mesenteric vein

An ultrasound of the abdomen and mesenteric veins may also be done.

She guided her finger onto the hole that had been ripped in the superior mesenteric vein.

The ileal veins are tributaries of the superior mesenteric vein.

As adults, they make their way to the inferior mesenteric vein and mate, producing thousands of eggs.

The overall ultrastructural organization of the mesenteric vein (Fig.

Interestingly, however, secondary and tertiary mesenteric veins have almost identical thickness.

Mesenteric veins and arteries exhibited similar gross organization, but expected differences were also observed in some individual structural elements.

Control of bleeding from the portal/superior mesenteric vein.

The worms then migrate through the circulation ending at the mesenteric veins where they mate and start laying eggs.

It drains into the superior mesenteric vein.

A dilated inferior mesenteric vein may or may not be related to portal hypertension.

Mesenteric vein can refer to:

Ultimately these veins drain into the portal system, either directly or indirectly through the splenic or superior mesenteric vein.

S. mekongi is related to S. japonicum and affects both the superior and inferior mesenteric veins.

Occasionally, the hepatic portal vein also directly communicates with the inferior mesenteric vein, although this is highly variable.

The right colic vein drains the ascending colon, and is a tributary of the superior mesenteric vein.

The SMA typically runs to the left of the similarly named vein, the superior mesenteric vein.

The superior mesenteric vein drains blood from the small intestine, large intestine, stomach, pancreas and appendix.

Two recent cases were from malrotation of the pouch and another from mesenteric vein thrombosis complicating pelvic sepsis.

Mesenteric venous thrombosis affects the mesenteric veins, one of two veins through which blood leaves the intestine.

Primary mesenteric vein thromboses may also cause ischemic acute abdomen, usually precipitated by hypercoagulable states such as polycythemia vera.

Thrombosis of the superior mesenteric vein is quite rare, but a significant cause of mesenteric ischemia and can be fatal.

It is a tributary of the superior mesenteric vein, and follows the path of its corresponding artery, the middle colic artery.

In most individuals, the hepatic portal vein is formed by the union of the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein.

In human anatomy, the inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) is a blood vessel that drains blood from the large intestine.
