistula, end-to-side and side-to-side congenital portosystemic shunts, acquired portosystemic shunts, cavoportal and porto-portal collaterals. Knowledge of different portal system anomalies helps understand the underlying physiopathological mechanism and is essential for surgical and interventional approaches. Keywords: portal system; portal vein; portosystemic shunt; portal hypertension; computed tomography 1. Introduction The portal venous system is essential for the maintenance of the liver mass and function in mammals. The portal system collects blood from major abdominal organs (i.e., gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, spleen) delivering nutrients, bacteria and toxins from the intestine to the liver. In addition, the portal blood carries approximately from one-half to two-thirds of the oxygen supply to the liver and specific hepatotrophic factors [1,2]. The portal blood is detoxified by the hepatocytes and then delivered into the systemic circulation via the hepatic veins and caudal vena cava [3].

The SMV collects the venous return from the small intestine, stomach, pancreas, cecum, ascending colon and proximal portion of the transverse colon. The SMV tributaries include the small intestine, right gastro-omental, inferior pancreaticoduodenal, ileocolic, right colic, middle colic (MCV) and marginal (MarV) veins. The IMV receives the blood from the superior rectal, sigmoid and left colic veins, which cover the distal portion of the transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon and superior rectum.
