Abstract

Ischemic colitis following aortic reconstruction for abdominal aortic aneurysm was discussed. The low morbidity rate of postoperative abdominal symptom was recognized significantly when meandering mesenteric artery (MMA) was shown clearly in angiography before surgery. When inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) was patent before surgery, furthermore when IMA was not reconstructed, it is necessary for preventing postoperative ischemic colitis that mean IMA/systemic pressure ratio is above 0.5 or 0.6.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
