Abstract

Background/Aim:

Fistulous communication between the splenic artery and the vein is rare. We present one such case.

Patient And Methods:

A 50 year old woman was admitted to the hospital complaining of abdominal pain and diarrhea, both unrelated to the meals. Physical examination, laboratory testing, computed tomography, and aortogram were performed.

Results:

The patient was treated by surgical resection of splenic artery and vein, as well as with splenectomy. Pathological examination showed a 5x5 cm aneurysm of the splenic artery that was connected to the splenic vein through a fistulous tract.

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

Hemodialysis I: Introduction

Hemodialysis 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...
