The Right

Nutcracker syndrome is described as the symptomatic compression of left renal vein between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery, resulting in outflow congestion of the left kidney. We present the case of a 51-year-old male with a left-sided inferior vena cava, resulting in compression of the right renal vein by the superior mesenteric artery. Secondary to this anatomic anomaly, the patient experienced a many-year history of flank pain and intermittent gross hematuria. We have termed this unusual anatomic finding and its associated symptoms as the “inverted nutcracker syndrome”, and describe its successful management with nephrectomy and autotransplantation.

High Concentrations

Summary133 blood vessels were evaluated for vasculokinase concentration in the freshly morbid state. High concentrations of activity were found in the aorta, iliac artery, superior mesenteric artery and popliteal artery. Activity was occasionally found in the inferior vena cava and common iliacs veins. Other vessels evaluated had no activity. Evaluation of the data with respect to vas-culokinase activity and atherosclerosis suggests higher levels of vasculokinase in those vessels having atherosclerosis.

Abstract Penetrating traumatic injuries can present a challenging scenario due to the potential for multisystem involvement requiring swift collaboration between surgical specialities. We present the case of a 66-year-old female who was stabbed in the right posterior chest. CT revealed a diaphragmatic injury, liver laceration involving segments 6/7 with active bleeding, and a posterior superior mesenteric artery (SMA) to anterior inferior vena cava (IVC) fistula. Due to the proximity of the SMA injury to a replaced right hepatic artery origin, the fistulous connection with the suprarenal IVC, and suspected pancreatic and duodenal injuries, a hybrid rather than a purely endovascular approach was taken. A large compliant occlusion balloon was placed percutaneously in the hepatic IVC. Subsequent trauma laparotomy and right medial visceral rotation identified SMA and SMV injuries, which were repaired with temporary supracoeliac aortic clamping. Further kocherisation of the duodenum revealed a 10 cm longitudinal IVC laceration causing sudden large volume venous haemorrhage. This was repaired after control was gained with supracoeliac aortic clamping, infrarenal IVC vessel loop and balloon inflation. An abdominal VAC dressing was applied. Before transfer to ICU, however, 1L of blood was noted in the VAC cannister and a relook laparotomy demonstrated more than 1L of intrabdominal fresh blood. Bleeding vessels around the uncinate process were ligated. After 48 hours, a relook laparotomy revealed no significant bleeding, and the abdomen was closed. A post-operative MRCP demonstrated pancreatic divisum and likely laceration of the aberrant ventral duct. A subsequent peripancreatic collection was managed conservatively.

Abdominal Compartment

Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA) syndrome is a condition in which the duodenum becomes compressed between the SMA and the aorta, resulting in bowel obstruction which subsequently compresses surrounding structures. Pressure on the inferior vena cava (IVC) and aorta decreases cardiac output which compromises distal blood flow, resulting in abdominal compartment syndrome with ischemia and renal failure. A 15-year-old male with SMA syndrome presented with 12 hours of pain, a distended, rigid abdomen, mottled skin below the waist, and decreased motor and sensory function in the lower extremities. Exploratory laparotomy revealed ischemic small bowel and stomach with abdominal compartment syndrome. Despite decompression, the patient arrested from hyperkalemia following reperfusion.
