    The incidence and location of corona mortis: A study on 75 cadavers
    (2004) Okcu G.; Erkan S.; Yercan H.S.; Ozic U.
    We dissected 150 fresh cadaver halves by ilioinguinal exposure, and counted all vessels more than 2 mm in diameter, connecting the obturator system to the external iliac system. The distance between the symphysis pubis and the anastomotic vessels was measured. We found vascular anastomoses between the obturator and external iliac systems in 91 of 150 sides (61%), and anastomotic veins in 78 of 150 exposures (52%). Arterial connections were seen in 29 of the exposures (19%). The mean distance between the anastomotic arteries and the symphysis pubis was 64 (45-90) mm, and 56 (37-80) mm for the communicating veins. There seemed to be no significant difference between genders in the incidence of corona mortis and the distance between communicating vessels and the symphysis pubis.

    Surgical treatment of a post-traumatic femoral arteriovenous fistula; [Posttravmatik dev femoral arteriovenöz fistülün redo operasyonu]
    (Anatolian Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2014) Yildirim F.; Tetik Ö.; Besir Y.; Kestelli M.; Sürer S.; Gürbüz A.
    One of the leading causes of arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) is trauma on the vascular course and its vicinity. Untreated traumatic AVF may cause aneurysmal dilation of the involved artery and vein. Herein, we present the case of a patient in whom a progressive dilatation of both left femoral and iliac arteries and veins developed consequent to a post-traumatic femoral AVF 35 year after injury. The patient was surgically treated and a vertical incision was performed on common femoral artery identifying the fistula tract within it and it was closed using 5-0 polypropylene suture and the patient had an uneventful, complete recovery. © 2014, Anatol J Clin Investig.

    The short-and long-Term effectiveness of transcatheter arterial embolization in patients with intractable hematuria
    (Elsevier Masson SAS, 2016) Korkmaz M.; Åžanal B.; Aras B.; Bozkaya H.; Çlnar C.; Güneyli S.; Gök M.; Adam G.; Düzgün F.; Oran I.
    Purpose: Selective transarterial embolization (TAE) of the internal iliac artery is a well-known alternative technique to control intractable bladder hemorrhage (IBH). We explored the shortand long-term effectiveness of, and clinical outcomes after, TAE in patients with IBH. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, we reviewed the hospital records of 18 IBH patients non-responsive to conservative medications who underwent TAE between January 2003 and May 2014. The early- and long-term effectiveness of TAE was investigated in the context of hematuria control, complications, mortality, requirement for blood transfusions, and hematocrit level. Results: Sixteen of the 18 patients underwent endovascular treatment; the technical success rate was 88%. TAE allowed complete remission in 16 patients (100% clinical success). On follow-up, mean hematocrit (P = 0.003) and hemoglobin (P = 0.005) levels significantly improved. Thirteen of the 16 patients (81%) required no further emergency admission after TAE during a mean follow-up period of 18.1 months (range, 3-105 months). Conclusion: TAE is a feasible, effective, and safe technique in both the short- and long-term for the treatment of IBH. © 2015 Éditions françaises de radiologie.

    Iatrogenic Iliac Arteriovenous Fistula Presenting with Heart Failure Symptoms After Ruptured Ovarian Cyst Surgery; [Over Kist Rüptürü Operasyonu Sonrası Kalp Yetersizliği Semptomları ile Prezente Olan İyatrojenik İliyak Arteriyovenöz Fistül]
    (Ortadog u Reklam Tanitim Yayincilik Turizm Egitim Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., 2023) Alkan F.; Düzgün F.
    Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistulas (AVF), which are increasing in the literature with the increase of surgical closed vascular interventions in diagnosis and treatment, are rare but have fatal complications. AVF may present with congestive heart failure symptoms, cardio-pulmonary symptoms, and leg edema immediately after the operation or over the years, depending on the size of the fistula. Diagnosis can be made by imaging examinations such as Doppler ultrasonography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance angiography in patients with suspected AVF. The endovascular stent-grafting approach seems to be more popular in eligible patients due to surgical treatment's high morbidity and mortality rates. We aimed to report a rare case of iliac arteriovenous fistula that developed after a laparoscopic intervention due to ovarian cyst rupture and successfully grafted with an endovascular covered stent. 2146-9032 / Copyright © 2023 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
