A 59-year-old man with abdominal pain was admitted to the emergency department. Investigations had revealed a right-sided paraduodenal hernia and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) twisting around the superior mesenteric artery in rotation, the ‘whirlpool sign’. Owing to the increasing severity of abdominal pain and the presence of SMV thrombosis complicated with strangulated paraduodenal herniation associated with high mortality rates, diagnostic laparoscopy was performed. Resection of the intestines was not needed and paraduodenal hernia was repaired. The patient was uneventfully discharged.

Abstract Background The aims of the present study were to demonstrate the anatomical change of superior mesenteric vein (SMV) branches and to show how the Cattell Braasch maneuver facilitates a safer ligation of these venous branches during a pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Methods Between January 2010 and December 2019, 97 patients with peripancreatic tumors underwent pancreatectomy. We retrospectively reviewed preoperative triple-phase enhanced computed tomography (CT) images and analyzed variations in SMV branches. Anatomical changes in SMV branches after the Cattell Braasch technique were observed using our operation video and illustrations. Results The first jejunal vein (J1v) in 75% of patients ran posterior to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), while the remainder (25%) ran anterior to it. The inferior pancreatoduodenal vein (IPDV) was preoperatively detected in 91% of patients. The IPDV drained into the J1v in 74% of patients and into the SMV in 37%. After the Cattell Braasch maneuver, the J1v which ran posterior to the SMA now was found to lie to the right anterolateral side the SMA and the visualization of both the J1v and the IPDV were much more clearly visualized. Conclusions The most frequent venous variation was the IPDV draining into the J1v posterior to the SMA. After the Cattell Braasch maneuver, the IPDV was now located to the right anterolateral anterior aspect of the SMA which facilitates its visualization and should allow a safer ligation.

Introduction The most common causes of lower gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage are diverticulosis and angiodysplasia. Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) of the intestine is an uncommon cause of GI hemorrhage. Case Presentation Herein, we report a case of an embolization of an AVF originated from the superior mesenteric artery and vein as a cause of acute massive lower GI bleeding. Conclusion The patient underwent a right hemicolectomy and ileotransversostomy.
