Anastomoses01:19

Anastomoses

1.9K
In human anatomy, anastomosis refers to a connection or opening between two things, particularly between blood vessels or other tubular structures. The term is derived from the Greek term 'anastomosis,' which means 'outlet' or 'opening.' This natural network of connections plays a critical role in the survival and functionality of the human body.
Anastomoses can be formed at arterial, venous, and lymphatic vessels.
Arterial Anastomosis: These occur between arteries. They...

Hemodialysis I: Introduction

684
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...

Fetal Circulation01:14

Fetal Circulation

1.9K
Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

Development of Blood Vessels01:07

Development of Blood Vessels

1.1K
The development of the vascular system in a fetus is a complex and intricate process that begins as early as 15 to 16 days post-conception. This process starts outside the embryo, specifically in the mesoderm of the yolk sac, chorion, and connecting stalk. Approximately two days later, the formation of blood vessels occurs within the embryo itself.
The initial formation of this system is facilitated by the small amount of yolk present in the ovum and yolk sac. Blood vessels originate from...

Abdominal Aorta01:25

Abdominal Aorta

1.5K
Once the aorta traverses the diaphragmatic plane at the aortic hiatus, it is known as the abdominal aorta. This anatomical structure is positioned leftward of the spinal column, encased within a cocoon of adipose tissue behind the peritoneal cavity. It terminates at the L4 vertebra, where it splits into the common iliac arteries. Prior to this bifurcation, the abdominal aorta gives rise to several vital branches.
The celiac trunk, a singular artery, divides into the left gastric artery, which...

Summary

Uterine arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare causes of vaginal bleeding. Transarterial embolization is a safe and effective treatment, preserving fertility with high success rates.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Uterine arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are uncommon yet potentially life-threatening causes of vaginal bleeding.
  • Typically affecting multiparous women in their thirties, AVMs can be congenital or acquired, often following uterine surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnosis and management of uterine arteriovenous malformations.
  • To highlight transarterial embolization as a primary treatment modality.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis involves transvaginal color-Doppler ultrasound, complemented by contrast-enhanced MRI or CT.
  • Treatment options include medical management, endovascular embolization, and surgery.

Main Results:

  • Transarterial embolization is the preferred treatment, with high clinical and technical success rates (up to 90%).
  • This endovascular approach preserves childbearing capacity and has minimal complications.
  • Liquid embolic agents, particularly those in the dymethil-sulfoxide family, offer technical advantages.

Conclusions:

  • Transarterial embolization is a highly effective and safe treatment for uterine AVMs.
  • Surgery, including hysterectomy, is reserved for cases where endovascular treatment fails.
