Aberrant right hepatic artery vena cava fistula: a case report
Surgery
|February 1, 1989
Abstract:
An unusual case of visceral arterial venous fistula between an aberrant right hepatic artery and the inferior vena cava is presented. A critical review of the anatomic relationships in this location offers a plausible explanation to account for the rarity of this type of fistula. The second issue deals with the ligation of the hepatic artery. We caution against hepatic artery ligation, especially when dealing with an aberrant right hepatic artery.

01:25Hemodialysis I: Introduction
Hemodialysis (HD) is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions effectively. In this process, blood is filtered through a semipermeable membrane, allowing for the selective removal of waste while preserving necessary components like blood cells and proteins. Hemodialysis is typically performed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney...
01:22Portal Hypertension
Portal hypertension is an increase in blood pressure within the portal venous system. Normally, this pressure is less than 5 mmHg. It is considered clinically significant when it rises above 10 mmHg. At this threshold, complications from altered blood flow and venous congestion emerge.EtiologyPortal hypertension arises from conditions that impede blood flow through the liver. The most common cause is cirrhosis, in which chronic liver injury leads to fibrotic scarring. This fibrosis narrows or...
