Developing an Experimental Aneurysm Model in a Rabbit Using an Elastase-Treated Vessel Pouch03:47

Developing an Experimental Aneurysm Model in a Rabbit Using an Elastase-Treated Vessel Pouch

512
Source: Wanderer, S., et al. Arterial Pouch Microsurgical Bifurcation Aneurysm Model in the Rabbit. J. Vis. Exp. (2020)This video demonstrates the creation of an experimental aneurysm model in a rabbit using an elastase-treated vessel pouch. After excising a segment of the right CCA, the pouch is treated with elastase, then sutured to the left CCA to restore blood flow. The resulting stress on the weakened pouch walls induces aneurysm...

Abdominal Exam IV: Acute Abdominal Pain Assessment

73.3K
Source: Joseph Donroe, MD, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT
Abdominal pain is a frequent presenting concern in both the emergency department and the office setting. Acute abdominal pain is defined as pain lasting less than seven days, while an acute abdomen refers to the abrupt onset of severe abdominal pain with features suggesting a surgically intervenable process. The differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain is broad; thus, clinicians must have a...

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical pathology
    • Diagnostic imaging
    • Abdominal surgery

    Background:

    • Acute cholecystitis is a frequent surgical emergency.
    • Situs inversus totalis presents a diagnostic challenge due to atypical organ positioning.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely and effective surgical intervention.

    Observation:

    • The case involved a patient with situs inversus totalis presenting with symptoms suggestive of acute cholecystitis.
    • Radiographic imaging played a key role in identifying the reversed anatomy and the inflamed gallbladder.
    • Clinical presentation required careful evaluation to differentiate from other abdominal pathologies.

    Findings:

    • The study highlights the importance of considering situs inversus totalis in differential diagnoses for acute abdominal pain.
    • Successful surgical management of cholecystitis was achieved despite the anatomical anomaly.
    • Radiographic findings were critical in confirming the diagnosis and planning the surgical approach.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the need for heightened awareness and tailored diagnostic strategies for acute cholecystitis in patients with situs inversus.
    • It provides valuable insights for surgeons managing gallbladder disease in rare anatomical variations.
    • Improved understanding can lead to better patient outcomes by preventing diagnostic delays and ensuring appropriate surgical care.
